This section is included in your selections.

A. Applicability. A planned development shall be reviewed under this Chapter and the zoning, development and other land use control ordinances contained in Titles 11, 12, 14, and 20 of the Vancouver Municipal Code, and any uncodified ordinances modifying the same, in effect on the date a concept plan application has been deemed fully complete by the City. For the purposes of this section, a vested concept plan application shall mean that the applicant is entitled to implement the planned development or any portion of it described in the application under the zoning, development and land use ordinances applied by the City in its review of the planned development application.

B. Subsequent Regulations. An applicant may have the option of subjecting its development to any subsequently enacted land use ordinances. However, should an applicant choose to subject its development to a subsequently enacted land use ordinance, this shall have the effect of subjecting the development to all land use ordinances enacted after the application is vested, unless the city and applicant agree otherwise. In order for the Planning Official to grant such a request, the applicant must demonstrate how later enacted ordinance(s) will benefit both the project and the City while maintaining consistency with the comprehensive plan. Applicant must also demonstrate that use of later enacted ordinances will not conflict with other ordinances the development remains subject to and will not be significantly detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City. Planning Official shall review and either approve the request or determine if a new application must be submitted. (Ord. M-3643, 01/26/2004)
