(a) City Council Action. Within forty-five days of the city's receipt of the hearing examiner's recommendation on any proposed planned development overlay, the city council shall consider the recommendation at a public meeting, where it may adopt, modify or reject the recommendations of the hearing examiner.

(b) Effect of Approval. Upon the city council's approval of a planned development overlay, the subject property shall be designated with the "(PD)" suffix qualifier as provided in SMC 10.24.040(a). The city council shall promptly thereafter initiate a legislative amendment the official zoning map pursuant to SMC 10.40.030(1) to reflect the new zoning designation, unless such zoning map amendment application has been included in the approved planned development application. The criteria of SMC 10.24.050 shall be used rather than the review criteria of SMC 10.40.050 or SMC 10.40.070.

(c) Failure to Develop. If substantial construction has not been performed on the project within eighteen months after the date of approval, the planned development overlay zone designation shall lapse, and the property shall revert by operation of law to the underlying zoning district, regardless of any contrary designation on the official zoning map. The city council may choose to extend this 18-month period one time, for an additional period not to exceed 12 months, upon good cause shown in writing by the applicant. The city council's decision with respect to any such extension shall be final. (Ord. 1995, § 1, 2016.)
