E. Approval
designated comment period shall cease at 4:30 p.m. on the next City work day immediately following the fifteenth day.
1. The director may approve, deny, or approve with conditions an application for a commercial site development. The decision shall be based on the following factors: a. Conformity with adopted City and state rules and regulations in effect on the date the complete application was filed, including but not limited to those listed in SDC 21.09.050D. b. Consideration of the recommendations or comments of interested parties and those agencies or departments having pertinent expertise or jurisdiction, consistent with the requirements of this Title. 2. Subsequent permits for the subject site shall be issued only in compliance with the approved commercial site development plan. Additional site development conditions and site review will not be required for subsequent permits provided the approved plan is not altered. 3. Approval of the proposed commercial site development shall not provide the applicant with a vested right to build without regard to subsequent changes in the building and fire codes listed in Chapter 16.05 SMC. 4. The director shall mail a copy of the decision to the applicant and any other person who has presented written comment to the department.
D. Application of development standards
1. An application for commercial site development permit shall be reviewed pursuant to Chapter 43.21C RCW, SEPA, as implemented by Chapter 197-11 WAC; Chapter 9.04 KCC as adopted by SDC 21.03.050, Surface Water Management; SDC 21.08.010, Public Works Standards Adopted; SDC 21.03.070, Clearing and Grading; Chapter 16.05 SMC, Construction Codes; SDC 21.09.030, State Environmental Policy Act Procedures; SMC Title 21, Sammamish Development Code; SMC Title 25, Shoreline Management; administrative rules adopted pursuant to Chapter 2.55 SMC to implement any such code or ordinance provision; King County board of health rules and regulations; and City approved utility comprehensive plans. 2. Lot-based standards, such as internal circulation, landscaping signage and setback requirements, are typically applied to each individual lot within the site. However, the director may approve an application for commercial site development where such standards have been applied to the site as if it consisted of one parcel. Lot-based regulations shall not be waived altogether. 3. The director may modify lot-based or lot line requirements contained within the building, fire and other similar uniform codes adopted by the City, provided the site is being reviewed concurrently with a binding site plan application.
F. Financial guarantees
Performance guarantees consistent with the provisions of SMC Title 27A may be required to assure that development occurs according to the approved plan.
