Any change initiated by an individual that includes a plan amendment and zone change for specific real property may be accompanied by the appropriate applications for a specific development proposal. Approval of such a plan amendment and zone change accompanied by a specific development proposal may be conditioned upon initiation of the development proposal within a specified time period, at the discretion of the Hearings Body, to ensure no greater intensity of use than that contemplated in the proceeding. Approvals of site-specific plan amendments and zone changes that are not accompanied by applications for a specific development proposal shall be based on evaluation of the highest impact uses authorized in the proposed zone.

Because site-specific plan amendments require an alteration of the Bend Comprehensive Plan by action of the City Council, they shall be processed through the Type III quasi-judicial proceeding where the initial Hearings Body makes a recommendation to the City Council for a final decision.
