As per section 19-55.5, the planning board, as part of its review of land development projects, shall also consider and decide on any related requests for zoning variances or special use permits under the unified development review process. The planning board's consideration of a land development project which requires a variance or special use permit shall be subject to a public hearing meeting the requirements of division 2 of article iI of this chapter and the city's land development and subdivision review regulations.

Land development project applications which require dimensional relief from the zoning regulations which qualifies only as a modification under section 19-45(c) shall proceed by filing a land development project application and a request for a modification to the zoning officer. If such a modification is granted, the application shall then proceed to be reviewed by the permitting authority. If the modification is denied or an objection is received as set forth in section 19-45(c) such application shall proceed under unified development plan review.
