(a) Boundaries of the tract to be developed.
(b) Base mapping of the tract showing the physical features, such as topography, drainage ways, water bodies, trees over four inch caliper trunk measured four feet above the ground, and all species native or indigenous to the area.

Such approval shall constitute the authorization to apply for zoning permits and develop the approved project within the R-5 Zoning District for which the site development plan approval was granted, in accordance with the site development plan details and time schedule. In taking action, the Commission may deny the approval, or may approve the development plan subject to specific required modifications.
(a) The secretary of the Commission shall notify the Zoning Inspector of the decision of the Commission. Such notification shall be in writing.
(b) The Inspector shall satisfy that all requirements have been met, including site development plan approval and shall issue the zoning certificate for the approved development based on the approved site development plan which shall be filed with the Office of the Inspector.
(c) Any change or deviation from the approved site development plan must be reviewed and approved by the Commission in accordance with the provisions specified herein.
