Generalized conceptual plans (in sketch form) may be submitted. They should indicate the types of units to be used; the approximate location of all buildings; the type and location of parking facilities; access points and the location of public and private streets; and the location, the type and approximate acreage of all open spaces.
B. The Planning Commission shall discuss with the developer the changes, if any, that will be required and the procedure for submitting the preliminary site development plan. The Planning Commission's approval at this stage should indicate a general willingness to approve the proposed development in principle if the applicant meets the necessary requirements contained in the applicable district regulations and any and all additional requirements and conditions imposed by the Planning Commission.
