The general terms and conditions under which preliminary approval was granted will not be changed. The developer shall proceed to design the public improvements, and may proceed with the preparation of the final plat.
(D) The approval of the City Council shall be effective for a period of 12 months. Should the final plat in whole or in part not be submitted to the city for approval within this time limit, the preliminary plat must again be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval.
