(a) Property owners who wish to have their land zoned for a Conservation Development District shall complete the following steps:
(1) Provide notice to the Planning and Zoning Commission of intent to pursue a Conservation Development District on a parcel.
(2) Present a preliminary Existing Conditions Site Report prepared in accordance with the provisions of this code to the Planning and Zoning Commission and request preliminary approval to pursue a Conservation Development District. This preliminary presentation to the Planning and Zoning Commission is intended to notify the Village of the potential for a Conservation Development District on a specific parcel and to make the property owner aware of any potential development issues. The Planning and Zoning Commission will take no formal action on the preliminary Existing Conditions Site Report at this step.
(3) Finalize with the Village Engineer the Existing Conditions Site Report, the Yield Plan, and the preliminary Development Plan for the Conservation Development District.

(5) Present the documents in Section 1160.07(a)(3) to the Planning and Zoning Commission to request rezoning of the parcel to a Conservation Development District. The request for rezoning and application for preliminary Development Plan approval shall occur simultaneously and the approval of one shall be dependent on the approval of the other.
