(a) Permitted Uses.
(1) A building or premises may be used only for the retail sale of merchandise; services; general and professional offices; recreational uses, except outdoor theaters; parking areas; and other facilities ordinarily accepted as shopping center uses.
(2) Before land is used or a building erected or used for any of the above purposes, a preliminary plan and a final plan shall be approved by the Planning Commission for all contiguous property within this district in any one location. The Commission shall have thirty days to consider and approve or reject a preliminary plan, with or without modifications, although this period may be extended by agreement of the parties concerned. Rejection of a preliminary or final plan by the Planning Commission may be appealed to Council. Upon such appeal, the Planning Commission shall transfer its reasons for disapproval to Council which may then approve the plan only by a five-sevenths or more vote of its membership.
Final plans will be approved when in accordance with approved preliminary plans. From time to time the proponents may make minor changes in the approved final plan so long as such changes have been approved by the Director of Building and Zoning or upon denial of approval by such Director of Building and Zoning, with the approval of the Commission. What constitutes a “minor” change will be determined in the sole discretion of the Director of Building and Zoning. No building or occupancy permits shall be issued for any building or use that is not in accordance with an approved final plan.

(5) Provide for the dedication of any rights-of-way for the widening, extension or connection of major streets as shown on the official plan.
(6) Indicate the stages, if any, which will be followed in construction.
(d) The Final Plan. The Final Plan shall be the standard plot plan required to obtain a building permit and shall include all requirements of the preliminary plans and it shall show the types of uses to be accommodated in each building or portion thereof.
