(a) The official written communication provided for in this subchapter shall be certified by the City Clerk and shall be filed in his or her office, and a certified copy shall be mailed to the landowner. Where tentative approval has been granted, the same shall be noted on the Zoning Map.
(b) Tentative approval of a development plan shall not qualify a plat of a planned residential development for recording, nor authorize development or the issuance of any building permit. A development plan which has been given tentative approval as submitted, or which has been given tentative approval with conditions which have been accepted by the landowner (and provided that the landowner has not defaulted or violated any of the conditions of the tentative approval), shall not be modified, revoked or otherwise impaired by action of the Municipality pending an application for final approval without the consent of the landowner, provided that an application for final approval is filed or, in the case of development over a period of years, provided that applications are filed within the periods of time specified in the official written communication granting tentative approval.
(c) If a development plan is given tentative approval and thereafter, but prior to final approval, the landowner elects to abandon such development plan and so notifies Council in writing, or if the landowner fails to file an application on time, as the case may be, the tentative approval shall be deemed to be revoked and all that portion of the area included in the development plan for which final approval has not been given shall be subject to those local ordinances otherwise applicable thereto as they may be amended from time to time, and the same shall be noted on the Zoning Map and in the records of the City Clerk.
