Sec. 9-1.9. Site-specific vesting plan.
   A.   A site-specific vesting plan consists of a plan submitted to a local government in which the applicant requests vesting pursuant to this section or G.S. 160D-108.1, describing with reasonable certainty on the plan the type and intensity of use for a specific parcel or parcels of property. The plan may be in the form of, but not be limited to, any of the following plans or approvals:
      1.   Planned unit development plan,
      2.   Subdivision plat,
      3.   Preliminary or general development plan,
      4.   Special use permit,
      5.   Any other land use approval designation as may be utilized by the city.
   B.   The plan shall include the following information:
      1.   Approximate boundaries of the site;
      2.   Significant topographical and other natural features affecting development of the site;
      3.   Approximate location on the site of the proposed buildings, structures, and other improvements;
      4.   Approximate dimensions, including height, of the proposed buildings and other structures; and
      5.   Approximate location of all existing and proposed infrastructure on the site, including water, sewer, roads, and pedestrian walkways.
   C.    What constitutes a site-specific vesting plan under this section that would trigger a vested right shall be finally determined by the city pursuant to a development regulation, and the document that triggers the vesting shall be so identified at the time of its approval.
   D.   A variance does not constitute a site-specific vesting plan, and approval of a site-specific vesting plan with the condition that a variance be obtained does not confer a vested right unless and until the necessary variance is obtained.
   E.   A sketch or other document that fails to describe with reasonable certainty the type and intensity of use for a specified parcel or parcels of property may not constitute a site-specific vesting plan.
