c. The land use for existing and proposed structures.
d. The dimensions of all setbacks and the distances between all structures.
e. The final location and dimensions of all pedestrian walkways, driveways, streets, and parking and loading facilities, including the number of parking spaces serving each use and all parking related screening and landscape.
f. The exact location and dimensions of any areas proposed to be conveyed, dedicated, or reserved for any other public or quasi-public use, including parks, parkways, playgrounds, school sites, or government facilities.
2. An accurate legal description of the entire lot upon which the planned development is to be located.
