(2) The location, size, height and use of all main and accessory buildings and the general design and color of buildings;
(3) The proposed system of circulation of vehicular traffic, including delivery trucks, details for connections to present and future streets, the types of pavement and estimates of traffic volume.

(b) Approval of Plans. If the Commission and the Building Inspector find that the preliminary plan is in accordance with the Zoning Code and other codes of the Municipality, the final development plan shall be submitted to Council for study and approval. The plan may be modified by the same procedure. No building permits shall be issued by the Building Inspector until such plan has been approved as provided in this subsection.
Failure to begin the construction of all or an independent component of the plan within one year after approval by the Commission shall void the plan as approved, unless an extension of time is approved by Council.
(c) Occupancy. No use or occupancy shall be permitted until the development plan for which a building permit has been issued is substantially completed and until an occupancy permit is obtained from the Building Inspector as provided in the Building and Housing Code.
