A. A preliminary development plan is less specific or detailed than a final development plan in terms of the exact arrangement of building, parking areas, open spaces, access points and other site design features. At this stage, the Planning Commission may consider many major aspects of the development without an undue amount of final design work on the part of the developer. A preliminary development plan that is submitted with a request for a zoning map amendment may be used for the Planning Commission's recommendation to the City Commission.
B. When a preliminary development plan is approved by the Planning Commission, then it shall be required that a final development plan be submitted to the Planning Commission within two (2) years of the approval of the preliminary development plan. Otherwise, the preliminary development plan shall be deemed as disapproved with the major aspects of the approved preliminary plan, as determined by the Planning Commission. A copy of the approved preliminary plan shall accompany the submittal of the more detailed, final development plan.
