A development permit is the controlling form of approval for the use of land and development within the jurisdiction of this Ordinance and is a prerequisite for receiving a building permit. A development permit may be issued for development involving multiple activities on a property or for a single purpose such as change of use, or to place a single sign. Issuance of a development permit shall be contingent upon the applicant having received all other permits and approvals related to the land development activities proposed to take place on the property, excepting the building permit. A list of typical permits and approvals that may be required prior to the issuance of a development permit are set forth in Section 4.2.6.
No development or use shall take place or be established within the jurisdiction of this Ordinance unless a development permit has been issued by the Village Planner stating that the proposed development or use complies with all provisions of this Ordinance.
