Nonresidential developments include commercial and industrial developments. The Planning Commission recognizes that the subdivider creating nonresidential subdivisions faces unique problems of lot design not normally encountered in residential subdivisions. For this reason, the initial emphasis of the Commission shall be upon street layout and block arrangement. Generally, the procedural requirements shall be as set forth in Article 1379, and to show the entire tract to be subdivided with necessary improvements and as many parcels as he cares to show, but at least two. As prospective buyers express interest in lots sized to their required specifications, the owner may submit to the Commission an amendment to the approved final subdivision plat for consideration. Regular procedural requirements shall then apply. In addition to the principles and standards in these Subdivision Regulations which are appropriate to the planning of all subdivisions, the subdivider shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Commission, that the street, parcel and block pattern proposed is specifically adapted to the uses anticipated and takes into account other uses in the vicinity. The principles and standards set forth in this article shall be observed.
