(B) In reviewing and approving the preliminary site plan, the following procedures and conditions shall be followed.
(1) The proposed development in a PD District shall be of such area as to represent a sound carrying out of the master plan of land use, it not being the intention of this district that an unrelated parcel-by-parcel development be effectuated.

(4) Approval of the preliminary plan by the City Council shall not constitute approval of the final site plan. It shall be deemed as approval of the land use plan submitted and shall serve as a guide in the preparation of the final plan.
(5) Acceptance of the preliminary site plan by the City Council shall be effective for a period of two years.
(6) In an area zoned PD District, no development shall take place therein nor use made of any part thereof, except in accordance with the site plan as originally approved, or in accordance with an approved amendment thereto.
