Dates and wording are the source's own. Sources publish late and amend; the official record is the authority.

What this case is

Site plan. A site plan is the detailed layout of a specific project on land that already has the zoning for it: the buildings, parking, drainage, access and landscaping. Most jurisdictions review it administratively or before a review committee, so it can move without a public hearing. Site plan approval is usually the last land use step before building permits. A permit, not the site plan, is what authorizes construction.

Who decides what on this record:

• Introduced. The item was formally placed before this body for the first time. It marks the start of that body's review, not a decision. A public hearing and a vote follow at a later meeting.
