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

What this case is

Development plan. A development plan is the detailed site plan for a project on land that already carries its zoning, often inside an approved planned development: the buildings, access, parking, drainage and phasing. It is reviewed against the rules that already apply rather than changing them, in many jurisdictions by staff or a review committee rather than at a public hearing. Approval of the development plan is a site-design sign off. Building permits are the next public step, and a permit, not the plan, is what authorizes construction.

Who decides what on this record:

• Planning Board. An appointed board that holds the public hearing and votes on a recommendation. The elected board casts the deciding vote later. The elected board, meaning the county commission or the city council, casts the deciding vote at a later meeting.
• 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.
