Conceptual Master Plan Approval

2.5.4.

Conceptual Master Plan Approval

A. Purpose The purpose of this subsection is to provide an administrative procedure whereby a developer may opt to submit, and the Town consider, a conceptual master plan for a large and/or phased development proposal that depicts its major development and design parameters (i.e., major circulation and infrastructure systems, major open spaces, allocation of categories of land uses and development intensities among portions of the development site, and phasing of development over time). Conceptual Master Plan Approval is intended to provide a developer an opportunity to obtain the Town’s preliminary approval of such conceptual master plans—either in conjunction with an application for Conditional Rezoning or as a precursor to the preparation and submittal of the more specific and more detailed plans required for subdivision approvals or site plan approvals. B. Applicability General Conceptual Master Plan Approval is not required for any development, but any landowner may submit an application for Conceptual Master Plan Approval to obtain the Town’s preliminary approval of conceptual plans for a development, provided the application meets at least one of the following qualifications: a. The application site includes a contiguous area of at least ten acres; b. The application proposes development containing at least 100,000 square feet of total gross floor area with three or more principal uses;
