Approval is a two-step process. Each step must go through the hearing process. A preliminary approval is based on a preliminary plan. Final approval requires submitting and approval of a final plat. Final plat approval shall be granted if the plat:
A. Generally conforms to the preliminary plat;
B. All engineering is acceptable to the city;
C. All required financing or other surety required for public or community improvements are acceptable to the city;
D. The approval is limited to the specific plan. Should that plan not be built, the controlling standards remain that of the underlying zoning district. (Ord. 1495-96 § 3(part), 1996).
