Section 096-372-10 - Phased Development
The Board requires that an application for approval include present plans for all phases of a development to be undertaken on a parcel. In the absence of evidence sufficient to approve all phases of the proposed development, the Board may approve one or more phases of the development based on the evidence then available. Approval of phases, however, shall be based on compliance of the entire proposed development with the standards of the Site Location Law.
NOTE: A proper analysis of the potential primary, secondary and cumulative impacts of a proposed development can be made only when all phases of a proposed development are considered. Also, the plans for site modification and pollution mitigation need to be based on the entire extent of a proposed development in order to insure their effectiveness in accomplishing the desired objectives.
