Jackson Zoning Ordinance § 202.44
in effectpossible on a minimum lot observing all yard, height, and lot coverage provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance.
(a) Development Plan: A drawing or set of drawings depicting the ultimate
layout and proposed land uses for a large tract of land, usually involving varying lot
sizes and/or different proposed land uses. A development plan of a subdivision may
also be considered the "preliminary plat" if it meets the requirements of the City of
Jackson Subdivision Regulations for preliminary plats. A development plan is
sometimes referred to as a "master plan"; however, since the Comprehensive Plan for
the City may also be called a "Master Plan,” the term Master Plan is not used in this
Ordinance.
