Development Plans.
Tupelo Development Code § 12.8.3
in effect12.8.3. - Development Plans.
A development plan is required for any rezoning of five or more acres, or any rezoning in which the proposed use involves changes to zoning standards. The development plan provides additional information with a zoning map change petition. The purposes and required elements of the development plan are set forth in Section 12.9, Development Plan. The development plan establishes the level of development that will be allowed on the property. Subsequent site plans or plats shall not deviate from the plan, unless otherwise allowed, or required under this Code. Deviation may require a zoning map change, as established in Section 12.9.12, Deviations from Approved Development Plans. A development plan will also function as a major site plan or major subdivision preliminary plat when it is prepared and submitted in keeping with requirements for those applications. The right to develop pursuant to a development plan, whether approved under this Code or any previous Code, accrues only for any portion of the plan for which a site plan or preliminary plat is approved, and then only for the period of validity specified in this Code.
