A conceptual plan is a plan that sets forth the proposed final design, in compliance with the requirements of Section 127-421 Requirements for publicly accessible private streets, for the remaining portions of the publicly accessible private street or upland connection certified pursuant to paragraph b1i of Section 127-422 Certification for publicly accessible private streets, or paragraph a1i of Section 127-542 Supplemental provisions, respectively. The plan shall include the proposed location, dimensions and grading for such remaining portions on adjoining zoning lots and shall be considered by the Chairperson of the City Planning Commission in reviewing the proposed final site plan for such remaining portions, if and when they become the subject of a certification pursuant to paragraph b2
of Section 127-422 or paragraph a2 of Section 127-542.
Final site plan A final site plan is a plan that specifies the final design for the location, dimensions, and grading of all or portions of the publicly accessible private streets or upland connection that are the subject of a certification pursuant to paragraphs a or b of Section 127-422
or paragraphs a1 or a2 of Section 127-542. Where applicable, the design of such plan shall be consistent with any conceptual plan for the same portion of the publicly accessible private street or upland connection and, once certified and implemented in accordance with paragraph b of Section 127-422 or paragraph a of Section 127-542, such plan shall supersede any interim plan for the same portion of a publicly accessible private street or upland connection.
Interim site plan An interim site plan is a plan that specifies, for an interim period, the design for the location, dimensions, and grading of portions of the publicly accessible private street or upland connection that are the subject of a certification pursuant to paragraph b1 of Section 127-422 or paragraph a1 of Section 127-542 and located on the applicants zoning lot. A design for an interim period is necessary where it is not feasible to implement the final design for such portions until build-out of the remaining portions of the publicly accessible private street or upland connection occurs. Such interim site plan, once certified, shall remain in effect until implementation of the final site plan in accordance with paragraph b of Section 127-422 or paragraph a of Section 127-542, at which time the certified final site plan shall supersede the interim site plan.
