The purpose of a Site Preparation Permit shall be to apply the zoning, <br />environmental, development and public facilities standards contained in chapters 4, 5, <br />6 and 7 of this Land Development Code to a specific development design proposed <br />for a platted tract, parcel or lot. A Site Preparation Permit assures that preparatory <br />construction activities on the development site will meet City standards prior to soil <br />disturbance, construction or placement of a structure on the tract, parcel or lot. A Site <br />Preparation Permit application may consist of a series of schematic drawings <br />designed to satisfy one or more criteria governing the decision on the permit. <br /> <br />(b) Applicability.

Within the City limits, the zoning, environmental, development and <br />public facilities standards in chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Land Development Code <br />apply to a Site Preparation Permit application. Within the City's extraterritorial <br />jurisdiction, only the environmental and public facilities standards in chapters 5 and 7 <br />apply to a Site Preparation Permit application. <br /> <br />(c) Exceptions.
