Permit for the lots, parcels or fractional interests.
(2) Identify topographic, hydrologic or other site constraints, requirements or
limitations that must be addressed as conditions to the eventual issuance
of a building or Use Permit. These constraints, requirements or limitations
may be as noted by the applicant or through departmental review, but there
shall be no requirement for independent studies.
