Site Plan

Definition: A site plan shows how proposed or existing development is arranged on a parcel, including relevant buildings, access, parking, and other site features.

Example

A development submission depicts the building footprint, driveway, parking spaces, drainage, and landscaped areas.

Keep the distinction clear

A site plan is not limited to unusually large projects. It differs from a recorded subdivision plat and does not by itself prove approval.
