If you have a specific site in mind, you should try and find out the following before you make your plans:

Please keep in mind that the following special circumstances may affect the development of the property: variances, non-conforming status of the use or structure, site-specific zone district waivers and conditions, PUD stipulations, landmark designation, inclusion in an already approved site plan such as a Planned Building Group, location along a designated Parkway, or location subject to a view plane.
