Uses"; (3) "PD Concept Plan - Open Space & Trail System"; and (4) "PD Concept Plan -
Thoroughfares". Except as otherwise provided by this PD Ordinance or the PD
Supplement, each of these drawings is a part of this PD Ordinance, and all graphic
depictions contained on such drawings are considered "regulatory" standards.
A.PD Concept Plan - Planning Area The drawing labeled "PD Concept Plan -
Planning Area" identifies the general boundaries of the PD District for the "Circle T
Planning Area No. 8 - West Commercial". The exact boundaries of the PD District
are shown on the metes and bounds description attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Any information
shown on this drawing that is outside the boundaries of the PD District is not considered part of
the PD Concept Plan or this PD Ordinance and does not bind or otherwise affect development
within the PD District.
B.PD Concept Plan - Land Uses The drawing labeled "PD Concept Plan - Land
Uses" identifies the general categories of land uses that are permitted within the PD
District sub-areas. This drawing also includes an estimate of the size of such sub-areas.
For non-residential sub-areas, the drawings indicate the applicable floor area ratios and an
estimate of total floor area. The estimates of total floor area, however, are provided for
informational purposes only and are not "regulatory" standards, and to the extent, if any,
that the actual total floor areas differ from the estimates, such differences shall not require
an amendment to the PD Concept Plan. For single family sub-areas, the drawings also
identify minimum lot sizes. These drawings also identify open space areas; however,
such open space areas are more specifically discussed in Subsection C below. Any
information shown on these drawings that is outside the boundaries of the PD District is
not considered part of the PD Concept Plan or this PD Ordinance and does not bind or
otherwise affect development within the PD District. To the extent, if any, that the
drawings illustrate the detailed layout of golf course features (such as tee boxes, fairways,
and greens) or detailed building "footprints", such detailed illustrations are not considered
part of the PD Concept Plan or this PD Ordinance and do not bind or otherwise affect
development within the PD District.
C.PD Concept Plan - Open Space & Trail System The drawing labeled "PD
Concept Plan - Open Space & Trail System" identifies public open space, private open
space, and public and private golf (together with an estimate of the size of such areas).
This drawing also identifies the general location of public hike and bike trails and public
equestrian trails (which locations are not to scale). Any information shown on these
drawings that is outside the boundaries of the PD District is not considered part of the PD
Concept Plan or this PD Ordinance and does not bind or otherwise affect development
within the PD District.

Thoroughfares" identifies major thoroughfares proposed for both development
alternatives within the PD District.

time this PD District was established) waived the requirement for development plans.
Based on such development plans shall not be required within this PD District.

approved (including, but not limited to, the submittal requirements, approval criteria, and
conditions).

drawing labeled "Circle T Ranch - Planning Areas" which illustrates the general
boundaries of all Circle T Planning Areas; (2) a drawing labeled "Circle T Ranch - Land
Uses" which illustrates the general land use categories for all Circle T Planning Areas;
(3) a drawing labeled "Circle T Ranch - Open Space & Trail System" which illustrates
the open space and trail system for all Circle T Planning Areas; and (4) a drawing labeled
"Circle T Ranch - Thoroughfares" which illustrates the thoroughfares for all Circle T
