2. At least 15 percent of the DWELLING UNITS in the plan given preliminary approval are included in all but the final stage.
3. The second and subsequent stages are completed consistent with the approved preliminary plan and are of such size and location, including a sufficient degree of completion of the road network and other infrastructure, that they constitute economically sound units of DEVELOPMENT.
4. Each phase shall include public space in amounts and at locations deemed acceptable by the Board of Supervisors to meet, at minimum, the public space needs generated by that phase and to assure protection of the sensitive features of the tract.
5. Gross residential DENSITY may be varied from stage to stage, provided that final approval shall not be given to any stage if the gross residential DENSITY of the area that includes stages already finally approved and the stage for which final approval is being sought exceeds by more than 20 percent the gross residential DENSITY allowed for the entire TND in the approved preliminary plan.
