Land in any underlying zoning district may be combined with the B district only when requested by the owners of two or more parcels of land, who have prepared a plan of development, setting forth criteria through maps, illustrations and text governing the size, bulk, coverage, relationship, color, texture, materials and other appurtenances of physical improvements, including, but not limited to, buildings, signs and fences. Such a plan may also provide for, through its location, design and site planning, a convenient, attractive and functional living, working, shopping or civic environment. Further, such a plan shall provide for off-street parking, landscaping and open space. This plan and accompanying text shall become part of the ordinance placing the land in the B combining district, and all further development on the subject parcels shall comply with it.
