b. Prior to the commencement of any new use or construction of any structures listed in the matrices, the required permit identified in the matrices (i.e., Planned Development Permit, Conditional Use Permit, Zoning Clearance) for the proposed use or structure shall be obtained, or when applicable, modification of an existing discretionary permit shall be approved to authorize new uses or structures associated with an existing project pursuant to Section 8111-6 of this Chapter.
