C.

Definition of "Complete Application for a Site Specific Development Plan." For purposes of this subsection, a "Complete Application for a Site Specific Development Plan" shall be defined as set forth in Article 10 of this Code and shall refer only to a Complete Application for approval of a Final PUD Development Plan (§ 3.8), Final Plat (§ 3.9), or Site Plan (§ 3.15). For purposes of this subsection, each separately numbered section of this Article (§ 3.5 through § 3.29), sets forth a completely separate approval process for a particular development application. None of the procedures contained in any numbered section (such as PUD rezoning review) shall be interpreted to be the first stage of any other procedure in any other numbered section (such as Major Subdivision review). In addition, no optional step (such as optional PUD Outline Development Plan review) in any numbered section shall be deemed to be the first stage of any required step (such as PUD Preliminary Development Plan review) in any numbered section.
