No building or other permit shall be issued for any work on property included within a proposed or approved RPUD development,nor shall any work occur unless such work is in compliance with the proposed or approved RPUD development.

The comments of the planning commission and city council shall address the consistency of the concept plan with this section.The comments of the planning commission and city council shall be for guidance only and,if positive,shall not be considered binding upon the planning commission or city council regarding approval of the formal RPUD application when submitted.
