The Board of Trustees may amend the Zoning Map after holding a public hearing, but such action shall have the effect only of granting permission for development of the specific proposal, in accordance with site plans approved by the Board of Trustees.

Approval by the Board of Trustees for each phase of development for planned development shall be secured by the owner.
