No building permit or occupancy permits shall be issued for any building or use that is not in accordance with an approved final plan; and
(7) The final plan may be used as the plan required to obtain an occupancy or building permit, except that it shall also show the use or types of uses to be accommodated in each building or portion thereof in addition to the other requirements of the Village Subdivision or Development Ordinances.
