What are completed site plan drawings awaiting governmental approvals called?

1. Final site plans

2. Draft plans

3. Preliminary site plans

4. Approval plans

The correct answer is: Preliminary site plans

The term for completed site plan drawings that are awaiting governmental approvals is commonly referred to as "approval plans." These plans are finalized documents that incorporate all necessary details about a project, including compliance with local regulations and zoning laws. Before these plans can be executed, they must receive the necessary governmental endorsements, which is a crucial step in the development process. In this context, the other terms do not correctly define the situation. "Final site plans" typically refer to plans that have already been approved and are ready for construction. "Draft plans" denote earlier versions of a plan that are still subject to change and feedback, therefore not final in any context. "Preliminary site plans" usually involve initial concepts rather than the completed forms necessary for approval. Thus, "approval plans" effectively captures the essence of the plans waiting for governmental endorsement.
