Projects with development orders that have not expired at the time this Land Development Code or an amendment thereto is adopted, and on which development activity has commenced or does commence and proceeds according to the time limits in the regulations under which the development was originally approved, must meet only the requirements of the regulations in effect when the development plan was approved. The town shall provide for all public facilities and services needed prior to approval of a certificate of occupancy and shall certify this exception in writing.
