Tochnit itzuv
The architectural design plan for a lot, required before a building permit.
After winning a lot, a developer must get a tochnit itzuv approved by the local planning committee. It locks the towers, fabric buildings, courtyards, and public edges. Only then can the city issue a building permit. When a news item says "design plan approved," this is the gate that just opened.
