Which map is used to determine overlaps with previously approved plans during verification?

When verifying a new plan, you need a map that lets you compare it directly to the already approved layouts using a common coordinate framework. The projection map provides this by placing the project onto the same coordinate grid as the approved plans, so you can visually and technically overlay them to spot any overlaps, encroachments, or misalignments. This overlay capability is what makes it the best tool for detecting conflicts with previously approved plans. A cadastral (cadastre) map focuses on parcel boundaries and ownership, which is important for legal context but doesn’t automatically offer the precise coordinate overlay used to reveal overlaps with existing approvals. Survey monuments are physical reference markers, not a planning map used for overlap checks.
