draft site plan
Explanation:
The qualification كروكي indicates that this is a preliminary drawing of a site plan. Here is an example:

http://www.ci.san-jose.ca.us/planning/sjplan/dev_pre.htm

"Preliminary review is a response to your project concept by Plan Implementation staff. It is intended to be a time saving process that will benefit you, the prospective applicant, and the City. We will review your draft site plan or other proposal before you spend time and money on professionally drawn plans. We want to help you reduce the time spent revising plans to meet City standards before they go to public hearing."

Suggestions:

Defining the facades and the regulatory lines/boundaries.

Draft site plan: according to the approved ordinance, the facades will be constructed as follows.

* The qualification "approvde" may not be necessary. If it is an ordinance, it is probably approved.

* القرار المعتمد depends on the context. I chose here the word ordinance, it could be an approved variance, resolution, or decision. An ordinance is normally an approved decision that is recorded in the master plan of a city.

Hope this helps.

Sketch Design is considered as a necessary stage in designing.
The term "sketch design" is the process of developing an interdisciplinary design where the propositions from the design team describe relevant alternative main principles and main system solutions

The essence of Sketch Design is to make some decisions about the earlier concept ideas and to finalise
the approach in terms of planning and construction staging.

Example sentence(s):
  • LOCATION SKETCH DESIGN STRESSES DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS PROFILE
  • The result of sketch design is a model that defines technical spaces, vertical distribution routes, key horizontal routes using cable carriers to describe principal routing
