A zone shall be deemed to be designated when the Development Plans and the necessary regulations have been adopted and approved in accordance with the provisions of § 7005 of this title and the provisions of §§ 62 et seq. of this title. The tax benefits granted in §§ 7006, 7007 and 7012 of this title shall take effect by zone upon completion of the designation process of each.
