This subsection shall apply to any condominium created on or after July 1, 1980, or to the expansion of any such condominium.
The plans shall show the location and dimensions of the horizontal boundaries, if any, and the vertical boundaries of each unit to the extent that such boundaries lie within or coincide with the boundaries of such structures, and the units, or portions thereof, thus depicted shall bear their identifying numbers.
