WALKLEY Dramatic Criticism 108 The ‘apron’ is the technical name for the stage-area in front of the curtain. In the Elizabethan theatre it jutted right out among the public, who surrounded it on three sides.
The Apron Planning and Design Guidebook is used in the US. The goal was to provide a one stop shop for all the relevant information. The FAA maintains a list of standards. Further, there is special CAD software for the design of airports. This includes the turn radius planning for a large number of aircraft. Finally, because of the complexity ...
Apron taxiways are just taxiways, except they are on the apron. They help planes on the apron connect to the main taxiways or the planes on the main taxiways connect to the apron. I don't know what you meant by holding taxiways, but I assume you meant runway threshold or runway holding point. In that case, here's your illustration:

But the distance between two stands isn't 3m+wingspan+3m, because the plane has to park with its own propulsion, so has to do a 180º turn in this space. – oriolflvi. Jul 29, 2016 at 9:24.
23. Ramp refers to the area in airport where the aircraft are parked. This term comes from the days of seaplanes. From this site: The term ‘Ramp‘ traces its roots back to the days of seaplanes when there literally was a ramp from the water to the terminal parking area.

In practice, the terms "terminal" and "concourse" are often used interchangeably, with "satellite ...
This type of parking system is called MARS (Multi Aircraft (or Apron) Ramp System) and is being used or explored by many airports. You can see markings for them on the ground at CLE. Here is a google maps link to one of the stand areas. CLE terminal. Here is an article on the stands.
The A350-900 has a wingspan of 64.75m and a wheel span of 12.87m (see airport planning manual). It requires a facility of category E. In your case, the taxiway would be an apron taxiway. From Doc 9157: 1.1.9 The requirements for apron taxiways regarding strip width, separation distances, etc., are the same as for any other type of taxiway.
CS ADR-DSN.D.265 Longitudinal slopes on taxiways. (a) The safety objective of limiting the longitudinal taxiway slope is to enable stabilised safe use of taxiway by an aircraft. (b) The longitudinal slope of a taxiway should not exceed: 1.5% where the code letter is C, D, E, or F; and. 3% where the code letter is A or B.
