3.1 Different Types of Review Process

All subdivision applications are classified into one of two general categories, as either Minor or Major Subdivisions. In addition, there are two types each of Minor and Major Subdivisions. Minor Subdivisions are either eligible or ineligible for Administrative Approval. Major Subdivisions can be divided into those that create or do not create a new street. Here are the four types of subdivision. The steps for the review of a subdivision application vary by application type.

 

•     Minor Subdivision, Administrative Approval

•     Minor Subdivision, Commission Approval

•     Major Subdivision, No New Streets or public improvement/infrastructure

•     Major Subdivision, New Street or public improvement/infrastructure
