3.2.9 Preliminary Subdivision Plan Approval (Major Subdivision, New Streets)
Preliminary Subdivision Plan Approval is only required for Major Subdivisions where new streets or public improvements are being created. All other subdivision types can go directly to Final Subdivision Plan Approval in Section 3.2.11.
The purpose of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan Approval is to document the approved subdivision layout prior to the applicant creating the engineering plans. The Preliminary Plan Approval shall address any provisos approved the City Planning Commission. The Executive Director of the City Planning Commission shall stamp and sign the Preliminary Plan to indicate its approval. The approved Preliminary Plan shall be given to the applicant and any relevant review agency.
Note: Preliminary Subdivision Plan Approval does not constitute final acceptance of the subdivision plan by the City, and this plan shall not be recorded. The applicant is required to receive Final Subdivision Plan Approval from the City Planning Commission prior to recording the survey or selling lots.
