  § 42-8. Preliminary plat application approval.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    The municipal planning commission shall be required to act upon the preliminary plat application once it is determined that the application is administratively complete, appropriate fees have been paid, plans and items for consideration submitted and has been determined to be in compliance with the general and administrative provisions of this article by the city manager. The preliminary plat shall be scheduled for consideration on the first available planning and zoning commission agenda as determined by the date of acceptance for review and the calendar schedule as maintained by the city manager.

    (b)

    Following review of the preliminary plat and other materials submitted for conformity to the regulations of this article, including changes deemed advisable and the nature and extent of improvements to be made by the subdivider, the planning and zoning commission shall act thereon as submitted or modified, and if approved, the planning and zoning commission shall express its approval as conditional approval and state the conditions of such approval, if any, or if disapproved, shall express its disapproval and its reasons therefor. A notation of the action taken and requisite reasons therefore shall be entered in the records of the planning and zoning commission.

    (c)

    The city manager shall, at the next available council meeting following action by the planning and zoning commission, submit the preliminary plat with the conditions established by the planning and zoning commission to the council for their consideration. The city council shall approve or disapprove the development plan with or without special provisions.

    (d)

    Approval of a preliminary plat by the city council shall not constitute approval of the final plat. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval to the layout submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the final plat.
