(A) Effective period of preliminary plat approval. The approval of a preliminary plat shall be effective for a period of two years after City Council approval at the end of which time final plat approval on the subdivision shall have been obtained from the City Council or a time extension granted. Any preliminary plat not receiving final approval within the period of time set forth herein shall be null and void, and the developer shall be required to resubmit a new plat for preliminary approval subject to all new zoning restrictions and subdivision regulations of the city. See § 153.23(A)(3).
(‘81 Code, § B1-17)
(B) Zoning regulations.
(1) Every plat shall conform to existing zoning regulations, the official map and the subdivision regulations. For one year following preliminary approval and for two years following final approval, unless the subdivider and the municipality agree otherwise, no amendment to the City's comprehensive plan or land use regulations shall apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, lot layout, or dedication or platting required or permitted by the approved plat application.
(2) The conformance shall not be interpreted as restricting the City Council’s authority to allow flexibility in density and dimensional requirements in areas zoned “Planned Development” (PD) or “Residential Cluster” (RCL), as provided in the city’s zoning chapter.
