(A) Tentative approval. The Plan Commission shall review and consider all preliminary plats that are submitted for approval, only if the said preliminary plat has been filed with all required supplemental material as described in this chapter. A recommendation of the Plan Commission to the City Council shall be made regarding accepting, rejecting or modifications that may be required to approve the preliminary plat. Tentative approval by the City Council is revocable and does not constitute acceptance of the plat of the proposed subdivision.
(B) Action by the City Council. If the Plan Commission recommends approval of a preliminary plat, the City Council shall either accept or reject said plat within 45 days after its next regularly scheduled meeting following the Plan Commission’s action.
(C) Disapproval of plat. In the event that the City Council denies approval of the preliminary plat, the subdivider shall be notified in writing of the reasons for said denial. The plat shall not be resubmitted for approval until such time that the recommended changes or issues for said denial are addressed.
(D) Time limit for preliminary plat. Tentative approval will be effective for one year, unless upon a request filed with the Plan Commission with such recommendations presented to and approved by the City Council. If both improvement plans are not submitted within this time limit, the preliminary plat shall be null and void, and the applicant must resubmit the plat for tentative approval as a new subdivision, beginning with the sketch plat process.
