(A) The purpose of good subdivision and site design is to create a functional and attractive development, minimize adverse impacts, and ensure that a project will be an asset to the community. To promote this purpose, subdivisions shall conform to this subchapter’s standards which are designed to result in a well-planned community without adding unnecessarily to development costs. The regulations in §§ 152.051 to 152.066 inclusive shall control the manner in which streets, lots and other elements of a subdivision are arranged on the land. These design controls shall help ensure convenient and safe streets, creation of usable lots, provision of space for public utilities, and preservation of land for recreational uses. The planning of attractive and functional neighborhoods shall be promoted, minimizing the undesirable features of unplanned, haphazard growth.
