OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS
As a condition of final subdivision plat approval, the Planning Commission may require an applicant to pay a pro rata share of the cost of providing reasonable and necessary circulation, drainage facilities and other improvements, including land and easements, located off-site of the property limits of the subdivision but necessitated or required by the intended use. "Necessary" improvements are those clearly and substantially related to the subdivision in question. The Planning Commission shall provide in its resolution of approval the basis of the required improvements. The proportionate or pro rata amount of the cost of such off-site improvements shall be based on the following criteria.
(Ord., passed 10-13-92; Am. Ord. 07-019, passed 8-14-07; Am. Ord. 2024-012, passed 6-11-24)
(A) Full allocation. In cases where off-site improvements are necessitated by the proposed subdivision, and where no other property owner(s) receive(s) a special benefit thereby, the applicant may be required at his or her sole expense and as a condition of approval, to provide and install such improvements.
(B) Proportionate allocation.
(1) Where it is determined that properties outside the development will also benefit by the off-site improvement, the following criteria shall be utilized in determining the proportionate share of the cost of such improvements to the developer.
(2) Allocation formula:
Total cost of enlargement or improvement | Capacity of enlargement or improvement |
= | |
Developer's Cost | Development generated amounts to be accommodated by the enlargement or improvement. |
