It is recognized that the subdivider, in creating a nonresidential subdivision, faces problems of lot design not normally encountered in residential subdivisions. For this reason, the initial emphasis of the Plan Commission shall be upon street layout and block arrangement.
(A) (1) The procedural requirements for primary and secondary approval are as provided in this chapter. Non-residential subdivisions may be either major or minor plats, as defined. However, in any case, the subdivider need show only the proposed street and block layout and not lot locations on the primary plat.
(2) Subsequently, as prospective buyers or users express interest in lots sized to their required specifications, the subdivider may then submit a secondary plat or plats in phases to the Administrator which include lot lines. Streets or other public facilities may not be changed from the approved primary plat unless approved by the Plan Commission or Plat Committee, where applicable.
(B) Site plan approval, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, and nonresidential plat approval may proceed simultaneously provided all standards are met.
(C) The following standards apply to non-residential subdivisions.
(1) Nonresidential subdivisions must be appropriately zoned for business or industry prior to the proposal for a subdivision.
(2) All nonresidential subdivisions shall be served by, approved sewer and water facilities, by individual wells, on-site sewage disposal facilities, or some combination thereof as specified by this chapter.
(3) All applicable design standards of this chapter shall be met.
(4) All applicable standards of the Zoning Ordinance, including off-street loading, fire lanes, and buffer areas, shall be met.
(D) If access will be required for large trucks and/or heavy loads, the Plan Commission may increase the construction and design requirements according to § 153.090 based upon the recommendation of the County Engineer. Roads serving primarily non-residential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to the boundary of adjacent tracts used or zoned for residential purposes, nor shall primarily residential roads be used for access to nonresidential subdivisions.
(E) In nonresidential subdivisions, the streets and other accessways shall be planned in connection with the grouping of buildings, location of rail facilities, and the provision of alleys, truck loading and maneuvering areas, and walks and parking areas, so as to minimize conflict of movement between the various types of traffic, including pedestrian.
