(a) Application. An application for a proposed major subdivision as defined in Chapter 1167
shall be submitted to the Commission for approval according to the following procedures.
(1) Sketch plan. Prior to the preparation of a preliminary plan, the developer shall consult informally with the Commission and City Engineer in order to familiarize himself with these regulations, applicable zoning and other codes and plans of the City. At the time of the informal consultation, the developer shall submit to the Commission a sketch plan specified in Section 1175.02.
A. Filing. Six copies of the preliminary plan and supplementary material shall be submitted to the Commission with written application for approval. The Commission shall review the preliminary plan and other material for conformity to these regulations applicable, zoning and other codes and plans of the City. The Director of Public Safety and Service shall inform the developer as to which public offices must be contacted by him to determine the nature and extent of the improvements required in Appendix (A) to these regulations, and obtain a report by the Director of Public Safety and Service on the preliminary plat which shall be given to the Commission.
B. Commission action. The Commission shall approve, disapprove, or modify the preliminary plan within 30 days after filing, or within such further time as the developer may agree to. The Commission's action including any conditions of approval, shall be noted on two copies of the preliminary plan. One copy shall be retained by the Commission, and the other returned to the developer. Commission approval of a preliminary plan shall not constitute approval of a subdivision plat. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval based on the layout of streets, blocks, lots, and improvements shown on the preliminary plan and the Commission's conditions of approval, if any.
(3) Subdivision plat.
A. Generally. The subdivision plat shall conform to the preliminary plan except where changes are agreed to by the Commission. The plat may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plan which the developer proposes to record and develop at the time, provided that such portion conforms with all requirements of these regulations, applicable zoning, and other codes and plans of the City.
B. Filing. The subdivision plat shall be filed with the Commission not later than 18 months after the date of approval of the preliminary plan, otherwise it will be considered void unless an extension is requested by the developer and granted by the Commission. The subdivision plat shall be considered officially filed with the Commission after it has been examined by the Law Director as to form and found by the Director of Public Safety and Service to be in full compliance with these regulations. The official filing shall take place at least ten working days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered by the Commission. The application shall include six copies of the subdivision plat specified in Section 1169.08 and Chapter 1175, together with:
1. A certificate from the Director of Public Safety and Service and Board of Health with a report by the City Engineer, that all improvements required by these regulations have been installed, or that a performance agreement or bond have been duly filed to secure the construction of such improvements.
2. Cross sections and profiles of streets and all other plans and construction drawings related to the improvements to be constructed in the subdivision as required by the Director of Public Safety and Service and Board of Health.
(b) Commission Action. The Commission shall approve or disapprove the subdivision plat within 30 days after filing, or within such further time as the developer may agree to. The grounds for disapproval shall be stated on the record of the Commission.
(c) Recording. Commission approval shall be void after 30 days unless the subdivision plat is duly recorded with the Recorder, or an extension has been granted by the Commission. The developer shall within 30 days after recording furnish the Commission with a certified mylar or linen copy of the recorded plat at no cost to the City.
