(A) The Commission’s duly authorized representative shall review the preliminary plat including determination of its conformance to the requirements of these regulations, and shall consider the recommendations or comments of all applicable local (city, county and other local agencies) and state governmental agencies and other organizations, and shall forward such recommendations or comments to the Planning Commission along with its recommenda- tions. The Planning Commission shall then review the recommendations of its duly authorized representative and the recommendations or comments of all applicable local (city, county and other local agencies) and state governmental agencies and other organizations, and take one of the following actions: approve the plat; approve the plat, subject to conditions; or disapprove the plat; within two consecutive meetings from date of official filing, unless such time is extended by agreement between the Planning Commission and the subdivider. Approval of the preliminary plat by the Commission does not constitute final approval of the subdivision, but is merely an authorization to proceed with the preparation of the improvement drawings and specifications and the final plat.
(B) In the event of conditional approval or disapproval of the preliminary plat, a statement, in writing, by the Planning Commission or its duly authorized representative, setting forth the conditions of approval, or reasons for disapproval, shall be submitted to the subdivider.
(C) Approval or conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall be valid and not subject to additional requirements for a period of 24 consecutive calendar months; except that, if a portion of an approved preliminary plat is approved or conditionally approved as a final plat, the approval or conditional approval of the remainder of the preliminary plat shall be valid for 24 consecutive calendar months after the date of approval or conditional approval of the final plat (as provided for in § 157.028 of this chapter). The Planning Commission may, on receipt of a request by the subdivider, grant an extension to this 24-month period if prevailing conditions have not changed appreciably.
