“Rural subdivision” means the division of a parcel of land into one or more lots or parcels for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building development, whether future or immediate. There shall be established two categories of rural subdivision as follows:
Class A Rural Subdivision. A parcel, divided into lots that are five acres or more in size, and is not served by central sewer and/or central water, that is for residential purposes, shall be deemed a Class A rural subdivision.
Class B Rural Subdivision. A parcel, divided into lots that are two acres or more in size, and is less than five acres, and not served by central sewer and/or central water, that is for residential purposes, shall be deemed a Class B rural subdivision.
A parcel divided into lots of two acres or less, or a parcel served by central sewer and central water, shall not be deemed a rural subdivision and shall be reviewed under the standards as set forth in sections 16.20 and 16.24 of this title. (Ord. 554 (part), 2002)
To provide areas of low density residential development where urban services (i.e. central water and sewer) are not available and the extension of these services are unlikely. Adequate provision for the supply of water and disposal of sewage shall be documented prior to approval of rural subdivision. Where rural subdivisions are allowed, minimum improvements required are the same as those required by the city’s minimum subdivision standards, except for those exceptions/requirements established in this chapter. (Ord. 554 (part), 2002)
A. A layout plan shall be submitted to planning administrator to determine whether the proposal meets the criteria of a rural subdivision. The layout plan shall include a vicinity map of the request and a subdivision layout at a scale that will adequately represent the property and can be readable. The planning administrator shall determine from the layout plan whether the rural subdivision requirements shall apply.
B. If the layout plan meets the criteria of a rural subdivision, a subdivision plat shall be submitted in accordance with Section 16.08.010 of this code.
C. Whenever a lot or lots are platted as a rural subdivision and are subsequently replatted and do not meet the criteria for a rural subdivision, all procedures and public improvements, as required by this title, shall be met including the construction of required public facilities.
