§ 155.050 GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS.

   (A)   Generally. All subdivision improvements shall be in conformance to the following rules and regulations:

      (1)   The city zoning ordinance (Chapter 154 of this code);

      (2)   The General Plan of the city including all streets, drainage systems, and parks shown on the General Plan as adopted;

      (3)   The rules of the Arizona Department of Transportation if the subdivision or any lot contained therein abuts a state highway or connecting street;

      (4)   The rules of the Maricopa County Flood Control District;

      (5)   The rules of the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Maricopa County Department of Health Services relative to water and sanitary sewage disposal; and

      (6)   The design standards and regulations adopted by the city, which shall include, but not be limited to, the Uniform Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and the Uniform Standard Details for Public Works Construction, as sponsored and distributed by Maricopa Association of Governments.

   (B)   Self-imposed restrictions. If the owner places restrictions on any of the land contained in the subdivision greater than those required by the zoning ordinance (Chapter 154 of this code) or this chapter, the restrictions or reference thereto may be required to be indicated on the subdivision plat, or the Planning and Zoning Commission may require that protective covenants be recorded with the County Clerk.

   (C)   Monuments. The applicant shall place permanent reference monuments in the subdivision as approved by a registered land surveyor and the City Engineer.

   (D)   Character of the land; land unsuitable for development. Land which the Planning Zoning Commission finds to be unsuitable for subdivision of development because of flooding, improper drainage, rock formations, adverse earth formations or topography, utility easements, or other features which will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health, and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the subdivision and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, upon recommendation of the City Engineer, to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land conditions. The land shall be set aside for uses that shall not involve such a danger.

   (E)   Subdivision name. The proposed name of the subdivision shall not duplicate, or too closely approximate phonetically, the name of any other subdivision in the area covered by this chapter. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall have the final authority to designate the name of the subdivision which shall be determined at sketch plat approval.
