(a) No land shall, after the adoption of these Regulations, be subdivided without complying with the provisions of these Regulations. However, planned unit development may be permitted, and to this end certain regulations regarding building setbacks, yard area requirements, pedestrian walkways and thoroughfare requirements may be modified by the Planning Commission to the extent that such planned unit development will contribute to the orderly, efficient and economical development of the City.
(c) Where land is being subdivided, no lot, tract or parcel of land within any subdivision shall be sold until any required subdivision plan has been properly reviewed and officially approved and recorded in the County Recorder's office.
(d) No improvements, such as sidewalks, water supply waste water facilities, storm water drainage, gas and electric service, lighting, paving or surfacing of any street shall be made within any subdivision by any owner or his or her agent until the preliminary and final plats for the subdivision and the construction drawings have been properly reviewed by the Code Enforcement Officer and the City Engineer and officially approved by the Planning Commission and until the performance and maintenance bonds for public improvements have been posted and accepted. Preliminary or rough grading may be permitted in advance of the formal approval of the final plat and construction drawings, provided that such grading does not impair or alter drainage or create an adverse impact on adjacent property.
(e) Where a tract of land is proposed to be subdivided in several stages over a period of years and the subdivider requests approval in parts, he or she shall, at the time of the pre-application conference, submit a concept plan for the entire tract to be eventually developed, with appropriate sectioning to demonstrate to the Planning Commission that the total design, as proposed for the entire subdivision, is acceptable under these Regulations. The Planning Commission may give preliminary approval to the concept plan and subsequently formal approval to the preliminary and final plats for the various sections as submitted to the City in accordance with the administrative procedures specified in Chapter 1244.
(f) No person shall erect or enlarge any structure on any lot, parcel or tract of land without first having met the requirements of these Regulations.
