From and after the time when the planning commission shall have adopted a major street plan and shall have certified the same to the city council, no plat of a subdivision of land lying within the city shall be filed or recorded in the county recorder's office until it shall have been submitted to and approved by the planning commission and the city council, and such approval shall have been entered in writing on the plat by the secretary of the planning commission and the city recorder. The filing or recording of a plat of a subdivision without such approval shall be void. The planning commission shall prepare regulations governing the subdivision of land with the city. The city council shall hold a public hearing on the subdivision regulations and thereafter may adopt said regulations for the city. (1995 Code § 65-3-4; amd. 2003 Code)
