The 60-day rule will apply to each of the subdivision procedures including preliminary plats, final plats, and metes and bounds subdivision plats.
(D) Coordination of planned unit development zoning applications.
(1) General requirements. Whenever the zoning regulations authorizes planned unit development zoning applications and the application entails the division of the land, vacant or improved, into two or more lots, parcels, sites, units, plots, or interests for the purpose of offer, sale, lease, or development, whether residential or nonresidential, major subdivision approval by the City Council shall be required in addition to all other procedures and approvals required in the zoning regulations, whether or not applicable zoning procedures also require City Council approval.
(2) Intent. It is the intent of these regulations that subdivision review be carried out simultaneously with the review of planned unit development (PUD) zoning applications under the zoning regulations. The plans required for these types of zoning applications shall be submitted in a form to satisfy the requirements of the subdivision regulations.
(3) Procedure to be followed.
(a) Sketch plat and preliminary plat approval required. Whenever a planned unit development zoning application is submitted which involves a subdivision of land as set forth in these regulations, a concurrent submittal of a subdivision application shall be submitted to the city. The application shall be made on the forms required for a sketch plat and preliminary plat as set forth in this chapter and shall include all information required of a sketch plat application.
(b) Final plat approval required. A final plat of the final approved planned unit development application must be approved by the City Council. No building permits or certificates of occupancy shall be issued for the project until the zoning application has been finally approved by the city and the final subdivision plat is recorded with the Chisago County recorder’s office.
(4) Resubdivisions of planned unit development zoning.
(a) A planned unit development may be resubdivided for purposes of sale or lease after the project plan has been finally approved and development completed or partially completed.
(b) If the resubdivision of a planned unit development will create a new lot line, the applicant shall make application to the Planning Commission for the approval of the major subdivision. The City Council may waive this requirement if it determines that the resubdivision will not significantly alter the character of the project.
