Responsible land subdivision is the initial step in the process of orderly community development. Once land has been divided into streets, lots and blocks and publicly recorded, the correction of defects is difficult and costly. The purpose of this article is to set forth rules and regulations for the division of real property so that each subdivision shall be properly coordinated with existing streets, utilities and public facilities and for the future development of these entities. These regulations will be helpful to city officials and private developers by clarifying city requirements and by assuring more uniform application of city standards for new subdivisions.
