§ 11-1209  FINAL PLAT; ACTION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION; FAILURE OF PLANNING COMMISSION TO ACT; SUBMISSION TO GOVERNING BODY; FAILURE OF GOVERNING BODY TO ACT.
   (A)   The final plat shall be accurately, clearly and legibly drawn in black waterproof India ink or photographed upon good tracing cloth or Mylar. The original plat, which bears all affidavits, certificates, acknowledgments and signatures, together with ten copies thereof, shall be filed with the City Clerk and transmitted to the Planning Commission within 12 months after the date that the preliminary plat is approved.
(2005 Code, § 11-1220)
   (B)   The Planning Commission shall approve or disapprove the final plat within 60 days after it has been submitted for final approval. If the Planning Commission disapproved the final plat, it shall advise the subdivider in writing of the reasons for such disapproval within ten days after such action. The Planning Commission shall approve a final plat if it is:
      (1)   Substantially the same as the approved preliminary plat;
      (2)   There has been compliance with all conditions, restrictions and requirements of this chapter and all other applicable ordinances of the city; and
      (3)   There has been compliance with any conditions that may have been attached to the approval of the preliminary plat.
(2005 Code, § 11-1221)
   (C)   If the Planning Commission fails to act on the final plat within 60 days, it shall be deemed to have been approved unless the subdivider shall have consented to extend or waive such time limitations.
(2005 Code, § 11-1222)
   (D)   Before a final plat is recorded it shall be submitted to the appropriate governing body for its approval, acceptance of streets and other public ways, service and utility easements and land dedicated for public use. Approval of the plat shall be shown over the signature of the Mayor and attested to by the City Clerk following receipt of a Mylar reproduction of the preliminary and final plat as approved. When the area included in the final plat is located in the unincorporated area of the county, and is not to be included in the city limits, it shall also be submitted to the county’s Board for approval. If either the city or county governing body disapproves the final plat, they shall advise the subdivider in writing of the reasons for such disapproval.
(2005 Code, § 11-1223)
   (E)   The governing body (City Council or County Supervisors or both) shall either approve or disapprove the final plat within 60 days after it has been submitted for final approval. The failure of the governing body of the city or the Board of County Supervisors to execute an approval of the plat shall be deemed to be a refusal of the proposed plat.
(2005 Code, § 11-1224)
