(A) Where the Planning Commission finds that the subdivision of a lot for sale or lease to a utility for the purpose of installing a service facility will promote the public health, safety, or welfare, then the Planning Commission may approve the requested subdivision, notwithstanding the fact that the resulting lots do not conform to the applicable requirements relating to area or width of the lot or relating to the size of any associated access easements. Any such subdivision shall be solely for the purpose of installing the utility service facility. If the utility subsequently abandons its resultant substandard lot and the lot from which it was created is also substandard, then the substandard lot created for the utility shall not be used for any purpose unless it is consolidated with the lot from which it was originally divided. If the utility subsequently abandons its resultant substandard lot and the lot from which it was created does not become substandard by virtue of this section, then the substandard lot created for the utility shall not be used for any purpose unless it is consolidated with an adjacent lot and that resultant lot is in a zoning classification that permits the proposed use.
(B) Note: Conditions of approval on all subdivision plans shall remain applicable to the subject property after the subdivision plan expires.
