A. A.R.S. § 9-463.01 directs City Councils of municipalities throughout the state to regulate the subdivision of all lands within their respective cities so as to establish minimum requirements and standards for the installation of subdivision streets, sewer and water utilities, and improvements as a condition of final plat approval.
B. The city is committed to ensuring that its growth shall constitute balanced development which reflects proper consideration of the range of economic, environmental, fiscal, social, and other issues. The subdivision of land impacts all of these issues.
C. These regulations accommodate growth by considering the need for services generated by subdivisions along with public ability to provide and/or private willingness to contribute to the costs of these services.
D. The purpose of these regulations is to provide for the orderly growth and harmonious development of the city; to insure adequate traffic circulation through coordinated street systems with relation to major thoroughfares, adjoining subdivisions and public facilities; to achieve individual property lots of reasonable utility and livability; to secure adequate provisions for water supply, drainage, sanitary sewerage, and other health requirements; to insure consideration for adequate sites for schools, recreation areas and other public facilities; to promote conveyance of land by accurate legal description; and to provide logical procedures for the achievement of this purpose.
