(A) Based on the comments from the concept plan, the developer shall submit the preliminary subdivision plan to the Planning Director. The application may be submitted five working days before the Planning Commission submittal deadline.
(1) Within five working days of receipt of a subdivision application and fee, the Planning Director will review the application to determine whether it contains all elements required by § 152.036(B).
(2) If the Planning Director determines that the application does not contain all elements as required by § 152.036(B), then the applicant shall be notified in writing of the specific deficiencies; and that the application shall not be scheduled for a public hearing until all elements of the application are submitted. The applicant has until the submittal deadline to submit all elements.
(3) When the Planning Director determines that the application does contain all elements as required by § 152.036(B), the application shall be scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing by the Planning and Zoning Director on a day when the Planning Commission is regularly scheduled to meet as determined by the rules, policies, and regulations as adopted or which may hereafter be adopted by the Planning Commission for holding public hearings on such requests.
(4) The Planning Director will review within ten days to determine compliance with all approval criteria of § 152.036(B).
(5) If the Planning Director determines that the preliminary subdivision plans do not meet the criteria, a one-month deferral of the plan may occur and the Planning Director shall identify specific required information in its notification to the applicant at the end of the ten-day review period. After the one-month deferral and a resubmitted preliminary subdivision plan, the Planning Director may schedule the preliminary plan for a Planning Commission public hearing.
(6) If the Planning Director determines that the preliminary subdivision application is in sufficient compliance with § 152.036(B), but there are specific design, improvement, or other compliance deficiencies, the Planning Director may list conditions to the approval of the subdivision application to the Planning Commission.
(B) The Board of County Commissioners, in taking action on a preliminary plan, shall consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission and shall hold a public hearing at a regularly scheduled meeting. It shall then approve, disapprove, or approve with conditions based upon the criteria within § 152.036(B). Approval of the preliminary plan shall indicate the Board of County Commissioners’ approval of the general location of the lots, blocks, and streets including the interrelationship to proposed zoning districts or land uses; all of which shall be so noted on the preliminary subdivision plan’s certificate of approval. The approved plan shall be kept on file in the office of the Planning Director. Any conditions included by the Board of County Commissioners shall be resolved on a revised preliminary plan which would be submitted to the Planning Director for administrative approval before any development engineering plans and plats are submitted.
