(A) Subdivisions may be designed to be constructed and platted in phases. Provided, however, the Planning and Development Department or City Engineer may not approve a phasing plan when, in its opinion, such phasing will not provide for adequate public facilities to support any such phase or phases independent of the overall subdivision plan. In approving phases, the Planning and Development Department may require that additional streets, water and sewer facilities, or other required public facilities be constructed as part of the phase or phases in order to ensure that sufficient public facilities will be in place to support such phase or phases independent of any future subdivision development.
(B) If turn lanes or road widening of existing roads are required as a condition of the development, only the initial phase of a development may be platted and the first CO issued until the roadway improvements are complete. Proper construction phasing will redirect construction traffic away from closed homes.
(C) Developments may be platted in phases as long as each phase represents a minimum of 20% of the total area to be developed; self-contained phases served by public utilities and public rights-of-way. Lot numbering shall be sequential throughout the whole development, with no repeated lot numbers in subsequent phases. If transportation improvements are required as a condition of the development, only the initial phase of a development may be platted and the first CO issued until the roadway improvements are complete.
