A. A completed preliminary plat must be submitted for final approval within one year. The planning commission may grant a one year extension if the plat complies with all applicable ordinances at the time the extension is sought. The extension must be requested prior to preliminary plat expiration.
B. If a final plat which covers only a portion of the approved preliminary plat is recorded within the one year time limit or extension thereof, the validity of the unrecorded portion of the preliminary plat shall be extended for one year from the date of recording the final plat.
C. The preliminary plat must be amended if the developer desires to increase the number of lots in the subdivision, or change the grade or location of streets within the subdivision.
D. The preliminary plat need not be amended to decrease the number of lots in the subdivision, to make minor lot boundary changes, or to make other minor changes if the community development director or designee and the city engineer find that amending the preliminary plat is not necessary to protect the interest of the City or adjoining property owners.
E. If a subdivision is proposed to be developed in phases, preliminary plat approval for the remaining portions of the subdivision shall not be voided if final plat for the first phase is approved and recorded within one year of the date of preliminary plat approval.
