(A) Purpose. This subchapter provides standards for public infrastructure and utilities installed with new development, consistent with the policies of the city’s comprehensive plan and adopted city master plans.
(B) Applicability. This subchapter applies to all new development, including projects subject to land division (subdivision or partition) approval and developments subject to site plan review where public facility improvements are required. All public facility improvements within the city shall occur in accordance with the standards and procedures of this subchapter. When a question arises as to the intent or application of any standard, the Planning Commission shall interpret the code pursuant to § 153.005.
(C) Public works infrastructure design standards. All public facility improvements shall conform to the city’s Public Infrastructure Design Standards Manual (Manual). Where a conflict occurs between this chapter and the Manual, the provisions of this chapter shall govern.
(D) Public improvement requirement. No building permit may be issued until all required public facility improvements are in place and approved by the Public Works Director, or otherwise bonded, in conformance with the provisions of this chapter and the Public Infrastructure Design Standards Manual. Improvements required as a condition of development approval, when not voluntarily provided by the applicant, shall be roughly proportional to the impact of the development on public facilities. Findings in the development approval shall indicate how the required improvements directly related to and are roughly proportional to the impact of development.
