Such lot, outlot, or parcel may be divided into more than two but not more than four separate lots, outlots, or parcels upon application to and approval by the City Planning Commission. A survey showing such proposed divisions prepared by a registered engineer or by a registered land surveyor, including a proper legal description of each separate lot, outlot, or parcel proposed, shall be submitted with the application. A copy of the application and the survey shall be forwarded to the City Engineer for recommendation. Upon receipt of such recommendation, the matter shall be placed upon the agenda of the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission. Should the Planning Commission approve the requested divisions, the Chairperson shall notify the City Manager, and the fact of such a division shall be noted upon the city assessment roll and thereafter the divided portions of the lot, outlot, or parcel shall be considered to be separate lots, outlots, or parcels for tax assessment and all other purposes. No such division shall be permitted unless each of the parts into which such lot, outlot, or parcel is to be divided meets the minimum requirements of the city’s Zoning Code, including width, area, side yard, and setback requirements. In those cases where either sewer or other services have been installed within the plat by special assessment and the lot proposed to be divided has been assessed therefor, no division shall be permitted unless the applicant agrees in writing to pay into the Special Assessment District an additional amount to be determined by the City Manager representing the increased share of the cost of the Special Assessment District which should be borne by the applicant for the division of said divided lot, outlot, or parcel when divided into three or four such lots, outlots, or parcels.
