1111.04 AUTHORITY AND ADMINISTRATION.

   (a)    The Planning Commission and Council according to statutory provisions of Ohio R. C. Chapter 711, and this Charter, having adopted a Comprehensive Plan, and the provisions of the Charter are authorized, subject to the holding of required public hearings, to adopt rules and regulations covering plats for subdividing land, and to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove plats or subdivisions of land falling within the City's jurisdiction. It shall be the responsibility of the Planning Commission to administer these Subdivision Regulations except where specific authority is given to other agencies or officials as set forth in these Regulations. Furthermore, it shall be the duty of the Planning Commission and its staff, together with other appropriate agencies and officials to enforce these Regulations within all areas under the subdivision jurisdiction of the Planning Commission as prescribed by law.

   (b)    The Planning Commission, by virtue of the authority granted by the statutes, Ohio R. C. Chapters 713 and 735, and the Charter, or such statutes hereinafter in effect, may prepare plans for unsubdivided or improperly subdivided areas to show a pattern of future streets and public open spaces. After the required public hearings have been held, such plans or portions thereof may be adopted by the Planning Commission and recorded, and thereafter no subdivision may be approved and no street may be improved or accepted, unless it conforms substantially to such recorded plan; and no permit may be issued for construction of a building or structure on land shown within the right of way of any proposed future street until such right of way has been acquired or reserved; however, such permit may not be withheld for more than ninety days or such extended time as is mutually agreeable by the City and the owner.
