The following procedures apply to applications for subdivisions except as modified under Chapter 4 Small Subdivisions, Chapter 5, Private Subdivisions, and Chapter 6, Condominium Approval Procedure.
A. Steps of Approval: Before any land is subdivided, the owner of the property proposed to be subdivided, or the owner's authorized agent, shall apply for and secure approval of the proposed subdivision in accordance with the following procedures, which includes four (4) principal steps:
1. Concept plan review (for property within the sensitive area overlay zone).
2. Preliminary subdivision plan review.
3. Subdivision improvement plan review.
4. Final plat review.
B. Coordination of Flexible Zoning Application with Subdivision Approval:
1. It is the intent of these regulations that subdivision review be carried out in coordination with the review of flexible zoning applications under the zoning ordinance. The plans required for flexible zoning applications shall be submitted in a form to satisfy the requirements of the subdivision regulations.
2. Whenever the zoning ordinance authorizes flexible zoning applications which permit uses of land and density of buildings and structures different from those which are allowed as of right with the zoning district in which the land is situated, and the application entails the subdivision or resubdivision of land, subdivision approval shall be required in addition to all other procedures and approvals required in the zoning ordinance, whether or not applicable zoning procedures also require subdivision approval, or Planning Commission review or recommendation. Flexible zoning application shall include, but not be limited to, all conditional use permits and conditional uses, planned residential unit developments, group dwellings, cluster subdivisions, variances, and residential infill development.
3. Whenever a flexible zoning application is submitted which involves a subdivision or resubdivision of land, the application shall include all applications and information required for a preliminary subdivision plan application as set forth in Section 14-2-5. If the subdivision application is for a limited residential subdivision, the applicant shall first receive approval of the flexible zoning application prior to the preliminary subdivision plan application being considered complete. For all other subdivisions, the Planning Commission shall consider the preliminary subdivision plan concurrently with or subsequent to the flexible subdivision application.
4. No building permits or certificates of occupancy shall be issued for the project until the zoning application has been finally approved and the final plat is recorded in the Weber County Recorder's office, except that a developer may be issued building permits or certificates of occupancy for a flexible zoning application without filing of the final plat, if:
a. The development has received preliminary subdivision plan approval;
b. The development would constitute an allowable use under the zoning ordinances of Ogden City, Utah, without recording of the final plat;
c. The development is constructed in a manner consistent with the preliminary subdivision plan approval;
d. No public dedications of land, easements, public improvements, or parks are required under the preliminary subdivision plan; and
e. The developer is willing to proceed at his/her risk that the final plat may not be approved.
5. A flexible zoning development which did not entail the subdivision or resubdivision of land in its original application, may be subsequently subdivided or resubdivided for purposes of sale after the project plan has been finally approved and development completed or partially completed; provided that the Planning Commission shall approve the subdivision only if an amended zoning application also is approved for the flexible development plan.
