12-4-1: PURPOSE; COMPATIBILITY:
   A.   It is the purpose of this chapter to specify the nature of improvements which shall be required in conjunction with the subdividing and development of land; to identify the methods which will assure the city and the public that said required improvements will be accomplished; and further to prohibit the issuance of a building permit for construction within a recorded platted subdivision prior to completion and city acceptance of all required off site improvements within the subdivision. (For specific improvement construction specifications, refer to appendix A attached to ordinance 5157 on file in the office of the city clerk.)
   B.   The development plan for required off site improvements shall be approved by the city only after it is found that a proposed development, when considered in conjunction with the entire subdivision and the areas surrounding or adjacent to it, will contain public utilities and improvements which will be consistent, compatible, and homogeneous with, and will constitute logical and orderly extensions of, existing public improvements, as well as future improvements to be installed within and without the boundaries of the subdivision. (Ord. 5157, 8-10-1981)
