(a) Following the official adoption of these regulations, no land shall be subdivided without complying with the provisions of these regulations with the exception of certain modifications allowed for planned unit development. Building setbacks, yard area requirements, pedestrian walkways, and thoroughfare requirements may be modified by the Planning Commission to the extent that such planned unit development will contribute to the orderly, efficient and economical development of the Municipality.
(b) No statement above modifying the substantive requirements under these regulations shall be construed to exempt a developer from the procedural requirements of subdivision plat approval as outlined in Chapters 1105 and 1109.
(c) Where a subdivider requests approval in parts of land proposed to be subdivided in several stages over a period of years, he should submit at the time of the pre-application conference a Concept Plan with appropriate sectioning for the entire tract to be eventually developed. This Concept Plan should demonstrate to the Planning Commission that the total design as proposed for the entire subdivision is acceptable under the terms of these regulations. The Planning Commission may give preliminary approval to the Concept Plan and subsequently formal approval to the preliminary and final plats for the various sections as submitted to the City in accordance with the administrative procedures specified in Chapters 1105 and 1109.
(d) No lot, tract, or parcel of land within any subdivision shall be offered for sale nor shall any sale be completed until such subdivision plats have been properly reviewed and officially approved by the Planning Commission and recorded in the County Recorder's office.
(e) No improvements, such as sidewalks, water supply, wastewater facilities, storm water drainage, gas and electric service, or street paving/surfacing/lighting, shall be made within any subdivision by any subdivider until the preliminary and final plats for the subdivision and the construction drawings have been properly reviewed by the Enforcement Officer, City Manager and officially approved by the Planning Commission and until the subdivider has entered into a Subdivider's Agreement with Council. Preliminary or rough grading may be permitted in advance of the formal approval of the final plat and construction drawings, provided that such grading does not impair or alter drainage or create an adverse impact on adjacent property.
