The planning of attractive and functional neighborhoods shall be promoted, minimizing the undesirable features of unplanned, haphazard growth.
The Planning Commission has the responsibility of reviewing the design of each future subdivision early in its design development. The Planning Commission shall ensure that all the requirements of this section and the City of Urbana Design Criteria and Construction Standards and Drawings are met. (Ord. 4206. Passed 1-24-06.)
