(A) After receiving the recommendation of the Chief Subdivision Engineer, the Planning and Zoning Commission must review and consider the preliminary plat. A preliminary plat may not be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission until the Chief Subdivision Engineer has determined that the preliminary plat complies with all county regulations. If, because of noncompliance or the applicant’s inaction, a preliminary plat cannot be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission within six months of the date that a complete application is filed, the application will be considered withdrawn. The Chief Subdivision Engineer is authorized to grant a one-time extension of the six-month timeframe based on a determination that the applicant is diligently pursuing preliminary plat approval.
(B) As soon as possible after a preliminary plat is forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission must act by simple majority vote to recommend that the preliminary plat be approved, approved with conditions or disapproved, based on the approval criteria of § 154.358.
