§ 153-16 Preliminary Plat Process.
   (A)   The applicant shall prepare a preliminary plat that includes all applicable information required in Yuma City Code §§ 153-31(A) and 153-47.
   (B)   Three sets of the preliminary plat, or one electronic copy of the preliminary plat, and supplementary material as specified, shall be submitted to the Department of Planning and Neighborhood Services. One AutoCAD file of the plat that conforms to the City of Yuma CADD standards shall be submitted electronically.
   (C)   At the time of submittal of all required preliminary plat and necessary supplemental materials to the Department of Planning and Neighborhood Services, a public hearing date with the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be scheduled in accordance with the Case Review Hearing Deadlines calendar for the year. Generally, public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission occur within 60 days of application submittal. At the public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall express its approval or disapproval of the proposed preliminary plat. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall state the conditions of such approval, if any, or if disapproved, shall express the reasons for the disapproval.
   (D)   Conditional approval of a preliminary plat shall not constitute approval of the final plat. Rather, conditional approval shall be deemed an expression of approval to the subdivision layout, road alignments and numbers of lots submitted on the preliminary plat as a guide to the preparation of the final plat. The final plat shall be processed in accordance with the requirements of Yuma City Code §§ 153-45, 153-46, 153-47, 153-50 and 153-51 of this code.
   (E)   The recording of a phase of the preliminary plat automatically extends the approval of the preliminary plat for an additional three years from the date of recording. The maximum time period a preliminary plat may be approved without a final plat submittal is six years.
