14-4-118 SUBDIVISION AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCEDURE FOR THE R-F SUBZONE

A. Any proposed subdivision shall require conditional use approval from the Planning Commission. B. Any subdivision application, including planned developments, shall include plats and/or site plans drawn to a scale of not less than one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100') with topographical contours drawn at two (2) foot intervals. Furthermore, all subdivision plats and site plans shall be drawn to scale by a registered land surveyor licensed to practice in the State of Utah. Said plans and plats shall provide the following information: 1. Location of the proposed subdivision, with identification of abutting streets. 2. Topographic contours. 3. An estimate of the average slope of the proposed subdivision and of each individual lot within the subdivision. 4. The number of lots. 5. The location and size of proposed lots. 6. Location, width, and grade of all proposed streets and radii of any cul-desacs. 7. Location of existing or proposed schools, churches or parks. C. The following information, in addition to any other information required by City Code, shall be provided. For a project of less than five (5) total acres, the City Council may accept reports conducted on adjacent properties, if the City Engineer determines that they are applicable to the subject area. 1. Report of Soil Characteristics. The term “soil characteristics” refers to data regarding the nature, distribution, and strength of soils within the project area. A Soils Report shall include: a. Unified classification of all soils with an estimate of susceptibility to erosion, plasticity index, liquid limit, shrink-swell potential and general suitability for development. b. Estimate of the normal highest elevation of the seasonal high water table. c. Flood history and potential including proximity to known floor plain areas and drainage channels. d. Topographic contours. 2. Report of Geologic Conditions. A Geologic Conditions Report shall include the following information: a. Definition of any zones of deformation with respect to active faults and other mass movements of soil and rock. b. Identification of anomalies of the terrain or characteristics of the geological materials which would have any potential impact upon the use of the site. c. Determination of ground water characteristics. d. Written recommendation for construction of proposed improvements to avoid impact of any potential geologic hazard. 3. Grading and Drainage Report. a. The application for preliminary approval shall include a plan for grading and a report on the method by which surface water and natural drainage will be accompanied. The plan shall be prepared by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of Utah, and shall include the following information: i. Indication of existing and proposed contours. ii. Indication of the present and proposed slope of each graded area. iii. Location and identification (by species) of existing vegetation, and an indication of vegetation proposed for removal and re-vegetation proposal. iv. Existing and proposed drainage patterns. Location of any drainage channels on the proposed site that have been identified by the State Geologist. v. Location and depth of all proposed fills and cuts. vi. Description of the methods to be employed to achieve stabilization and compaction. vii. Location and capacities of proposed drainage, structures, and erosion control measures. viii. Computation of maximum runoff for a twenty-five year storm before and after development. ix. Location of existing buildings or structures on the site and location of existing buildings and structures on adjacent properties within one hundred (100) feet of the site, or which may be affected by any proposed grading or construction operations. x. Verification of the existence and location of a six thousand (6,000) square foot building pad with required access to it. 4. The City Council and Planning Commission may attach such conditions as deemed necessary to secure the purposes as set forth in this Chapter. D. No construction, excavation, grading or removal of vegetation may occur until final subdivision approval has been granted by the City Council and specific site developments have been approved by the City Engineer. Furthermore, individual lots or parcels may not be disturbed until a building permit has been issued for that lot or parcel.
