16.03.020 CONCEPT PLAN

To promote efficiency and an understanding of the subdivision review and approval process of Cache County and to allow applicants to present their initial subdivision proposals to the county, all applicants for subdivision approval may present a concept plan of the proposed subdivision to the director of development services. This process is not required, but it is highly recommended. A. The conceptual development plan is an informal discussion document designed to allow the identification of policies, procedures, standards and other items that may be considered in the subdivision review and approval processes of Cache County once a subdivision application is received. To achieve these objectives and to promote the identification of all items necessary for consideration, the applicant should provide at a minimum a map, plat, and/or other scale drawing of the area. The following applicable information may also be submitted to provide further information on the nature and intent of the subdivision: 1. The configuration, size and number of lots in the proposed development; 2. Potential locations of hazards and sensitive lands as defined by title 17,chapter 17.18, "Sensitive Areas", of this code or other features which may impose peculiar construction requirements; 3. Potential open space; 4. The way in which the proposed development will fit into the context of the surrounding area; 5. The present and planned surrounding roads and utilities; 6. Access points and limiting of access, if required; 7. Existing and proposed trail system; 8. The anticipated time schedule for the development; 9. Plans and needs for water, sewer, roads, and sanitation disposal; 10. The development method that will be used, the total acreage involved, the number of allowable lots and the number of planned lots; 11. Any planned phasing or future development of adjacent land; 12. Any other information available or pertinent to the proposed subdivision or as required by the director. B. A conceptual development plan shall not constitute an application for subdivision approval, as provided by this title, and is in no way binding on the county or the applicant. Any discussion that occurs at the concept plan phase shall not be considered as an indication of subdivision approval or denial, either actual or implied. C. The director shall determine if a concept plan has sufficient detail and meets the basic requirements of this title and the zoning ordinance prior to presenting any concept plan to the planning commission.
