A. These regulations shall apply to all of the lands within the boundaries of the City. B. A subdivision of land is not valid unless its governing document is approved by the Land Use Authority and properly recorded in the County Recorder’s Office. C. No land shall be subdivided which is located wholly or in part in the City, except in compliance with this Title and Utah Code as adopted and amended. D. No person shall transfer ownership of a parcel of a subdivision if that subdivision has not been approved by the City in accordance with this Title. No deeds shall be recorded or property transferred until a plat has been approved and recorded in the manner prescribed herein. The description of such lot by metes and bounds shall not exempt the transaction from the provisions of this Title. E. The City shall not issue permits for any structure on a lot in a subdivision for which a plat has not been approved and recorded and improvements accepted, except that the City may issue a permit on a tract of land which is not a subdivision. F. No building permit shall be issued for construction until full compliance with all the requirements of this Title have been met. No person shall commence the physical layout or construction on the ground of a subdivision without first obtaining the approval of the City in accordance with this Title. G. No public improvements are to be installed and service shall not be provided until approval of the final plat is granted. H. No modifications shall be made to any plat of a subdivision after approval by the City except through the subdivision amendment process described in this Title. I. The City reserves the right to withhold any or all public service, including the maintenance of roads and streets from all subdivisions, parcels, or tracts where public improvements associated with the subdivision have not been accepted by the City. J. The City shall not accept, lay out, open, improve, grade, pave, curb, light, lay, or authorize water mains or sewers or connections to be laid in any street which has not been approved by the City as a public street, except for the approval of a private lane. K. No building shall be erected nor shall a building permit be issued for a building, unless the street abutting on the lot upon which such building is proposed to be placed shall have been approved by the Land Use Authority as a public street, except for the approval of a private lane. L. None of the provisions of these regulations shall be construed to require platting in any case in which subdivision plats have been made and legally recorded pursuant to any regulations previously in force; and all plats heretofore filed for record and not subsequently vacated are hereby declared valid, notwithstanding the fact that the procedures or the manner and form of acknowledgement may have been different than those prescribed by these regulations.
