16.20.060 AMENDING A SUBDIVISION

A. Correcting Errors: If, after the approval and recording of a final plat, errors are found in the language or numbers on the recorded plat, the subdivider shall file a properly signed, corrected or revised original Mylar or linen with the Development Coordinator. The plat shall be noted "CORRECTED PLAT" under the name of the subdivision. Notations shall be made on the face of the plat listing all corrections made and the book and page numbers where the original plat was recorded. The Development Coordinator shall review the plat and approve the correction if the correction is materially in line with the approved final plat and does not violate any City ordinance. The recording of the corrected plat shall void the incorrect original plat, and the County Recorder shall note "VOID" across the face of the incorrect plat. B. Vacating a Plat: The City Council may vacate a subdivision or a portion of a subdivision by enacting an ordinance to that effect that describes the subdivision or the portion being vacated and recording that ordinance in the County Recorder's Office. This vacation shall be done in compliance with this code and Utah State Code §10-9a-608 and §10-9a-609, as amended. C. Material Amendment: 1. A fee owner of land in a platted subdivision may request a material subdivision amendment by filing a written petition with the City Council. This petition must meet all the requirements for a preliminary subdivision application specified in Chapter 16.16, with the following changes: a. The preliminary plat (or the record of survey map, if applicable) should: i. Depict only the portion of the subdivision that is proposed to be amended; ii. Include a plat name distinguishing the amended plat from the original plat; iii. Describe the differences between the amended plat and the original plat; iv. Include references to the original plat; and v. Meet all the other plat requirements specified in Section 15.25.1.8 and Utah State Code §10-9a-603. b. The petition must additionally include the name and address of each property owner affected by the petition and the signature of each of those property owners who consents to the petition. c. The petitioner must include with the petition envelopes addresses to each property in the subdivision. 2. Upon receipt of an amendment petition, the City staff shall provide notice of the petition to: a. Each affected entity listed in Section 16.20.030. The City shall not approve an amendment petition until at least 10 calendar days after noticing these utility providers. b. Each property owner in the subdivision. The City shall notify these property owners by mail. 3. The City Council shall hold a public hearing before approving an amendment petition and within 45 calendar days after the day on which the petition is submitted if: a. A property owner objects in writing to the amendment within 10 days of the City notifying the property owner by mail, or b. Not every property owner in the subdivision has signed the revised plat. 4. The City Council need not hold a public hearing if notice has been given to adjoining property owners in accordance with any applicable local ordinance and the petition seeks to: a. Join two or more of the petitioner’s contiguous lots; b. Subdivide one or more of the petitioner's lots; c. Adjust the lot lines of adjoining lots or between a lot and an adjoining parcel if the fee owners of each of the adjoining properties join in the petition, regardless of whether the properties are located in the same subdivision; d. On a lot owned by the petitioner, adjust an internal lot restriction imposed by the local political subdivision; or e. Alter the plat in a manner that does not change existing boundaries or other attributes of lots within the subdivision that are not owned by the petitioner or designated as a common area. 5. If the City Council approves the amendment petition, the City Council shall sign the amended plat, and the petitioner shall record the plat, subject to the completion or guarantee of any improvements.
