106-1-8.030 Final Plat Approval Process

1. Final subdivision approval. After the applicable staff and agency reviews, the final plat shall be presented to the Land Use Authority. The Land Use Authority shall review the final plat to verify compliance with applicable ordinances. After determining compliance with applicable ordinances, or determining compliance after adding conditions of approval to ensure compliance with applicable laws, the Land Use Authority shall approve the final plat. If applicable, when considering conditions of approval, the Land Use Authority shall follow the decision requirements found in Section 108-4-4 of this Land Use Code, and the conditional use standards found in Section 108-4-5. A decision on a subdivision that includes conditions of approval shall not constitute a conditional use or require a conditional use permit. 2. Land Use Authority designated. The Administrative Land Use Authority for final plat approval is the City Planning Division Director. 3. Submittal of final plat and final improvement plans. After approval of the final plat, the applicant shall submit a final plat printed on a 24-inch by 36-inch mylar sheet that includes the required signatures of all non-city employees. With the mylar, the applicant shall submit final improvement plans to the City Engineer for final approval, pursuant to Title 106, Chapter 4. After the final plat mylar has all required official approval signatures, and after the final improvement plans have received final approval by the City Engineer, the final plat may be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder, at the expense of the applicant. 4. Tax clearance. The city may withhold an otherwise valid plat approval until the owner of the land provides a tax clearance letter indicating that all taxes, interest, and penalties owing on the land have been paid. 5. Record of survey. A copy of the subdivision mylar shall be filed as a record of survey in the county surveyor's Office, prior to the City Surveyor signing the dedication plat.
