11-4-3 Final Plat

A. Purpose: To provide formal review and approval of the proposed subdivision by the DRC before a subdivision plat is recorded. The final plat and construction plans submitted shall conform in all respects to those regulations and requirements specified during the preliminary plat procedure. B. Final Plat Review Process: 1. The DRC shall review the final plat and construction plans and determine compliance with all standards and criteria set forth in this ordinance and all other applicable ordinances of the city and the state of Utah. 2. If the DRC determines that the final plat is in conformity with the requirements of this Title, other applicable ordinances, and any reasonable conditions, that all fees have been paid as required, and that the city is satisfied with the final plat of the subdivision, it may approve the final plat. 3. If the DRC determines that the final plat is not in conformity with this title or other applicable ordinances, it may disapprove the final plat specifying the reasons for such disapproval. No final plat shall have any force or effect unless the same has been approved by the DRC, and signed by the city engineer, city attorney, and the mayor. C. The Review Cycle is Capped: 1. A maximum of three review cycles is permitted during the final plat review process. A review cycle is not considered complete until the applicant has adequately addressed all redlines identified by the municipality. The city may only add new redlines after the first review cycle in response to changes made by the applicant or if a correction is necessary to protect public health or safety, or to enforce state or federal law. 2. The DRC shall complete a review of the plat within forty (40) business days per review cycle after it is submitted for review. If the final plat complies, the city engineer shall sign the plat in the appropriate signature block. If the final plat or the construction plans do not comply, they shall be returned to the developer with comment. (1-2025, 3-18-25) D.
