13.12.010 CONCEPT PLAN: Concept Plan; Requirements For Submission

To promote efficiency in the subdivision review and approval processes of Sanpete County, and to allow applicants the opportunity to present their initial subdivision proposals to the County, all applicants shall present a concept plan of the proposed subdivision to the Zoning Administrator. The purpose of concept plan review is to allow an informal discussion to occur between the applicant and relevant County staff at a conceptual plan review meeting, which is designed to allow for the identification of County policies, issues, application procedures, standards and other items that may need to be considered in the subdivision review process once a formal application is received. At the applicant’s request, the conceptual plan review may be conducted in conjunction with the Planning Commission during a regularly scheduled public meeting. The concept plan submittal shall not constitute an application for subdivision approval, as provided and required by this title, and is in no way binding on the County or the applicant. Any discussion that occurs at the conceptual plan review meeting shall not be considered any indication of subdivision approval or disapproval, either actual or implied. Once concept plan recommendations have been provided to the applicant by the Zoning Administrator, the applicant may apply for preliminary plan approval consistent with the submitted concept plan and recommendations received. In the event a conceptual plan is substantially modified by the applicant (as evidenced by the submission of a preliminary plan) the Zoning Administrator may deny the acceptance of the preliminary plan application and require the developer to resubmit for concept plan review. If preliminary plan approval for any portion of a reviewed concept plan has not been obtained within one (1) year from the date on which the concept plan was reviewed, the resubmittal of the concept plan may be required by the Zoning Administrator.
