Classification. For purposes of this Chapter, subdivisions are classified as either major or minor.
Table 5-1 indicates which subdivisions are classified major or minor. See
Table 5-1.
Applicability. Major and minor subdivisions are subject to the standards set forth in this Chapter for approval of subdivision plats.
Determination by Administrator.
The Administrator, as part of the completeness review, shall determine whether a proposed subdivision constitutes a minor or major subdivision and notify the applicant of the classification when the applicant is notified of the decision concerning completeness review.
Review Procedures.
Separate procedures are prescribed for review of major and minor subdivisions in
Table 4-1 to reflect differing levels of complexity in the applications. Before any land is subdivided, the applicant shall apply for and secure approval of the proposed subdivision in accordance with the following procedures:
Major Subdivision:
In the case of major subdivisions, the procedure shall include two principal steps: (i) preliminary plat approval and (ii) final plat approval. In addition to the above, all major subdivisions creating more than 24 lots and any phased major subdivision shall be required to submit a conceptual plan.
Minor Subdivision.
In the case of minor subdivisions creating no more than five (5) lots, the procedure shall include administrative approval of the final plat in a single step known as summary review. The final plat for minor subdivisions creating over five (5) lots will be approved by the Board. Preliminary plat review is not required for minor subdivisions.
