Summary Review
Applicability.
All minor subdivisions creating no more than five (5) lots are subject to summary review, the procedures for which are set forth in Table 4-1. and this Section. While summary review involves review of a final plat by the Administrator (no preliminary plat required), these subdivisions still shall comply with all requirements of the SLDC including the requirements and submittals imposed on both preliminary and final plats.

Grant of Authority.
Pursuant to NMSA 1978, section 47-6-11(M), the Board hereby delegates its approval authority for minor subdivisions to the Administrator.

Subdivision Approval Standards and Requirements.
The Administrator shall not approve or conditionally approve an application for minor subdivision unless it is determined that:
 
The minor subdivision plat conforms to the final plat requirements of § 5.8.4 Final Plat Requirements;
The applicant can fulfill the proposals contained in the subdivision disclosure statement required by § 5.13: REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO SALE, LEASE OR OTHER CONVEYANCE; and
The subdivision conforms with the New Mexico Subdivision Act and the applicable provisions of the SLDC.
 
Timing.
A final plat for minor subdivision shall be approved or disapproved within thirty (30) days of the application being deemed complete by the Administrator. If the Administrator does not act on the minor subdivision plat application within the required period of time, the applicant shall give the Administrator written notice of his failure to act. If the Administrator fails to approve or reject the minor subdivision plat within thirty (30) days after that notice, the Administrator shall, upon written demand from the applicant, issue a certificate stating that the minor subdivision plat has been approved.
