Subdivision: Nonstandard
What is a nonstandard subdivision?
The proposed subdivision of land for purposes other than individual residential lot development including: (1) facilities such as utility substation sites, meter vaults, pump station sites, sign lots, etc.; (2) cemetery plots; (3) designated open space or common area sites; and/or (4) any other subdivision of land which is not otherwise designated by LDC Article III.
Nonstandard subdivisions are exempt from the final plat requirements of the LDC and require plat approval only. Nonstandard subdivision lots may be approved in conjunction with a minor subdivision, major subdivision, or special subdivision upon submission of a plat. Plats must:
- Describe the nonstandard subdivision;
- Contain a statement describing the use of each lot and that each lot shall not be used for residential or commercial purposes and;
- Clearly depict and/or reference a platted or deeded right-of-way that connects the proposed lots and remaining parcels to a public road.
Approval Process
The Subdivision Administrator can approve the nonstandard subdivision plat (provided that it meets the requirements of the Land Development Code). The signed plat must then be recorded at the Register of Deeds Office.
Zoning and Water Supply Watershed regulations apply to exempt subdivisions.
