The legislation requires municipalities and counties to administratively approve plats with no <br />further action or approval by the governing body. Further, the legislation requires jurisdictions to <br />designate an administrative official to receive, review, and process the plat applications, as well as <br />designate an administrative official responsible for approving, approving with conditions, or denying the <br />plat application. Finally, the legislation requires certain procedures and timelines for review, processing, <br />and approval or denial of the plat application. <br />The proposed ordinance implements these requirements by designating the Planning & Zoning Director <br />as the administrative official to receive, review, and process a plat application, and designating the City <br />Manager as the administrative official to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. The <br />ordinance also requires timely written notification to applicants and formal written findings for any <br />denial. <br />Item Number: 8.A <br />14 <br />
