Title 18 - Unified Development Ordinance

18.460.005 Statement of Intent

It is the intent of this chapter to create standards for the platting and subdividing of land that will yield: (1) an accurate and easily accessible public record of parcel and easement boundaries; and (2) a logical and efficient pattern of lots, blocks, easements and rights-of-way. The requirements for platting are intended to result in: (1) a highly accurate description of parcel, easement and right-of-way boundaries; (2) a public record format that is easily accessible and readily understandable; and (3) an approval process that includes an opportunity for public review and comment. The requirements for the subdividing of land are intended to result in: (1) a logical pattern of lots and blocks that are appropriately sized and shaped for the range of uses for which they are zoned; (2) an efficient pattern of streets which provide safe and convenient access to each parcel and reasonable connections between adjacent subdivisions; and (3) a well-built and consistent set of public improvements designed to serve the needs of the platted area in a safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing manner.
