Title
Amend City Code - Section 32-24 Information Required For Final Plat Submittal (Ordinance G-6989)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager to amend section 32-24 of the City Code as it relates to the method and medium of presentation for final plat submittals.
Report
The intent of this code amendment is to take advantage of new technologies to simplify the plat submittal process and reduce costs to customers to submit final plats to the Planning and Development Department for review and approval. The current code requires plats to be submitted on linen, plastic or other non-shrinking material. The sole purpose of the requirement was to guarantee the physical longevity of the plat for record keeping purposes. This is no longer required, as plat records are now stored digitally and can be scanned from paper or uploaded from digital files. The proposed code change will align the plat submittal process with current industry standards.
Department policy documents providing plat submittal requirements will be updated upon the passage of the requested code amendment. The specific recommended code amendment is reflected in Attachment A.
Concurrence
The Development Advisory Board recommended approval of the amendment at its Jan. 20, 2022 meeting.
Financial Impact
There are no costs associated with this code amendment.
