The <br />administrative subdivision by simple plat and lot split procedures are not intended to be substitutes <br />for the standard platting process set forth in the Code. Under these criteria, you have applied for a <br />lot split, pursuant to Section 30-391 of the City Code. I provide the City Council with a <br />recommendation of an application, based on a careful review of the applicable ordinances. <br />Following is the results of my review. <br />In order to approve a subdivision, including a lot split, the City Council must make the following <br />findings under Section 30-375 of the City Code: <br />Sec. 30-375. -Required findings. <br />The findings necessary fox city council approval of the preliminary plat and the final <br />plat shall be as follows: <br />(1) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning regulations (article <br />VI of this chapter) and conforms in all respects with all requirements of this <br />Code, including the zoning regulations and this article. <br />(2) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable general and <br />specialized city, county, and regional plans, including, but not limited to, the <br />city's comprehensive development plan. <br />(3) The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to <br />topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, <br />susceptibility to flooding, and drainage are suitable for the type and density <br />of development and uses contemplated. <br />(4) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision fox water supply, storm <br />drainage, sewage transportation, erosion control and all other seances, <br />facilities and improvements otherwise required in this article. <br />(5) The proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage. <br />
