A.

An application for a subdivision and required plat approval shall be submitted in accordance with Article 2, "Common Development Application Elements", of this chapter and as specifically identified in subsections below.

For the purposes of all requested subdivisions of land which would result in three (3) or more parcels, a Conditional Use Permit shall be required which incorporates a site plan review (if otherwise required).

All new plats shall require paved Rights-of-Way, unless otherwise approved, and must provide adequate utility services as later described in this article, including water, electric, stormwater, and wastewater. A building permit may be issued for construction of a building concurrently with the installation of required street improvements, but no such permit shall express or imply any right of occupancy and use of such building until the installation of such street improvements has been completed to the satisfaction of the City.
