Puirpose, AppIllicalb111111ty, and Ilf;; °ff f <br />(a) Purpose. The purpose of a Subdivision Concept Plat shall be to delineate the sequence and timing of development <br />within a proposed subdivision, where the tract to be developed is part of a larger parcel of land owned or controlled <br />by the applicant, in order to determine compliance with the City Mast ve Plan and the availability and <br />capacity of public improvements needed for the subdivision and the larger parcel. <br />(b) Applicability. <br />(1) A Subdivision Concept Plat shall be required for any division of land where proposed development of the tract is <br />to occur in phases. A Subdivision Concept Plat may not be accepted for filing if the land subject to the plat <br />exceeds 300 acres for single - family residential developments, or 100 acres for other types of developments. <br />Nonresidential and residential mixed -use developments shall not exceed 400 total acres. Phasing for the <br />Subdivision Concept Plat shall be for a time period of five years. If the land subject to the Subdivision Concept <br />Plat is part of a larger parcel, the remaining land shall be shown as a remainder tract, but shall not be included <br />within the Subdivision Concept Plat. <br />(2) A Subdivision Concept Plat also shall be required for land in a Planned Development (PD) zoning district. <br />(c) Effect. Approval of a Subdivision Concept Plat authorizes the subdivider to submit a Preliminary Subdivision Plat or <br />Preliminary Development Plat application for each phase of development shown on the plat, subject to the schedule <br />of development approved for the land. Once a Subdivision Concept Plat has been approved, all plats approved <br />thereafter for the same land shall be consistent with the Subdivision Concept Plat for so long as the Subdivision <br />Concept Plat remains in effect. Minor variations, such as slight shifts in lot lines or street layouts, between the <br />Subdivision Concept Plat and the subsequent plat application(s) shall be permitted, however, in no case shall <br />variations increase the intensity, density, number of units, and /or impervious cover of the proposed development. <br />(0i- ",ins 200 5 78 § ° 10 18 0s5) <br />Section 1...6...2...2 ,,. Sequence of Approvals <br />(a) Prior Approvals Required.

If an application is submitted for approval of a Subdivision Concept Plat, the application shall <br />be decided before any Preliminary Subdivision Plat or Preliminary Development Plat application for the same land. <br />(c) Accompanying Applications. <br />(1) An application for a Subdivision Concept Plat may be accompanied by an application for Preliminary Subdivision <br />Plat or Preliminary Development Plat approval for the first phase of the subdivision, provided that the <br />Subdivision Concept Plat application must be decided first, except as provided in subsection (c)(2) below. <br />(2) An application for a Subdivision Concept Plat may be accompanied by an application for rezoning approval.
