11-4-2: - Subdivision application process and requirements#

The City shall not approve, nor shall a party record, any plat or other creating instrument for a new subdivision unless the party has properly applied under this Chapter and received both a preliminary approval and a final approval from the respective Land Use Authorities.

Preliminary Subdivision Application

To be considered complete, a preliminary subdivision application submittal shall include all items listed on the city-approved Preliminary Subdivision Application Submittal Checklist.at least the following elements:

A preliminary subdivision application shall expire one (1) year after its initial submittal unless an extension is granted in writing by the Zoning Administrator for no more than six (6) additional months.

Final Subdivision Application

A final subdivision application may be submitted upon the approval of the corresponding preliminary subdivision application.

To be considered complete, a final subdivision application submittal shall include all items listed on the city-approved Final Subdivision Application Submittal Checklist.

A final subdivision application shall expire six (6) months after its initial submittal unless an extension is granted in writing by the Zoning Administrator for no more than six (6) additional months.

(Adopted by Ord. 2025-01 on 6/19/2025)

11-4-3: - Notice to affected entities#

Within 15 calendar days after receiving a complete subdivision application under this Chapter, the Zoning Administrator or designee shall provide written notice of the proposed subdivision to the facility owner of any known water conveyance facility located, entirely or partially, within 100 feet of the subdivision plat.

To determine whether any water conveyance facility is located within 100 feet of a proposed subdivision, the Zoning Administrator or designee shall review information:

From the facility owner under Utah Code § 10-9a-211, using mapping-grade global positioning satellite units or digitized data from the most recent aerial photo available to the facility owner;

From the State Engineer's Inventory of Canals; or

From a licensed surveyor who has consulted with a representative of an existing water conveyance facility that services an area near the land the application concerns.

To give water conveyance facilities time to provide feedback on subdivision applications, the Land Use Authority shall not approve a preliminary (or related final) subdivision application under this Chapter sooner than 20 calendar days after the applicant submits a complete application. This waiting period does not apply to revised applications the applicant may submit during the application review process.

A water conveyance facility owner's failure to provide comments to the Land Use Authority about a subdivision application does not affect or impair the Land Use Authority's authority to approve the subdivision application.

(Adopted by Ord. 2025-01 on 6/19/2025)

11-4-4: - Review processes#

The respective Land Use Authorities shall review all subdivision applications in accordance with the requirements of this Section before approving or denying those applications.

For both preliminary and final applications, the review process begins when an applicant submits a complete application.

The Land Use Authorities shall not review an incomplete subdivision application, except to determine whether the application is complete.

If the Land Use Authorities determine that an application is incomplete, it shall notify the applicant of the incompleteness, highlighting any insufficiencies and explaining that the application will not be reviewed until it is complete.

For both preliminary and final applications, after the applicant submits a complete application, the Land Use Authorities shall review and provide feedback to the applicant in a series of "review cycles."

A review cycle consists of the following phases:

Phase #1: The applicant submits a complete application (or, if after the first cycle, submits a revised version of the complete application).

Phase #2: The Land Use Authorities review the application in detail and assess whether the application conforms to local ordinances.

Phase #3: The Land Use Authorities respond to the applicant, citing any missing requirements or areas of noncompliance and providing a detailed list of necessary revisions to the applicant. For any required modification or addition to the application or request for more information, the Land Use Authorities shall be specific and include citations to ordinances, standards, or specifications that require the modification or addition and shall provide the applicant with an index of all requested modifications or additions.

Phase #4: The applicant revises the application, addressing each comment or requirement the Land Use Authorities made. The applicant must submit both revised plans and a written explanation in response to the municipality's review comments, identifying and explaining the applicant's revisions and reasons for declining to make revisions, if any. If the applicant fails to respond to a comment made by the Land Use Authorities in its review, the review cycle is not complete and will remain open until the applicant addresses all comments.

Table A - Review Cycles, Hearings, and Timelines by Subdivision Stage

Use Type Approval Stage Max Review Cycles Max Public Hearings City Turnaround Deadline*

All Uses Preliminary 4 1 30 Business Days

Final 1 0 30 Business Days

*Describes the total time (per review cycle) the City may take to complete both Phase #2 and Phase #3 unless as described in paragraph D.3 below.

A Land Use Authority (and other City representatives or agents) shall adhere to the maximum number of review cycles and the review deadlines described in Table A, except as described below. If no further revisions are needed, a Land Use Authority may end the review process early and approve or deny the preliminary or final application.

This provision notwithstanding, for any subdivision application that affects property within an identified geological hazard area, the City is exempt from limits on the number of permitted review cycles and the City's deadlines for reviewing and responding (Phases #2 and #3).

If the applicant makes a material change to a preliminary or final application not requested by the City at any point in the review process, the Land Use Authority may restart the review process, but only with respect to the portion of the application that the material change substantively affects.

For both preliminary and final applications, if an applicant takes longer than 40 business days to submit a revised application and respond to the City's requests for modifications and additions (Phases #1 and #4), the City shall have an additional 20 business days to review and respond to the revised application (Phases #2 and #3 of the next review cycle or issuing an approval decision).

For preliminary applications, if an applicant takes longer than 180 calendar days to submit a revised application and respond to the City's requests for modifications and additions (Phases #1 and #4), the application shall, at the option of the Land Use Authority, expire. If an application expires, the applicant must restart the subdivision application process.

When a preliminary or final application's review period ends, the Land Use Authority shall approve or deny the respective preliminary or final application within 20 business days.

If the Land Use Authority has not approved or denied the application within 20 business days after the allotted review cycles are complete, the applicant may request a decision. After such a request, the municipality shall, within 10 business days:

For a dispute arising from the subdivision improvement plans, assemble an appeal panel in accordance with Utah Code §10-9a-508(5)(d) to review and approve or deny the revised set of plans; or

For a dispute arising from the subdivision ordinance review, advise the applicant, in writing, of the deficiency in the application and of the right to appeal the determination to the designated Appeal Authority.

After the Land Use Authority provides comments in the last allotted review cycle for a final application, the City shall not require further modifications or corrections to the application unless those modifications or corrections are necessary to protect public health and safety or to enforce State or federal law or unless the review cycle reset due to the applicant making a material change that the Land Use Authority did not request.

With the exception of modifications or corrections that are needed to protect public health and safety, that are needed to enforce State or federal law, or that arise from the review cycle being reset, the municipality waives noncompliant subdivision-related requirements that the Land Use Authority does not identify during the review process.

The applicant shall make reasonable changes, unless prohibited otherwise by a contract or deed, to the subdivision application to accommodate the water conveyance facility to the extent required by Utah Code § 73-1-15.5.

The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing during the review period for a preliminary subdivision application.

The purpose of these public hearings is to ask questions of the applicant and receive commentary on the technical aspects of the application from affected entities, interested parties, and the public.

The hearing must occur before the end of the Land Use Authority's preliminary review period (end of Phase #3 of the last preliminary review cycle). Scheduling issues shall not extend the review and approval deadlines in this Chapter.

The municipality shall not hold a public hearing during the review period for a final application under this Chapter.

Other Sections of this Title notwithstanding, the Land Use Authorities shall approve or deny preliminary and final applications under this Chapter after reviewing the complete applications as described in this Section.

11-4-5: - Approval#

The Land Use Authorities shall approve any complete preliminary and final applications made under this Chapter that comply with applicable municipal ordinances.

The Land Use Authorities shall issue all approvals in writing and shall certify the approved final plat, either by signing the plat directly or by attaching a signed certification to the plat.

(Adopted by Ord. 2025-01 on 6/19/2025)

11-4-6: - Post-approval actions#

The City shall record the approved final plat with the County Recorder's Office within one (1) year after the City approves the final application, provided that the applicant has completed any improvements or posted any improvement guarantee required by City ordinances or described in the approved improvement plan. The plat shall not be recorded until such improvements are completed or guaranteed in compliance with City ordinances and the approved improvement plan.

An approved final plat not properly recorded within the timeline specified in this provision is void, unless the Development Review Committee approves an extension of not more than one (1) year.

City Staff shall submit to the Utah Geospatial Resource Center, within 30 calendar days after the final application has been approved, either:

An electronic copy of the approved final plat; or

Preliminary geospatial data that depict any new streets and situs addresses proposed for construction within the bounds of the approved final plat.

Meets the minimum size requirements of applicable land use ordinances; and

Is not used and will not be used for any nonagricultural purpose.

The boundaries of each lot or parcel exempted shall be graphically illustrated on a record of survey map that, after receiving the same approvals as are required for a plat under Subdivision Applications, shall be recorded with the County Recorder.

If a lot or parcel exempted under this Section is used for a nonagricultural purpose, the municipality shall require the lot or parcel to comply with the requirements of a full plat application.

Process.

A private individual or the City itself may request an agricultural land exemption.

Whoever requests the exemption shall hereinafter be referred to as the petitioner.

The petitioner prepares the record of the survey map as explained under Requirements for Exemption.

The record of the survey map makes up the petition.

The petitioner then files the petition with the Land Use Authority.

II.

The Land Use Authority reviews the petition to ensure that it complies with the Requirements for Exemption.

III.

If the Land Use Authority finds that any of the requirements are not met, the Land Use Authority may deny the exemption in a writing, specifying its reasons for doing so.

If the petition is denied due to deficiencies which can be corrected, the petitioner may make modifications and re-petition.

If the petition is denied due to deficiencies which cannot be corrected, the petitioner should not re-petition.

If the Land Use Authority finds that all requirements are met, the Land Use Authority shall send the petition with a certificate of written approval to the City Council with a recommendation that they approve the petition.

The City Council shall approve the petition and ensure that it is recorded by the County Recorder's Office.

Documents recorded in the County Recorder's Office that divide property by a metes-and-bounds description do not create an approved subdivision under this exemption unless the Land Use Authority's certificate of written approval required for the exemption to apply is attached to the document.

The City Council shall ensure that the Land Use Authority's certificate of written approval is attached to the petition and included when the petition is recorded.

11-4-11: - Flag lot subdivisions#

General:

Purpose: Flag lot subdivisions for single-family dwellings located in an agricultural or Rural Residential zone east of Hwy 38 may be allowed to accommodate the development of land that otherwise cannot reasonably be developed under the regulations contained in this title or other titles adopted by the city. The primary purpose of allowing flag lots is not to make development of land easier and more profitable, but rather, allowance of flag lots is intended to serve as a "last resort" for land which may not otherwise be reasonably subdivided under ordinary lot development standards.

Intention: It is the intention of the City, when considering subdivisions with flag lots, to consider the future conversion of the staff portions of flag lots to a public road, specifically contiguous staffs.

General Configuration: A flag lot shall be comprised of a staff (narrow) portion that is contiguous with a flag (wide) portion. See Exhibit A for more information.

Land Use Authority: The following table outlines the Land Use Authorities:

Type of Application Reviewing Body Recommending Body Land Use Authority Appeal Authority

Preliminary Flag Lot Subdivision Development Review Committee Planning Commission City Council Hearing Officer

Final Flag Lot Subdivision Development Review Committee Planning Commission City Council Hearing Officer

Subdivision Application Process and Requirements:

The Flag Lot Subdivision Application Process and Requirements shall be the same as that described in Title 11, Chapter 4-2.

A Flag Lot Subdivision application shall be considered a special subdivision application in which the City Council may set conditions for approval as found in this chapter.

Conditions to Be Considered: When land is subdivided, flag lots shall not be approved by right but may be allowed after considering the following:

More than two (2) flag lots with contiguous staffs shall not be approved. See Exhibit A for more information.

Whether development of the property in question under otherwise applicable provisions of this title is reasonable and practical.

Creation of a flag lot shall not foreclose the possibility of future development of large adjacent interior lots unless a street can be extended to such lots from other property.

Findings Required: Flag lots shall be prohibited unless all the following findings are made:

Flag lots shall be created only from a legally created lot of record which abuts State Highway 38.

The flag portion of the flag lot shall be entirely located in an agricultural or Rural Residential zone; the flag portion shall not be split-zoned.

The developer provides written and illustrative evidence showing property development with and without proposed flag lots which demonstrates:

The design of the flag lot(s) is compatible with the design of the overall subdivision and adjacent property(ies).

No other viable subdivision design alternatives exist that will allow for a conventional lot, including consideration of:

The current, proposed, or alternative zoning;

ii.

The possibility of incorporating the subject property with adjacent property to achieve a more unified development of the area and eliminate the need for a flag lot;

iii.

Alternative street designs and improvements; and

iv.

Any other reasonable means that would render a flag lot unnecessary.

Access to the flag lot is provided through the staff portion of the lot.

The viability of future expansion and extension of the staff into a future public street right of way.

Development Standards:

Flag lot subdivisions shall contain no more than two (2) lots.

The staff portion of a flag lot shall:

Front on and be contiguous to State Highway 38 right of way;

Be straight with a uniform width of thirty (30) feet, minimum, or if contiguous with an existing staff, be of such width to make a combined total uniform width of sixty (60) feet;

Be used only for ingress/egress with no structures or buildings erected within the staff portion; and

Be improved with a hard surface such as concrete, asphalt, or compacted road base with an approved dust prevention treatment, capable of meeting fire code requirements.

The flag portion of a flag lot shall:

Conform to the minimum lot size requirement of the zone where the flag portion is located; and

Contain sufficient turnaround space for emergency vehicles near the buildable area on the lot, sufficient to meet fire code requirements.

The front yard of a flag lot shall be on the side of the flag portion which connects to the staff. Yard setbacks shall conform to the setback requirements of the zone in which the flag portion of the flag lot is located.

Fire Protection: A main building shall be located not more than 300 feet from a fire hydrant, as measured along the highway right of way and/or along the staff portion of a flag lot.
