16.10.060 Partial development.
When the property to be subdivided contains only part of the tract owned or controlled by the applicant, the city may require a development plan of a layout for streets, numbered lots, blocks, phases of development, and other improvements in the undivided portion, indicating inter-relationship with the portion sought to be divided. The city shall have authority to require that any adjacent parcel or parcels owned or controlled by the applicant but not included in the proposed subdivision boundaries be included in the development whenever inclusion of such parcel or parcels would be an appropriate extension of the development and in the best interests of the public, considering the development plan and the relationship between the surrounding area and the area of proposed development. (Ord. 1662 §1, 1991; Ord. 1650(part), 1990).
16.10.070 Explanatory information.
Any of the following information may be required by the city and if it cannot be shown practicably on the tentative plan, it shall be submitted in separate statements accompanying the tentative plan:

16.10.080 Tentative plan approval.
A. Approval of the tentative plan shall not constitute final acceptance of the final plat of the proposed subdivision or partition for recording; however, approval of the tentative plan shall be binding upon city for the purpose of the approval of the final plat if the final plat is in substantial compliance with the tentative plan and any conditions of approval thereof. A tentative plan approval shall expire and become void one year from the date on which it was issued unless the final plat has been approved pursuant to Chapter 16.12 or an application for extension is filed and approved subject to the requirements of Section 16.10.100 and Chapter 17.05.
B. When it is the intent to develop a tentative plan and record a final plat in phases, the city, at the time of tentative plat approval, may authorize a time schedule for platting the various phases in periods exceeding one year, but in no case shall the total time period for platting all phases be greater than five years without review of the tentative plan for compliance with the current code and comprehensive plan. Each phase so platted shall conform to the applicable requirements of this chapter. Phases platted after the passage of one year from approval of the tentative plan will be required to modify the tentative plan as necessary to avoid conflicts with changes in the comprehensive plan or this chapter. (Ord. 1941 §12, 2010; Ord. 1650(part), 1990).
16.10.090 Conditions on tentative plan approval.
The city may attach to any tentative plan approval given under this chapter specific conditions deemed necessary in the interests of the public health, safety or welfare, including but not limited to the following:
A. Construction and installation of any on-site or off-site improvements, including but not limited to sidewalks, curbs, gutters, streets, street signs and street lights, traffic control signs and signals, water, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, and park and recreation improvements. In requiring off-site improvements, the city shall find that said improvements are reasonably related to the development and would serve a public purpose such as mitigating negative impacts of the proposed development.
All improvements required under this subsection shall be made at the expense of the applicant, and shall conform to the provisions of the Standard Specifications and Uniform Standard Details for Public Works Construction in the City of Central Point, Oregon, however, the city, in its discretion, may modify such standards and determine site-specific design, engineering and construction specifications when appropriate in the particular development;
B. An agreement by the owner of the property to waive, on his or her behalf, and on behalf of all future owners of the land, any objection to the formation of a local improvement district which may be formed in the future to provide any of the improvements specified in subsection A of this section;
C. An agreement by the owner of the property to enter into a written deferred improvement agreement, providing that one or more of the improvements specified in subsection A of this section shall be made by the owner at some future time to be determined by the city;
D. Any agreement entered into pursuant to subsections B or C of this section shall be recorded in the county recorder’s office and shall be intended to thereafter run with the land, so as to bind future owners of the lands affected. Any and all recording costs shall be borne by the applicant;
E. Any other conditions deemed by the city to be reasonable and necessary in the interests of the public health, safety or welfare. (Ord. 1684 §7, 1993; Ord. 1662 §2, 1991).
16.10.100 Extension.

a. Denied; or
b. At the discretion of the community development director re-reviewed as a modification per Section 17.09.300;
3. The extension request is made before expiration of the original approved plan.
