17.27.010 Preliminary master plan.
Following presentation of a concept plan to the Planning Commission, the applicant may proceed with submitting a preliminary master plan. A master plan is required for any subdivisions with phased development (the approval and recording of separate final plats for each individual phase over time). These preliminary master plan requirements are the minimum. Other information may be required by the Planning Commission or as the need dictates. (Ord. 2021-13 § 1 (Exh. A), 2021.)
17.27.020 General.
The preliminary master plan shall be prepared by a land surveyor or engineer, licensed to practice in the state of Utah. The applicant shall supply the City with a PDF file of the preliminary master plan, along with a completed application, at least two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission.
A master plan request must demonstrate that approval of the project in multiple phases can occur such that the project can still function autonomously if subsequent phases are not completed. Therefore, the master plan application must demonstrate that sufficient property, water rights, roads, sensitive lands protection, and open space are proposed with the first phase to allow the project to function without subsequent phases. (Ord. 2021-13 § 1 (Exh. A), 2021.)
17.27.030 Features to be shown on preliminary master plan.
The following list of features is intended to be as complete as possible. However, the applicant is responsible to include all features required by this title or FCC Title 18, the Planning Commission or City staff on the preliminary master plan whether included in this list or not. Failure to show any feature required by this title or FCC Title 18, the Planning Commission or City staff may result in denial of the plan.
The preliminary master plan shall, at a minimum, show the following:
1. The date of the map, approximate true north point, scale, and name of the subdivision.
2. The location of property with respect to surrounding property and streets, the names of adjoining streets, and the location and dimensions of all boundary lines of the property.
3. The location of existing streets, easements, wetlands, water bodies, rivers, water sources, streams, irrigation systems and other pertinent features such as swamps, buildings, parks, cemeteries, drainage or irrigation ditches, bridges, or other features as determined by the Planning Commission and City Council.
4. The location and width of all existing and proposed streets and easements, alleys, trails, and other public ways, and easement and proposed street rights-of-way. Proposed street names are optional.
5. The location of all proposed lots with lots numbered and approximate acreage or square footage of each lot. All lots in each block shall be consecutively numbered.
6. The location of all property proposed to be set aside for park or playground use, trails, or other public or private reservations and open space dedications.
7. Phasing plan of proposed lots (generally color-coded on map), construction sequence, and expected timeline of phasing.
8. Explanation of drainage and site easements, if any.
9. All utility facilities existing and proposed throughout the subdivision.
10. Indication of the nearest location of all public and private utilities.
11. Indication of all slopes greater than 25 percent.
12. The location and actual setbacks of existing structures within the preliminary plan boundaries, and a notation as to whether the existing structures will remain or be demolished.
13. A table which details the density calculations for the plan, to include total acreage of plan, total acreage of lots, total acreage of streets, total acreage of open space, etc. and percentages of these items to the total acreage. (Ord. 2021-13 § 1 (Exh. A), 2021.)
17.27.040 Planning Commission preliminary master plan approval.
After the Planning Commission has reviewed the preliminary master plan, City staff report, and any City recommendations, the applicant shall be advised of any required conditions, changes, or additions to gain approval of the preliminary master plan.
The Planning Commission shall not approve any preliminary master plan until all review fees have been paid in full according to the fee schedule.
An approval of the preliminary master plan by the Planning Commission is in no way meant to be final approval. Until the final plat of a subdivision has been approved by the City Council, the Council, Planning Commission, and City staff may continue to review the subdivision for compliance with this title or FCC Title 18. (Ord. 2021-13 § 1 (Exh. A), 2021.)
