Galesburg City Zoning Code
SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
GENERALLY
§ 152.245 PURPOSE.
Because each new subdivision accepted by the city becomes a permanent unit in the basic physical structure of the community, all subdivisions hereafter planned within the incorporated limits of the city and within the unincorporated area lying within one and one-half miles beyond the corporate limits shall, in all respects, be in full compliance with the regulations hereinafter contained in this DO. These regulations are designed to provide for the orderly and harmonious development of the city; for the coordination of streets within new subdivisions with other existing or planned streets; and to secure a uniform system of utilities and services.
(Ord. 10-3277, § 4-1.1, passed 1-4-2010)
§ 152.246 EXCEPTIONS.
Whenever the tract to be subdivided is of such unusual configuration or is surrounded by development or unusual conditions that the strict application of the requirements contained in this subchapter would result in real difficulties or substantial hardship or injustice, the City Council, after recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, may vary or modify the requirements so that the subdivider may develop the property in a reasonable manner, but so that at the same time, the public welfare and interests of the city and surrounding area are protected and the general intent and spirit of this subchapter preserved.
(Ord. 10-3277, § 4-1.2, passed 1-4-2010)
