(a)

Required. A person commits an offense if he divides any tract of land into two or more parts, adjusts a lot or tract boundary, consolidates two or more lots or tracts of land, and/or develops land without approval of the appropriate plat and receipt of a permit to develop from the city.

(b)

Application procedures. The developer shall submit an application for the permit on standard forms provided by the city. For purposes of this section, the application for preliminary plat approval (see section 14-55(1)) or application for approval of a boundary line adjustment (see section 14-56(a)) shall be considered an application for a development permit. The permit shall be effective for two years; provided, however, that approval may be automatically extended at one-year intervals if development is occurring in a timely manner.
