4.

The existing and proposed Public Improvements shall conform to the Roadways and Functional Classifications in the General Plan, designated City Road Profiles, the Official Land Use Map, the International Construction Codes, the 2017 American Public Works Association Manual of Standard Plans, Utah Chapter (as further specified in this Chapter) and the capital budget and program of the City.

C.

Authority.

1.

The Planning Commission is the land use authority to review, approve, and deny Plats for subdividing land or platting a legal Development Lot within the corporate limits of the City.

2.

The Planning Commission is the land use authority to approve Development in Subdivisions, Subdivision amendments, or Parcel Boundary Line or Lot Line Adjustments of land already recorded in the office of the County Recorder.

3.

A Plat, Subdivision, Subdivision amendment, or Parcel Boundary Line or Lot Line Adjustment is void if the Plat, Subdivision, Subdivision amendment, Parcel Boundary Line or Lot Line Adjustment has not been recorded, or has been recorded with the County Recorder's office without a prior approval by the Planning Commission and signature by the Planning Commission Chair, or in the case of a Parcel Boundary Line or Lot Line Adjustment, without prior written approval by the Community Development Director.

4.

A transfer of land that has not properly been subdivided, amended, or adjusted is voidable.

(Ord. No. 2020-02, § IV(Exh. C), 1-8-2020; Ord. No. 2022-08, § I(Exh. A), 4-13-2022; Ord. No. 2023-27, § 1(Exh. A), 9-12-2023)

A.

Interpretation. The provisions of these regulations are the minimum requirements for the promotion and preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare.

B.

Conflict with public and private provisions.

1.

Public provisions. Where any provision of these regulations imposes a restriction different from that imposed by any other provision of these regulations or any other ordinance, rule or regulation, or other provision of law, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose a higher standard to protect the public health, safety, and welfare shall control.

2.

Private provisions. Where the provisions of these regulations are more restrictive or impose higher standards or regulations than a private easement, covenant, or other private agreement or restriction, the requirements of these regulations shall govern. The City does not enforce private covenants.

(Ord. No. 2020-02, § IV(Exh. C), 1-8-2020; Ord. No. 2023-27, § 1(Exh. A), 9-12-2023)

The Planning Commission may consider and resolve at a public hearing any proposed alteration or amendment of a Subdivision Plat, or Lot, including any proposed alteration to any Street, easement, or Alley that has been extinguished by law or, with the consent of its Owner, is proposed to be replaced with an equivalent Dedication. If the amended Plat is approved, signed by all property interest Owners, and recorded, the recorded Plat shall vacate, supersede, and replace any contrary provision in a previously recorded Plat on the same land.

(Ord. No. 2020-02, § IV(Exh. C), 1-8-2020; Ord. No. 2023-27, § 1(Exh. A), 9-12-2023)

A.

Street. State law governs the process required to vacate a Public Street. The process varies according to the nature of the City's property interest in the Street and the manner by which the property was acquired.

1.

Typically, upon proper notice, Planning Commission recommendation, and a finding that the public and no person will be adversely affected by the vacation, the City Council may by Resolution, establish the fair market value basis for the purchase price of the vacated Right-of-way. In most circumstances, upon payment of fair market value, the Street will be vacated from the center line of the Right-of-way to each of the adjoining property Owners.

2.

The Planning Commission shall incorporate the vacated Street into the adjoining Lots or Parcels by Plat (or Plat Amendment). The vacation shall not be effective until the Plat (or Plat Amendment) is recorded.

B.

Utility Easement. State law governs the process to wholly vacate a utility easement. Amendments to utility easements can be made in the normal platting process, with the consent and mylar signature of the affected utility or utilities.

(Ord. No. 2020-02, § IV(Exh. C), 1-8-2020; Ord. No. 2023-27, § 1(Exh. A), 9-12-2023)

A.

No Owner, or Agent of the Owner, of any un-subdivided Parcel of land located in a proposed Subdivision, shall transfer, or sell any such Parcel before a Plat of such Subdivision has been approved by the Planning Commission in accordance with the provisions of these regulations, signed by all required parties and filed with the County Recorder.

B.

The Subdivision of any Lot or any Parcel of land, by the use of metes and bounds description for the purpose of sale, Transfer, or lease is unlawful. However, subject to all of the requirements contained in these regulations, the City may approve metes and bounds descriptions for purposes of Parcel Boundary Adjustment, Lot Line Adjustment, or judicial process, resolving conflicting boundary descriptions, and the recombination (but not Subdivision or re-Subdivision) of historically platted Properties located within the Big Fields Survey.

C.

No Building Permit shall be issued for the construction of any Building or Structure located on a Lot or Plat that does not conform to these regulations.

(Ord. No. 2020-02, § IV(Exh. C), 1-8-2020; Ord. No. 2023-27, § 1(Exh. A), 9-12-2023)
