Subdivision
The subdivision of land is a major factor in the process of achieving sound community development which ultimately becomes a public responsibility since streets and utilities must be maintained and public services customary to urban areas must be provided. Therefore, it is in the interest of the public, the developer, and the future owners that subdivisions be conceived, designed, and developed in accordance with appropriate design standards and development specifications.
Plats
Except as otherwise provided below, the owner of land located within the city limits or in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City who subdivides the land and/or who owns previously subdivided land that was not platted in accordance with the current City Subdivision Ordinance, must have a plat of the subdivision or lot approved as provided in this Ordinance. No improvements to the subdivision or lot shall be commenced until compliance with this Ordinance is fulfilled.
