§ 20-2. Scope and purpose.

Latest version.

(a)

The approvals and requirements of this chapter shall be satisfied prior to any construction or division of land, including redivision or replatting of any land within the city.

(b)

The purpose of this chapter is to encourage the division and platting of land. Land division should only occur under conditions that will not be detrimental to the state's natural resources and will further promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the people of the city by providing for orderly development within the city. The city wishes to discourage inefficient urban sprawl and encourage the flexible land use of areas served by adequate city services and utilities. This chapter will promote the accurate titling and conveyance of land with more accurate legal descriptions resulting from proper surveying and establish uniform procedures for the submission, approval and enforcement of the act. All plats, land divisions, lot splits, subdivisions and site condominiums must comply with the requirements of this chapter as well as all other applicable laws and ordinances.
