20 f. That the subdivision is premature as determined by the standards of this Chapter. (E) City Council Action. (1) The City Council shall act upon the preliminary plat after it has received a report and recommendation from the Planning Commission and the City staff, or until 60 days after the first regular Planning Commission meeting at which the request was considered. The City Council shall have the option of receiving additional testimony if it so chooses. An application for preliminary plat shall be approved or denied within 120 days from the date of its official and complete submission unless extended pursuant to Statute or a time waiver is granted by the subdivider. (2) If the preliminary plat is not approved by the City Council, the reasons for the action shall be recorded in the proceedings of the City council and transmitted to the applicant. If the City Council approves the preliminary plat is approved, the approval shall not constitute final acceptance of the layout. Subsequent approval will be required of the engineering proposals and other features and requirements as specified by this chapter to be indicated on the final plat. The City Council may require revisions in the preliminary plat and final plat as it deems necessary for the public health, safety, general welfare, and convenience. (F) Effect of Approval. For one year following preliminary plat approval, unless the subdivider and City agree otherwise, no amendment to the Comprehensive Plan or other official controls shall apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, or lot layout that was approved by the City. (G) Effect of Denial. If a preliminary plat application is denied by the City Council, a similar application for a preliminary plat affecting substantially the same property shall not be considered again by the Planning Commission or City Council for at least six months from the date of its denial by the City Council. (H) Submission of final plat; request for extension. If the preliminary plat is approved by the City Council, the subdivider must submit the final plat within 180 days after the City Council approval, or approval of the preliminary plat shall be considered void, unless a request for time extension is submitted in writing and approved by the City council. Such request for an extension shall include the following: 1) an explanation for why a final plat has not been applied for, 2) what, if any, good faith efforts have been made to complete the platting process, and 3) the anticipated completion date, and 4) the require City fee.
