November 16, 2021 <br />Page 3 <br />2.Analysis <br />Preliminary Plat <br />With only limited exceptions, the subdivision of a parcel into two or more development <br />parcels is done via a plat, which is a mapped and surveyed document recorded with the <br />County that will officially create the legal parcel. Platting is regulated by the Subdivision <br />Ordinance, which establishes two steps for consideration of a plat: Preliminary Plat and <br />Final Plat. <br />The Preliminary Plat is a record drawing that illustrates the subdivision lines, but also <br />includes a visual description of the improvements proposed as a part of the plat. The <br />purpose of the Preliminary Plat is to ensure that the proposed improvements on the new <br />parcel can be developed in accordance with the requirements of the City’s zoning, building, <br />engineering, and other public safety standards. In this case, the components of the <br />Preliminary Plat have been reviewed and incorporated into the PUD documents. <br />When a Plat is a part of a Planned Unit Development project, the platting aspect is often <br />subsumed by the PUD review, since the PUD will manage the several zoning particulars that <br />apply to the site. A PUD is treated as a single development site – even though it may be <br />broken up into several separate legal land parcels.
