In some instances, if a property is not zoned for residential uses it must first be rezoned before proceeding through the subdivision or site plan process.

Single Family Residential (Attached & Detached)

To divide a parcel(s) to create new residential lots the development plan must be reviewed through the residential subdivision review process.

Subdividing land requires approval from the Planning Department, except when:

• The sale or exchange of parcels does not result in additional building lots or reconfiguration of the property
• The division is the result of an inheritance or by court order
• The division is to create a lot for a public facility, public building, or community well

Review Process to Follow

The scope and complexity of a proposed development will determine the review process to be followed. Some factors used to determine the review process include:

• The number of lots proposed
• The need to extend public utilities (water and sewer) to the property
• The need to upgrade or construct roads to serve the development
• The need to construct public drainage improvements to serve the development
