17.32.310 Phased subdivisions.
1. Purpose. The intent of this section is to allow for incremental recordation of final plats and posting of public improvement bonds. By allowing these steps in the subdividing process to be phased, Lindon City can approve a subdivision’s master plan while relieving the applicant of the requirement of coming before the land use authority for each proposed phase. This also reduces application processing time, resulting in cost savings for the city. Additionally, phasing may grant opportunity for traditional up-front costs of subdividing to be spread out over time, thus granting an applicant a greater ability to see a project through to completion.
2. This section provides the steps required for phased subdivisions but is not intended to contain a comprehensive listing of all requirements of the Lindon City Code.
3. If the applicant is proposing phasing a subdivision into two (2) or more sections for purposes of recording final plats, such information must be included as a part of the preliminary plat submission.
a. A phasing plan describing each phase, anticipated number of lots and associated improvements of each phase, the order of phasing and the projected time for recording and development of each phase shall be submitted.
b. The entire project, with all phases, shall be represented on the preliminary plat and be subject to the application submittal requirements for preliminary subdivision plans as outlined in the Land Development Policies, Standard Specifications and Drawings Manual.
4. Upon preliminary approval and starting with phase one (1), final improvement and plat drawings for each phase may be submitted independently, according to the original project-phasing plan. Submittals shall be subject to the application submittal requirements for final plat and final improvement drawings as outlined in the Land Development Policies, Standard Specifications and Drawings Manual.
a. Phase one (1) final plat and final improvement drawings must be submitted within one (1) year of preliminary approval.
b. Subsequent phases must submit final plat and final improvement drawings within one (1) year of recording the previous phase plat.
c. The design review committee (DRC) shall have final approval authority in determining which infrastructure improvements are required in each phase.
d. Failure to reach submittal deadlines as outlined in Subsections 17.32.310(4)(a) and b above shall result in the expiration of the preliminary plan approval and a new application shall be required.
5. Bonding requirements as found in Chapter 17.38 shall apply to phased subdivisions. However, bonding for public improvements may be posted with Lindon City phase by phase with specific details regarding the improvements requiring bonding to be finalized by the design review committee.
6. Additional fees according to the Lindon City fee schedule may be required for bond reviews, final plat reviews, and final improvement drawing reviews associated with phased subdivisions. (Ord. 2023-22 §1, renumbered, 2023; Ord. 2013-1, adopted, 2013. Formerly 17.32.340)
