17.33.040 Review process and requirements for approval.
Plat Amendments are reviewed by Staff, the City Engineer, and the Land Use Authority in the same manner and process as a subdivision plat per LCC 17.32, and as outlined in the Development Manual. A request for a plat amendment shall be denied by the Land Use Authority if it is determined that the application fails to meet requirements found within Lindon City Code. In addition to any requirements required as part of a typical subdivision plat review, the following items shall be met:
1. Properties.
a. For purposes of this subsection, the plat amendment will not cause any involved properties to move out of conformance with any of the regulations of this Title (become non-conforming), except as follows:
i. If a property or lot is already out of conformance with a regulation in this Title, the plat amendment will not cause the property or lot to move further out of conformance with the regulation(s);
b. The plat amendment will not result in the creation of a flag lot;
c. No new building lot or additional housing units will result from the amendment;
d. The plat amendment does not result in remnant land that did not previously exist;
e. The plat amendment will not result in a property that is in more than one zone (split zoning), unless that property was already in more than one zone;
2. Utility Services and Lot Improvements.
a. The availability of utility services to the properties or lots must be maintained with no new utility services being installed other than utility relocations (i.e., realignment of property lines that require relocation of utility stubs).
b. Water shares must be submitted per Section 17.32.250 for any acreage or lots within the plat for which water shares have not already been turned into the City;
c. A plat amendment that results in new street frontage being added to an existing lot or parcel is acceptable as long as the new street frontage will not result in the creation of any new lots or parcels and the new street frontage already has all typically required public improvements installed (curb, gutter, sidewalk, utilities, etc.). If any new public improvements are necessary along unimproved street frontages (not just relocation of existing utilities) and are to be included within the amended plat, then the request needs to go through a subdivision application – not a plat amendment.
