Section 13-124 COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISIONS,
GENERAL PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS

It is recognized that the subdivider, in creating Commercial and
Industrial subdivisions, faces unique problems of lot design not normally
encountered in residential subdivisions. For this reason, the initial emphasis
of the Office of Planning and Zoning shall be upon street layout and
block arrangement. Generally, the procedural requirements shall be for
the owner to follow the regular procedure outlined in these regulations,
however, the subdivider need only show two (2) lots along with the
street and block layout. Then, from time to time, as prospective buyers
or users express interest in lots sized to their required specifications,
and following informal discussions with the Office of Planning and
Zoning, the owner shall submit an amendment to the approved Record
Subdivision Plat for consideration. Regular procedural requirements of
the Planning and Zoning Office following receipt of a Final Subdivision
Plat shall then apply, EXCEPT THOSE STREETS THAT HAVE
BEEN BUILT BY FOLLOWING AN APPROVED SET OF PLANS
ON THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FINAL PLAT, SHALL NOT
HAVE TO BE REBUILT BECAUSE OF THE ADOPTION OF NEW
CRITERIA BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT OR THE
COUNTY COUNCIL. THIS SHALL ALSO APPLY TO STORM DRAIN-
AGE FACILITIES WITHIN SAID SUBDIVISION UNLESS RUNOFF
CHARACTERISTICS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY THE NEWLY PRO-
POSED IMPROVEMENTS OR UNAUTHORIZED EXISTING IM-
PROVEMENTS.
