Council corrects errors in subdivision code (Title 11) to match state statute
Summary
Moroni planners and the council approved corrections to the city's subdivision ordinance (Title 11) to align a 'simple lot subdivision' process with state code, change record-of-survey filing language and remove an applicant filing fee requirement.
The Moroni City Council approved corrections to the city's subdivision ordinance (Title 11) at the May 15 meeting to fix inconsistencies that staff identified after the city's prior adoption of Title 11.
Planning staff explained that the prior language required both the planning commission and the council to hold public hearings and approve a simple-lot subdivision that divides one lot into two, which contradicts state code. The proposed corrections simplify the process so the planning commission can process a simple-lot subdivision administratively without requiring council approval. Staff also proposed changing a requirement that a record of survey be "recorded" to instead be "filed," and to eliminate a requirement for applicants to pay the city's filing fee for that record. The amendment also explicitly adds the ordinance-amendment process into the title.
Councilmember Prestwich moved to accept the proposed corrections and Councilmember Sherry Green seconded the motion. The roll-call vote was unanimous.
Action taken: council adopted the proposed corrective amendments to Title 11 to align the city's subdivision process with state code and to correct record-filing language and fee requirements.
Next steps: staff will update the published ordinance language to reflect the changes.
