Commission considers subdivision thresholds, family-division rules and notification
Summary
Staff briefed the commission on proposed subdivision ordinance items including minimum lot sizes in AR districts, family-division exceptions, public-notification options for subdivisions, and potential thresholds for requiring public water systems (15 lots discussed).
Staff told the commission the subdivision subcommittee is examining several items: whether to change minimum lot sizes for Agricultural-Residential (AR) districts, how to handle family-division exceptions, how and when to notify neighbors about subdivision applications, and what threshold should trigger a public water system requirement (staff referenced 15 lots as a possible trigger).
Staff said current county language classifies minor subdivisions as five lots or less and major subdivisions as six or more, but because review pathways changed, the commission asked staff to recommend a definition for a "large subdivision" and notification procedures. The subcommittee will meet December 10 to continue drafting recommendations for commissioners to review.
