Officials told to review each subdivision filing after wave of applications before ordinance change
Summary
Spring City officials were advised to review each subdivision application individually after a surge of filings submitted the day before an ordinance change; incomplete applications should receive deficiency notices and are not vested under the old rules.
City officials discussed a cluster of subdivision applications filed just before a local ordinance change and were advised to treat each filing separately. Rob Terry told the group that some applications were complete and therefore vested under the prior rules, while others were incomplete and "carry no vested rights," recommending staff send deficiency notices that reference the prior ordinance for incomplete filings.
The trainer recommended that applicants whose filings were incomplete be told they must resubmit under the new ordinance and that officials avoid blanket assumptions about vesting. Council members and board members were counseled to document completeness determinations carefully so applicants understand whether their filings proceed under the earlier or revised rules.
