Whenever the owner of any tract or parcel of land prepares or intends to prepare a preliminary plat of any real property within the planning jurisdiction or prepares or intends to prepare any other means of subdivision of the same pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations, the subdivider shall, before submitting an application for or presenting such preliminary plat, meet and consult informally with the Planning Department for the purpose of ascertaining the location of proposed major streets, parks, playgrounds, school sites, and other planned projects which may affect such tract or parcel of land being considered for subdivision. At the same meeting, the subdivider should review with the Planning Department the minimum standards of subdivision design set forth in Article
V of this chapter with the Planning Department. This informal review is intended to help prevent or minimize unnecessary and costly revisions in the layout and development of the subdivision. The subdivider shall also submit a vicinity map to the Planning Department showing the relationship of the proposed subdivision to existing or platted streets and arterials and existing community facilities.
