a.
Pre-application
Conference.
A property owner or applicant may request
a pre-application conference with the Administrative Official for
purposes of identifying requirements that are applicable to a proposed
plat. This conference between a developer and City staff is intended
to be of mutual benefit to the developer and the community by determining
the suitability and type of development of a tract of land. This step
also involves considerable planning which precedes actual preparation
of the preliminary plat. The request shall be made in writing on a
form prepared by the Administrative Official and shall state that
any proposed development concept discussed at the pre-application
conference is not intended as a plan for development or application
for plat approval. If the request for the meeting is to present a
plan for development or application presenting a plan for development
or plat that describes the property, the proposed uses for the property
and the permit which is sought, the Administrative Official shall
process the plan or application unless the applicant executes a form
that the plan is submitted only for the purpose of requesting information
and is not intended to constitute an application.
b.
Application.
An applicant shall submit a written application for plat approval
to the Administrative Official on forms prepared by the City, together
with all required documents, such as studies, drawings, exhibits,
or other ordinance requirements, in sufficient size and number as
required by the Administrative Official, and any reasonable information
requested by the Administrative Official to assist the City in its
review of the application. The owner, applicant, or other authorized
agent shall sign the application. Proof of agency shall be submitted
by affidavit signed by all owners. The City may require evidence of
fee simple title to the property.
c.
Preparation
and Reproductions.
Each plat shall be prepared by an
engineer or surveyor, trained and experienced in subdivision design.
The City may require blueprints or Blackline copies of the plat for
submittals. The applicant shall provide all plat submittals in .pdf
format. Once approved, the applicant shall be responsible for providing
the City with signed mylars and copies in electronic format. The number
of signed mylars shall be what is required by Tarrant County for filing
purposes.
d.
Fees.
The applicant shall consent in the application to be responsible
for payment of legal and engineering and any other professional fees
incurred by the City in connection with the processing of the application.
Approval of the final plat or minor or amending plat shall be conditional
until the applicant has paid the fees or has given security such as
posting a deposit or bond.
(Ordinance 490-15 adopted 2/19/15)
a.
Generally.
Every application for approval of a plat or plan for development
shall be subject to a determination of completeness by the Administrative
Official.
b.
Requirements.
No application shall be deemed complete and accepted for processing
unless the Administrative Official determines it is complete and it
is accompanied by all documents required by and prepared in accordance
with the requirements of this Ordinance and other applicable standards.
For a determination of completeness to be issued, an application must
include the following:
1.
A completed
application form signed by the owner or the owner’s authorized
agent;
2.
Every
item, study and document required by this Ordinance or other applicable
ordinances for the type of plat being submitted, or required for a
plan for development;
3.
An application
for approval of a plat for property located within the City shall
not be considered complete unless accompanied by a copy of the zoning
ordinance or other certification verifying that the proposed use for
which the application is submitted is authorized by the zoning district
in which the property is located;
4.
A plat
application must conform to the zoning regulations applicable to the
property at the time of the application, except as otherwise provided
herein; and
5.
An agreement
to pay all fees incurred with the review and processing of the application,
and a deposit, if payment has not been timely made for previous applications.
c.
Proper
Zoning Required.
If a zoning change is contemplated for
the property, the zoning change must be completed before the approval
of any preliminary plat of the property. The City Council shall not
approve a plat which does not comply with the zoning requirements
until any available relief from the Board of Adjustment has been obtained.
d.
Additional
Requirements.
The Administrative Official and the City
Engineer may from time to time identify additional requirements for
a complete application that are not contained within but are consistent
with the application contents and standards set forth in this Ordinance.
e.
Substantive
Requirements.
A determination of completeness shall not
constitute a determination of compliance with the substantive requirements
of this Ordinance.
f.
Determination.
Not later than the tenth business day after the date an application
is submitted, the Administrative Official shall make a determination
whether the application constitutes a complete application. This shall
include a determination that all information and documents required
by this Ordinance or other applicable ordinances have been submitted.
A determination that the application is incomplete shall be mailed
to the applicant within such time period by United States Mail at
the address listed on the application or delivered personally to the
applicant. The determination shall specify the documents or other
information needed to complete the application and shall state that
the application will expire if the documents or other information
is not submitted within forty-five (45) days after the date the application
was submitted.
g.
Complete
Application.
An application for approval of a plat shall
be deemed complete on the eleventh (11th) business day after the application
has been received, if the applicant has not otherwise been notified
that the application is incomplete. For purposes of this section,
the applicant shall be deemed to have been notified if the City has
mailed a copy of the determination as provided in subsection f.
h.
Incomplete
Application.
The processing of an application by any
City employee prior to the time the application is determined to be
complete shall not be binding on the City as the official acceptance
of the application for filing. The incompleteness of an application
shall be grounds for denial of the application regardless of whether
a determination of incompleteness was mailed to the applicant.
i.
Expiration
of Application.
An application for approval or of a plat
or plan for development shall be deemed to expire on the forty-fifth
(45th) day after the application is submitted to the Administrative
Official for processing if the applicant fails to provide documents
or other information necessary to meet the requirements of this Ordinance
as specified in the determination provided to the applicant.
j.
Denial
of Application.
No vested rights accrue solely from the
filing of an application that has expired pursuant to this section,
or from the filing of a complete application that is subsequently
denied.
(Ordinance 490-15 adopted 2/19/15)
a.
Applicability.
A preliminary plat must be prepared and approved for all subdivisions
within the corporate limits of the City which do not meet the requirements

Phasing.
The preliminary plat shall be submitted on the entire tract
proposed to be subdivided, regardless of whether the applicant intends
to final plat only a portion of the tract. Any phasing must be shown
on the preliminary plat. Any portion of a final plat that [is] developed
in sections or phases must correspond to the sections or phases on
the preliminary plat. In the event the developer chooses to submit

(Ordinance 490-15 adopted 2/19/15)
When a final plat deviates substantially from the approved preliminary
plat, the applicant must obtain approval of a revised preliminary
plat prior to the submission of a final plat. If an owner proposes
substantive changes to a preliminary plat after the City Council has
approved it, a revised preliminary plat shall be prepared, processed
and approved before preparation of the final plat.
(Ordinance 490-15 adopted 2/19/15)
a.
Purpose.
The purpose of a final plat is to assure that the division or
development of the land subject to the plat is consistent with all
standards of this Ordinance regulations and all other applicable ordinances,
that public improvements to serve the subdivision or development have
been installed and accepted by the City or that provision for such
installation has been made.
b.
Applicability.
Approval of a final plat shall be required prior to any nonexempt
subdivision of land and prior to any site preparation or grading activities
for a lot or tract of land that requires installation of public improvements
on or adjacent thereto. A final plat application shall not be required
for any land division that may be approved through the minor plat
procedures.
c.
Effect.
Approval of a final plat authorizes the Administrative Official
to record the plat upon completion of public improvements or posting
of security, and authorizes the subdivider to install any public improvements
under approved construction plans.
d.
Application.
After obtaining approval or conditional approval of a preliminary
plat and if required, fulfilling all requirements of the preliminary
plat approval, the applicant may submit an application for approval
of a final plat. The final plat shall be accompanied by a completed
application and shall be in accordance with all Ordinance requirements.
e.
Phases.
A final plat may include all or only a portion of the area of
the approved preliminary plat. If a final plat is approved in sections
or phases, each final plat of each section is to carry the name of
the entire subdivision, but is to be distinguished from each other
section by a distinguishing letter, number or subtitle designating
the Phase. Block numbers shall run consecutively throughout the entire
subdivision, even though such subdivision may be finally approved
in sections.
(Ordinance 490-15 adopted 2/19/15)
a.
Sheet Size.
All final plats, replats, amending plats, and minor plats shall
be drawn on a sheet size of twenty-two (22) inches by thirty-four
(34) inches. Mylars shall be photographically reduced to eighteen
(18) inches by twenty-four (24) inches prior to obtaining original
signatures for filing in the county records. Where more than one sheet
is needed, an index showing the entire subdivision shall be added
to the first sheet or provided on a sheet of its own to be filed with
the plat. The applicant shall submit copies of the final plat in .pdf
format.

and one set shall be returned to the applicant, and at least two sets
shall be retained in the City’s files. The developer shall provide
additional sets of the approved plans to the City, as specified by
the City Engineer, for use during construction. A full set of the
City-approved and stamped construction plans must be available for
inspection on the job site at all times.
f.
Revisions.
If the conditions of approval require revision(s) to the construction
plans, one set shall be marked with objections noted (on the plans
themselves and/or in memo format) and returned to the applicant for
correction, whereupon the applicant’s engineer shall correct
the plans as requested and resubmit them for decision. A properly
revised set of construction plans shall be submitted to the City Engineer
within 10 working days of receipt of the notice of the City’s
Engineer’s decision.
