(A) 
Purpose. The purpose of the Partition and Subdivision process is to: Facilitate and enhance the value of development; Maintain the integrity of the City’s watercourses by promoting bank stability, assisting in flood protection and flow control, protecting riparian functions, minimizing erosion, and preserving water quality and significant fish and wildlife areas; Minimize adverse effects on surrounding property owners and the general public through specific approval conditions; Ensure the provision of public facilities and services; Provide for connectivity between different uses; Utilize alternative transportation modes including walking, bicycling and mass transit facilities; Implement the applicable Comprehensive Plans, applicable refinement plans, specific area plans and specific development plans; Minimize adverse effects on surrounding property owners and the general public through specific approval conditions; and Otherwise protect the public health and safety.
(B) 
The Partition process regulates land divisions that create 2 or 3 parcels within a calendar year. If the Director determines that a property proposed to be partitioned has been, or is in the process of being divided into 4 or more lots, full compliance with the Subdivision regulations specified in this code may be required.
(C) 
The Subdivision process regulates land divisions that create 4 or more lots within a calendar year.
(D) 
Applicability.
(1) 
The Partition process applies within the city limits and the City’s urbanizable area. Generally, no more than 3 parcels may be created from 1 tract of land in the City’s urbanizable area until annexation, as specified in SDC 5.12.125(I)(2)(b)(iii).
(2) 
The Subdivision process applies only within the city limits.
(3) 
No lot/parcel may be created without being divided as specified in this code.
(4) 
No development permit will be issued by the City prior to approval of the Partition or Subdivision Tentative Plan application.
EXCEPTION: As may be permitted in the Springfield Municipal Code, 1997 and/or by Resolution No. 03-40, the Director may issue a Land and Drainage Alteration Permit prior to approval of the Partition or Subdivision Tentative Plan.
(6463)
Any residential land division shall conform to the following standards:
(A) 
The lot/parcel dimensions shall conform to the minimum standards of this code. When lots/parcels are more than double the minimum area permitted by the zoning district, the Director shall require that these lots/parcels be arranged:
(1) 
To allow redivision; and
(2) 
To allow for the extension of streets to serve future lots/parcels.
(3) 
Placement of structures on the larger lots/parcels shall be subject to approval by the Director upon a determination that the potential maximum density of the larger lot/parcel is not impaired. In order to make this determination, the Director may require a Future Development Plan as specified in SDC 5.12.120(E).
(B) 
Double frontage lots/parcels shall be avoided, unless necessary to prevent access to residential development from collector and arterial streets or to overcome specific topographic situations.
(C) 
Panhandle lots/parcels shall comply with the standards specified in SDC 3.2.215 and 4.2.120(A). In the case of multiple panhandles in Subdivisions, construction of necessary utilities to serve all approved panhandle lots/parcels shall occur prior to recording the Plat.
(D) 
Public street standards as specified in SDC 4.2.105.
(6443)
