(a) 
Applicability.
(1) 
Replat.
A replat is generally submitted to replat a subdivision or part of a subdivision without vacation of the original plat, in conformance with Texas Local Government Code § 212.014, § 212.0145, and § 212.015, as amended.
(2) 
Portions.
Replatting a portion of a recorded lot is not permitted.
(3) 
Development.
A replat does not itself constitute approval for development of the property.
(b) 
Replat application requirements.
Submission requirements for a replat will be similar to those required for final plats. Applications must be made in a format consistent with requirements established by the Mayor of designee. Applications must include all materials determined necessary by the Mayor of designee.
(c) 
Approval criteria.
(1) 
Review.
Replats will be reviewed using the criteria in this code and any technical criteria referenced by this code.
(2) 
Completion of infrastructure and public improvements.
The Mayor (or designee) must have approved the construction plans, and the subdivider must have either posted fiscal surety and assurance of construction, or completed the required infrastructure and public improvements.
(d) 
Responsibility for final action.
The City Council will take the final action.
(e) 
Recordation.
If the City Council has approved the replat, the replat becomes the instrument to be recorded in the office of the appropriate County Clerk when all requirements have been met. A replat which has been approved by the City Council must be filed with the County Clerk within 12 months following the date of approval. The subdivider will pay all associated fees and file the replat with the appropriate County Clerk.
(f) 
Additional requirements for certain replats.
(1) 
Public notice.
In addition to a public hearing, public notice is required for a replat of a preceding plat if:
a. 
During the preceding five (5) years, any of the area to be replatted was limited by an interim or permanent zoning classification to residential use for not more than two (2) residential units per lot; or
b. 
Any lot in the preceding plat was limited by deed restrictions to residential use for not more than two (2) residential units per lot.
(2) 
Notice requirements.
Notice of the required hearing will be given before the fifteenth (15th) day before the date of hearing by:
a. 
Publication in an official newspaper or a newspaper of general circulation in the area in which the municipality is located; and
b. 
By written notice, with a copy of Subsection (3) below attached, forwarded by the municipal authority responsible for approving plats to the owners of lots that are in the original subdivision and that are within two hundred feet (200') of the lots to be replatted, as indicated on the most recently approved municipal tax roll or in the case of a subdivision within the extraterritorial jurisdiction, the most recently approved county tax roll of the property upon which the replat is requested. The written notice may be delivered by depositing the notice, properly addressed with postage prepaid, in a post office or postal depository within the boundaries of the municipality.
(3) 
Variances.
If the proposed replat requires a variance and is protested in accordance with this subsection, the proposed replat must receive, in order to be approved, the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members present of the City Council. For a legal protest, written instruments signed by the owners of at least 20 percent of the area of the lots or land immediately adjoining the area covered by the proposed replat and extending 200 feet (200') from that area, but within the original subdivision, must be filed with the commission or City Council, or both, prior to the close of the public hearing.
(4) 
In computing the percentage of land area under subsection (3), the streets and alleys will be included.
(5) 
Compliance with subsections (3) and (4) of this section is not required for approval of a replat of part of a preceding plat if the area to be replatted was designated or reserved for other than single or duplex family residential use by notation on the last legally recorded plat or in the legally recorded restrictions applicable to the plat.
