What is a subdivision plat?
A subdivision is the process used to create a legal lot of record. It can be used to create two or more lots from one existing lot and/or dedicate easements and right-of-way. Subdivision Plats are reviewed and approved administratively.
It is recommended that the applicant meet with a Planner in the City Development Department to discuss the project.
After a subdivision plat is prepared by the applicant's surveyor, the plat and accompanying documents are distributed to City staff and other agencies for review. Subdivisions using or installing public water and sewer, or building public roads must have construction plans approved, and a Development Agreement for public improvements shall be approved and recorded. The construction plans and the Development Agreement should be submitted with the application for a subdivision. When the subdivision plat and Development Agreement have been signed by City officials, the City Development Department records the plat and Development Agreement, thereby creating a subdivision.
For further questions, call the City Development Department at 303-538-7295. An information packet is available online or at the City Development Department which identifies the materials necessary to submit an application.
