This amendment removes the requirement for a Preliminary Plat utilizing the Planned Residential Development standards within the Zoning Code to be approved by City Council.  This requirement was added last year with a City Code Amendment that made the review of subdivision plats an administrative review based on the allowances SB1103.  This year, the legislature amended Arizona Revised Statutes to make administrative review of subdivision plats a requirement rather than a general allowance.  Based on a review of HB 2447, staff recommends the following City Code amendment to ensure compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes.

There are no anticipated financial impacts affiliated with the proposed City Code Text Amendment.

There are no anticipated policy impacts affiliated with the proposed City Code Text Amendment.
