The General Plan for the subdivision was Approved by the Commission on June 19,1997. Under the terms of Development Ordinance 1444, it is classified as a major subdivision. The subdivision has to be developed in phases. Once the general plan has been approved, it was followed by separate preliminary and final plat submittal for each of two subdivision sections. After the completion of these two sections, the general plan has been amended to include the proposed section three. Analysis: The General Plan proposes approximately 4 dwelling units per acre which conforms with the Comprehensive Plan. The General Plan containing 158 lots, 9 blocks and 4 restricted reserves with Section I includes 3 blocks, 65 lots, Section II includes 3 blocks, 56 lots and proposed section III includes 3 blocks, 371ots. Staff has reviewed the plan and found it to be in accordance with the zoning and development ordinance of the City. The proposed section of the subdivision will be located in Park Zone 1. In accordance with the regulation, the general plan does not designate any parkland. Therefore, money in lieu of parkland would be required at or prior to final plat approval. .
