Item Text

15. RESOLUTION REGARDING PRELIMINARY PLATS Approve the Resolution extending the validity of approved preliminary plats in unincorporated Maricopa County to December 31, 2017. This would apply to plats which are scheduled to become invalid or did become invalid on or after October 1, 2010. Staff is recommending that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution to extend time for preliminary plat approvals for two years. As the economy improves, the need for new housing will become increasingly important. The extension will enable home builders to continue to pursue financing for final platting and development while not losing the benefits of the initial review completed through a preliminary plat procedure. When a preliminary plat is approved, it is only valid for two years. (In the event of a phased preliminary plat, the plat remains valid for a two year period for each phase.) If the landowner does not proceed to final plat within those two years, the preliminary plat expires and the land owner must begin anew. Subdivision plats are a more desirous method to create new residential development as it encourages orderly growth, adequate access and infrastructure. (C-44-13-103-M-01)
