B. The legislative body of a municipality shall not refuse approval of a final plat of a project included in subsection A under provisions of an adopted subdivision regulation because of location of buildings on the property shown on the plat not in violation of such subdivision regulations or on account of the manner in which airspace is to be divided in conveying the condominium. Fees and lot design requirements shall be computed and imposed with respect to such plats on the basis of parcels or lots on the surface of the land shown thereon as included in the project. This subsection does not limit the power of such legislative body to regulate the location of buildings in such a project by or pursuant to a zoning ordinance.

C. "Subdivision" does not include the following:

START_STATUTE11-809. Review of land divisions; definitions

A. The board of supervisors of each county may adopt ordinances and regulations pursuant to this section for staff review and approval of land divisions of five three or fewer lots, parcels or fractional interests, any of which is ten acres or smaller in size. The county may not deny approval of any land division that meets the requirements of this section. If review of the request is not completed within thirty days after receiving the request, the land division is considered to be approved. At its option, the board of supervisors may submit a ballot question to the voters of the county to allow the voters to determine the application of subsections B and C to qualifying land divisions in that county.

B. An application to split a parcel of land shall be approved if:

1. The lots, parcels or fractional interests each meet the minimum applicable county zoning requirements of the applicable zoning designation.

2. The applicant provides a standard preliminary title report or other acceptable document that demonstrates legal access to the lots, parcels or fractional interests.

3. The applicant provides a statement from a licensed surveyor or engineer, or other evidence acceptable to the county, stating whether each lot, parcel or fractional interest has physical access that is traversable by a two‑wheel drive passenger motor vehicle.

4. The applicant reserves the necessary and appropriate utility easements to serve each lot, parcel or fractional interest created by the land division.

C. An application to split a parcel of land that does not comply with one or more of the items listed in subsection B shall still be approved if the applicant provides an acknowledgment that is signed by the applicant and that confirms that no building or use permit will be issued by the county until the lot, parcel or fractional interest has met the requirements of subsection B. The county may grant a variance from one or more of the items listed in subsection B.

D. Any approval of a land division under this section may:

1. Include the minimum statutory requirements for legal and physical on‑site access that must be met as a condition to the issuance of a building or use permit for the lots, parcels or fractional interests.

2. Identify topographic, hydrologic or other site constraints, requirements or limitations that must be addressed as conditions to the eventual issuance of a building or use permit. These constraints, requirements or limitations may be as noted by the applicant or through county staff review, but there shall be no requirement for independent studies.

E. If the requirements of subsections A through D do not apply, a county may adopt ordinances and regulations pursuant to this chapter for staff review of land divisions of five three or fewer lots, parcels or fractional interests but only to determine compliance with minimum applicable county zoning requirements and legal access, and may grant waivers from the county zoning and legal access requirements. The county may not deny approval of any land division that meets the requirements of this section or where the deficiencies are noticed in the deed. A county may not require a public hearing on a request to divide five or fewer lots, parcels or fractional interests, and if review of the request is not completed within thirty days from receipt of the request, the land division shall be deemed approved. If no legal access is available, the legal access does not allow access by emergency vehicles or the county zoning requirements are not met, the access or zoning deficiencies shall be noticed in the deed. If a county by ordinance requires a legal access of more than twenty‑four feet roadway width, the county is responsible for the improvement and maintenance of the improvement. If the legal access does not allow access to the lots, parcels or fractional interests by emergency vehicles, neither the county nor its agents or employees are liable for damages resulting from the failure of emergency vehicles to reach such lot, parcel or fractional interest.

F. It shall be unlawful for a person or group of persons acting in concert to attempt to avoid the provisions of this section or the subdivision laws of this state by acting in concert to divide a parcel of land into six or more lots or sell or lease six or more lots by using a series of owners or conveyances.
