Overview

Outlines actions the legislative body of a county, city or town (Body) may authorize during the administrative review process of select functions by ordinance.

History

The Body must regulate the subdivision of all lands within its corporate limits by ordinance prescribing:

1)   Procedures for the preparation, submission, review and approval or rejection of all final plats;

2)   Standards governing the design of subdivision plats; and

3)   Minimum requirements and standards for the installation of subdivision streets, sewer and water utilities and improvements as a condition of final plat approval (A.R.S. § 9-463.01).

Currently, a municipality must have in place an overall time frame for which it will either grant or deny each type of license it issues.  The overall time frame for each type of license must state separately the administrative completeness review time frame and the substantive review time frame.  Additionally, it must post this information on its website (A.R.S. § 9-835).
