Large Lot Subdivisions Large lot subdivisions are reviewed in a process similar to short plats, except the availability of water is not required. Large lots subdivisions are defined as every division or redivision of land into two or more lots, each of which is equal to or larger than five acres in size, and any one of which is less than ten acres in size. Other subdivisions include rural subdivisions and urban subdivisions. These are subdivisions that divide land into five or more lots. They involve lots greater than one acre, usually with private roads.
Lots are less than one acre, and the subdivision usually includes public roads.
Both of these types of subdivisions are reviewed by the Planning staff and other interested agencies, but must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners after public hearing and review and recommendation by the County Planning Commission. This type of development required special application materials and information, site review, and design standards. P.U.D.'s are reviewed by the Planning staff and other interested agencies. Like regular subdivisions, they must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners after public hearing and review and recommendation by the County Planning Commission. All Rights Reserved.
