§ 13.02.08. Platting.

A.

Generally. Where proposed minor or major development includes the subdivision of land, the final approval of the development plan by the planning board shall be made contingent upon approval by the county commission of a plat conforming to the development plan.

B.

Filing with department. After receiving plat-contingent final development plan approval, the developer shall submit to the department a plat conforming to the development plan and the requirements of F.S. ch. 177. Alternatively, the developer may submit a plat at any point in the development review process.

C.

Review by department. The department shall, within five working days of receiving the plat, determine whether the plat conforms to the approved development plan and the requirements of F.S. ch. 177. If the department determines that the plat so conforms, it shall place the plat on the next available agenda of the county commission allowing for required notice. If it does not conform, the department shall explain the deficiency in the plat to the developer and inform him that a corrected plat may be resubmitted for approval.

D.

Review by county commission. Review of the plat by the county commission shall be strictly limited to whether the plat conforms to the requirements of F.S. ch. 177. A conforming plat shall be approved and the department shall forthwith issue the development order allowing development to proceed provided any guarantees described in 13.02.09 are established and any required federal or state permits have been received. The county commission shall return nonconforming plats to the developer with an explanation of deficiencies and a notice that a corrected plat may be resubmitted for approval.
