§ 86-130. Purpose.

(a)

Policy. It is the policy of the city that the developer or subdivider of a subdivision within the city or its extraterritorial jurisdiction shall be responsible for the dedication of right-of-way and the construction or improvement of appropriate portions of perimeter and approach streets which are necessitated by and attributable to that subdivision. The policy is based on the view that the developer of a subdivision should provide access and transportation facilities necessary to serve the new subdivision and that the perimeter and approach streets will provide access to and from the subdivision, thus increasing the marketability, utility, and ultimately the value of the property within the subdivision. The developer may be reimbursed for part of the cost of providing this access in accordance with this article.

(b)

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish responsibilities for the dedication of right-of-way and the construction of street improvements on streets directly abutting and/or providing access to property undergoing the process of subdivision under laws and regulations of the city. This article is designed to be used in conjunction with the comprehensive land use plan and the subdivision ordinance to ensure an orderly development plan for the growth of the community and to ensure compatibility of street systems and the development of public works infrastructure necessary to support new growth and development.
