19.03.030 - Decision.

A. Review and Determination. The city plan commission shall review all preliminary plat applications, findings of the staff, findings of the city manager, or designee regarding compliance with staff recommendations, and any other information available. From all such information, the commission shall determine whether the preliminary plat as shown on the application meets the standards of this title. B. Approval or Denial. The city plan commission shall decide whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the preliminary plat application within thirty days from determination that the application is complete in accordance with Section 19.37.020. The action of the commission shall be entered in the minutes of the commission and the applicant shall be notified of the results. 1. All changes or conditions required by the city plan commission as part of the preliminary plat approval shall be made a part of the record and any final plat or final subdivision improvement plans shall meet those required changes or conditions. 2. On a preliminary plat with significant changes, the city plan commission may at the time a preliminary plat is approved subject to conditions, require a revised preliminary plat to be resubmitted. 3. Where the city plan commission conditionally approves or disapproves a preliminary plat application, the city plan commission shall provide the applicant a written statement of the conditions for the conditional approval or reasons for disapproval that clearly articulates each specific condition for the conditional approval or reason for disapproval. Each condition or reason specified in the written statement must: a. Be directly related to the requirements in Title 19 and specifications contained in the City of El Paso Street Design Manual (SDM); and b. Include a citation to the law, including a statute or municipal ordinance, that is the basis for the conditional approval or disapproval; and c. May not be arbitrary. 4. After the conditional approval or disapproval of the preliminary plat application, the applicant may resubmit the preliminary plat along with a written response that clearly articulates how each condition for conditional approval or each reason for disapproval has been remedied. 5. The city plan commission shall determine whether to approve or disapprove the applicant's previously conditionally approved or disapproved preliminary plat within fifteen days of receipt of resubmission and written response. 6. It shall be the responsibility of the subdivider to ensure that the preliminary plat satisfies all the requirements of the city code, the SDM and any other regulatory requirement.
