PROCEDURES Section 2.1: Pre -Application Procedures The applicant should avail himself or herself of the advice and assistance of the City's administrative officers, and should consult early and informally with those officers before preparing a concept plan or any plat in order to save time and money, and to avoid potential unnecessary delays. Prior to formal application for approval of any concept plan or plat, the applicant shall request and attend a mandatory pre -application conference with the appropriate City official(s) in order to become familiar with the City's development regulations and the subdivision process. At the pre -application conference, the applicant may be represented by his or her land planner, engineer, or surveyor Section 2.2: Statutory Procedures A. Zoning Requirements. A property within the City's corporate limits that is being proposed for platting must be properly zoned by the City, following the procedures of the City of Wylie's Zoning Ordinance, prior to submission of an application for approval of any plat or plan. In addition, the proposed development layout or subdivision design shown on the proposed plat or plan must be in conformance with all standards and requirements prescribed in the City's Zoning Ordinance. Noncompliance with the requirements of the zoning district in which the subject property is located, or lack of the proper zoning, shall constitute grounds for denial of the plat or plan. In situations where the zoning on a particular piece of property cannot be ascertained by the City, the burden of proof regarding the property's zoning shall rest with the property owner. Proof of proper zoning shall consist of appropriate documentation, such as a copy of the ordinance establishing the zoning, which shall be reviewed by City officials as to its validity and authenticity. Any plat or plan submitted for approval by the City shall be in accordance with the City's Zoning Ordinance, if the property is located within the City's corporate limits, and, if the property is located within the City's corporate limits or extraterritorial jurisdiction, it shall be in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, including all adopted water, sewer, storm drainage, future land use, park, recreation, open space and thoroughfare plans. All plats and plans shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer or a registered land surveyor. B. Classification of Subdivisions and Additions. Before any deed conveying land is filed for record with the County Clerk, the property owner shall apply for and secure City Council approval of the required subdivision plat, in accordance with the following procedures, unless otherwise provided within this Ordinance. 1. Minor subdivisions may be approved for residential or nonresidential properties. Minor plat approval by the City Planner requires the submission of a final plat drawing and other submission materials required by Section 2.11 of this Ordinance. Lots may be conveyed or sold only when the plat has been approved by the City and the plat has been recorded with the appropriate County of Record. 1 City of Wylie, Texas Subdivision Ordinance Adopted 2-25-03, Amended 7-24-07, 9-10-19 2. Major subdivisions may be approved for residential or nonresidential properties. The procedure for approval of a major subdivision typically involves three steps: a concept plan, preliminary plat and final plat. Sections 2.3 through 2.6 of this Ordinance provide the requirements for each. Major plat approval shall be in accordance with Sections 2.4 through 2.6 of this Ordinance. All major subdivision plats must be reviewed by the Commission and approved by the City Council, pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2,8 of this Ordinance. Upon completion of the required public improvements, or upon submission and City approval of the appropriate surety for public improvements, the property owner may file the final plat in the land record of the appropriate County of Record. Lots may be sold only when the final plat has, been recorded at the appropriate County of Record. No conveyance or sale of any portion or lot of the property may occur until after the final plat is approved by the City Council and filed at the appropriate County of Record. C. Submission Requirements For All Types of Plat and Plan Applications. 1. In addition to the requirements outlined herein for each type of development application, the City Planner has authority to, and shall establish and maintain separate policies and procedures for the submission and processing of applications including, but not limited to, application forms, checklists, language blocks for plats, and other similar items. The forms, policies, procedures, and other documents references in this subsection shall be available at the office of the City Planner and published on the City website.

The approval of any concept plan or preliminary plat as required by the Ordinance, shall be effective for a period of one hundred and eighty-three (183) calendar days after the date that the plat was approved by the Commission or Council, except as otherwise provided herein. By 12:01 a.m. on the 184th day following Council approval of the plat, the applicant must have submitted an application for the next consecutive step in the platting process. If this is not accomplished, then the approved plan or plat shall be deemed to have expired and shall become null and void. The approval of a final plat and the City Engineer's approval of engineering plans for proposed public improvements shall be effective for a period of one hundred and eighty- three (183) days after the date that the plat or plans were approved by the Commission and Council, respectively. If the required fees are not paid and the applicable site construction not commenced within this time period, the final plat shall expire and become null and void, unless such time period is extended or reinstated by the City Planner. Following the acceptance of all improvements, the final plat shall be filed at the appropriate County of Record at the applicant's earliest convenience. A filed final plat is valid in perpetuity, unless vacated or amended. Failure to file a final plat with the County in a timely manner may result in the withholding of connection of City utilities. I. Extension and Reinstatement Procedure. Prior to the lapse of approval for a plat or plan, the property owner may petition the City to extend the plat or plan approval. Such petition shall be considered by the City Council, and an extension may be granted by Council for a specific period of time. If no petition for extension of plat or plan approval is submitted by the property owner prior to the expiration date, then the plat or plan shall be deemed to have expired and shall become null and void. The property owner must thereafter submit a new plat or plan application for approval, and shall conform to the subdivision regulations then in effect. The City Council may extend the approval subject to additional conditions based upon newly enacted City regulations or State legislation, or such as are necessary to ensure compliance with the original conditions of approval and to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The Council may also specify a shorter time for extension of the plat or plan than the original 183-day approval period. J. Lapse of Approval of Engineering Plans. The approved engineering plans shall be valid for a period of one hundred eighty-three (183) calendar days following approval by the City Engineer. The City Council may, upon written request by the applicant, grant an extension of up to an additional 183 calendar days, after which the engineering plans shall be subject to re -approval by the City Engineer if no construction has occurred.

It is generally recognized that minor revisions to the preliminary plat may be needed before the final plat can be filed at the County of Record. Minor revisions such as the slight enlargement or shifting of easements or lot lines, addition of private or franchise utility easements, correction of bearings or distances, correction of minor labeling errors, addition of erroneously omitted informational items and labels, etc. may occur on the final plat without the necessity of submitting a new or amended preliminary plat application. Major revisions, such as obvious reconfiguration of lot lines or easements, relocation of driveways or access easements or fire lanes, any modification to the perimeter or boundary of the property, and relocation or addition or deletion of any public improvement (including corresponding easement), shall necessitate the filing of a new preliminary plat application. The procedures applicable to such applications shall be the same as for a preliminary plat, and such re -approval may constitute a new project thus necessitating submission of a new application form, payment of new fees, and other requirements. 11 City of Wylie, Texas Subdivision Ordinance Adopted 2-25-03, Amended 7-24-07, 9-10-19 vUe jfarmer5trille Elms- • Murphy Monitor • The Princeton Herald • 7.ecSachse News • THE WYLIE NEWS STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF COLLIN Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Chad Engbrock. publisher of C & S Media, dba The Wylie News, a newspaper regularly published in Collin County, Texas and having general circulation in Collin County, Texas, and being in compliance with Section 2051.044, Texas Government Code (a); (1), (2), (3) and (4), who being by me duly sworn, deposed and says that the foregoing attached: City of Wylie Ordinance No. 2019-21 & Ordinance No. 2019-23 was published in said newspaper on the following date(s), to -wit: September 18, 2019. 01/11Pit, Chad Engbrock, Publisher dC J`L� Subscribed and sworn before me on this, the day c5 0-4/'tof . 2019 to certify which witness my hand and seal of office.
