SUBDIVIDING PROPERTY
WHAT IS A
SUBDIVISION?
1. The division of any
parcel of land shown as a unit or as contiguous units on the last preceding
taxroll. Into two (2) or more parcels, sites, or lots, any one of which is less
than five (5) acres, for the purpose, whether immediate or future of transfer of
ownership, provided, however, that the division or partition of land into
parcels of more than five (5) acres not involving any new streets or easements
of access, and the sale or exchange of parcels between adjoining lot owners,
where such sale or exchange does not create additional building sites, shall be
exempted; or
2. The improvement of one or
more parcels of land for residential, commercial, or industrial structures or
groups of structures involving the division or allocation of land for the
opening, widening, or extension of any street or streets except private streets
serving industrial structures; the division or allocation of land as open spaces
for common use by owners, occupants, or lease holders, or as easements for the
