Revised May 19, 2023 Page 1 PLAT ALL SUBDIVISION PLATS SUBMITED TO THE CITY OF ARVADA FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AS OF May 15, 2023 ARE REQUIRED TO ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING REQUIERMENTS AND CHECKLISTS. A plat is a scaled map of real property required as part of the subdivision development process prepared by a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) that describes parcel boundaries, easements, encumbrances, and land dedications in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes Title 38, the County of record, and the Arvada Land Development Code (LDC) for the purpose of creating land parcels which can be identified uniquely by reference to such map. OVERVIEW ● Plats are created for two types of subdivisions: Minor and Major. • A Minor Subdivision is a subdivision: ■ Containing nine or fewer lots or any number of air-space units, where the subject property was not originally subdivided by a Minor Subdivision Plat; ■ That is processed in conjunction with a Site Plan regardless of number of lots; or ■ For boundary line / lot line adjustments, correction of errors on an approved Major Subdivision Final Plat or for vacation of utility easements. ■ Minor Subdivisions are processed administratively through a Minor Plat. • A Major Subdivision is a subdivision: ■ Containing 10 or more lots; or ■ That involves further subdivision of a lot or tract that was created by Minor Subdivision Plat, regardless of the number of lots or tracts that would be created by the proposed subdivision. ■ Major Subdivisions are processed by: • Preliminary Plat that is reviewed by City staff and approved or denied at public hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council; and • Final Plat that is processed administratively. ■ A Neighborhood Meeting is required prior to the submittal of an application for a Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat. ● A Minor Subdivision Plat and Major Subdivision Final Plat are prepared following the same standards for recording with the appropriate county clerk and follow the same checklist starting on the next page. ● A Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat is intended to demonstrate conformance with the LDC but will not be recorded with the county clerk. The Preliminary Plat checklist begins on page 14.
