The process of dividing land into smaller lots is often generically referred to as a subdivision. However, in this title, the term “subdivision” refers specifically to the division of land into five or more lots, while the division of land into four or fewer lots is called a “short subdivision.” Most of the regulations for subdivisions and short subdivisions are the same, but a short subdivision is an administrative process where an application is reviewed and decided upon by city staff whereas a subdivision is reviewed and decided upon by the city’s hearing examiner. A plat is the drawing or map which shows the subdivision or short subdivision. (Ord. 6239 § 1, 2009.)
