Streamlined Plat Approval Process at the Town of Gilbert When: June 18, 2024 Where: Town of Gilbert Who: Development Engineering Manager, Planning Commission, Town Council What: Land Use Planning The Town of Gilbert has officially amended its Land Development Code (LDC) to streamline the process of final plat approvals. The new ordinance empowers the Development Engineering Manager to administratively approve final subdivision plats, including minor subdivisions, consisting of fewer than 300 lots. This change eliminates the need for Town Council approval for these plats, thereby expediting the process. The amendments also introduce an appeals process where decisions by the Development Engineering Manager can be appealed to the Town Council. This move aligns with the recent Arizona legislation aimed at enhancing efficiency in municipal approval processes.
