Short Form Subdivisions (Lot Splits)
WHAT IS A SHORT FORM SUBDIVISION?
A short form subdivision, or lot-split is the process of legally dividing a lot of record into two or more tracts of land, and is required for any division of land resulting in tracts of five acres or less.
Formal platting may be unnecessary in all instances. An existing lot may be further split in the following situation:
It is owned by one party
No more than three lots will be created, including the parent tract
The property has not been divided in the previous twelve (12) months
There is legal access via an improved public or private right-of-way
Proposed lots are properly zoned and meet all requirements of City Code Chapter 122.
Proposed property lines will not create non-conformities
Fire apparatus has access to the property and fire suppression is available
Adequate required utilities are present
The proposal is approved by the Mustang Planning Commission.
HOW DO I APPLY FOR A LOT SPLIT?
Submit a completed application, include all required documents
A deed of the original tract and the proposed tracts.
A certified survey
All instruments for the dedication of required public easements and rights-of-way
Pay the filing fee, $75.00
WHAT IS THE LOT SPLIT PROCESS?
Once all the required documents are submitted, the Community Development Director and the City Attorney review the application.
If everything is accurate the Community Development Director will schedule the Lot Split Application on the City Planning Commission's agenda and recommend approval or denial.
The Planning Commission meets on the Second (2nd) Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m., in the Mustang Municipal Building located at 1501 N MUSTANG RD.
The application will go before the Planning Commission who have the final authority to approve or deny the application.
This process should not be viewed as a means to circumvent other City Code requirements (See Sections 106-261 through 106-267 and Chapter 122, etal). For more information contact Ryan Conner, City Planner at (405) 376-7702 or rconner@cityofmustang.org.
