Course Description
Gain practical tips to navigate a successful subdivision application process.
The land subdivision process involves dividing a parcel into two or more building lots for development. Before even filing an application, the applicant often undertakes a series of due diligence activities to determine if the site is suitable for a subdivision, and if so, then works with its consultants to formulate a realistic lot count and site layout.
Once a concept subdivision plan is prepared, the applicant typically conducts some governmental and/or public outreach before embarking on what can be a lengthy and complicated process that is governed by state law and local regulation. This includes a study of the environmental impacts that the proposed new homes may cause on traffic, stormwater, community character, and other areas of concern.
This live webinar will provide practical suggestions to assist landowners and developers navigate a successful subdivision application process.
