The Subdivision Regulations have some <br />terms that are outdated inform and, in some instances; there are no certificate and <br />endorsement requirements for information that should be shown on a final plat, This <br />amendment addresses some of the revisions needed to update the regulations, <br />1. Removing all references to registered land surveyor and replacing with the correct <br />designation of Professional Land Surveyor. [Section V-D] <br />2, Require parcels under common ownership or a homeowners' association ownership to <br />be labeled as tracts, [Section V-D-4-a] <br />3. Require plats to also show Extraterritorial Zoning Jurisdiction lines and Parcel <br />Identification Numbers.
