Subdivision Regulations

The Metro Planning Commission adopted expanded Subdivision Regulations on March 9, 2006.  Those regulations were amended in 2006, 2010, 2011, and 2013, and most recently on January 9, 2014.

The changes included several housekeeping amendments and a substantive change to Section 3-5, Infill Subdivisions. Section 3-5 now differentiates between established areas and areas where additional development is anticipated, based on the land use or character policy in the Community Plan. In established areas, a formula is provided to determine compatibility with the character of the area.
