City of Fort Lupton
Preliminary Plat Process

Purpose

The Subdivision process is to provide for quality and timely land development, systematic review by interested agencies, public accountability, conformance with local and state laws and a clear set of standards.  The Subdivision process involves three (3) steps; Sketch Plat, Preliminary Plat and Final Plat,

The Preliminary Plat is the second step in the Subdivision Process and is a general concept, describing an Applicant’s development vision and plan for a proposed Major Subdivision.  The Preliminary Plat process is an opportunity to review at public hearings the proposed Subdivision with respect to the technical requirements, design standards, plans and improvement requirements of the City.  Testimony received at public hearings will provide additional insights to be considered in the review.  The Preliminary Plat process is intended to accomplish most or all of the design review and revision that will be required in order to proceed with preparation of a Final Plat and final design of public improvements.

Approval Criteria

All Preliminary Plats and subsequent Subdivisions shall be reviewed for compliance with the City of Fort Lupton Comprehensive Master Plan, the City of Fort Lupton Municipal Code (Chapters 16 and 17), and all other applicable plans and standards.
