Subdivision plats
Before you submit...
Prior to submittal of a subdivision plat application, staff strongly recommends that you schedule a Pre-Application Development Review Committee meeting to discuss your project.
Tentative Plats are reviewed and approved administratively. A Tentative Plat demonstrates the feasibility of a proposed subdivision. It does not create legal lot lines.
Tentative Plat submittals are to be made online via Sahuarita's e-permitting website.
Tentative Plat Process and Submittal Checklist
Subdivision Policy Guidelines (PDF) offers direction on plat expirations, re-plats, and plat amendments.
Recreation Area Plan
Residential Tentative Plats require submittal of a Recreation Area Plan (RAP). For RAP requirements, please see the Parks & Recreation Area Design Standards Manual (PDF). Please contact the Parks and Recreation Department with any questions related to RAP requirements.
Landscape Plans
A Landscape Plan is recommended to be submitted with your Tentative Plat. Approval of a Landscape Plan will be required prior to approval of a Final Plat. You do not need a separate application form for the Landscape Plan.
Review Timeframes
- A 5-day administrative review ensures that all of the required pieces of the submittal package have been submitted and are in the correct format. If so, your submittal will be accepted for substantive review.
- Substantive review of a Tentative Plat is typically 4 weeks per review.
Once a Tentative Plat has been approved, you may submit a Final Plat. Final Plats require Town Council approval and create legal lot lines for the sale or lease of property.
Final Plat submittals are to be made online via Sahuarita's e-permitting website.
Subdivision Policy Guidelines offer direction on plat expirations, re-plats, and plat amendments.
