A. It is unlawful to transfer, sell, convey, gift, or assign any lot before a final subdivision plat for the lot to be transferred, sold, conveyed, gifted, or assigned is approved and recorded pursuant to the requirements of this title and applicable state law.

B. Except as otherwise provided, all lots or parcels created by the subdivision of real property must comply with the city’s lot size, lot width, lot depth, lot frontage, and buildable area requirements, and must abut a public or private street.

C. No subdivision may leave a lot or parcel outside the subdivision without access to a public street or a private street which the lot or parcel outside the subdivision has the legal right to use.

D. Any applicant desiring to develop property that has been subdivided illegally must comply with the requirements of this title before developing the property, regardless of whether or not the applicant was the one who illegally subdivided the property. No building permit may be issued for real property that has been illegally subdivided until the property has come into compliance with this title. The restrictions of this subsection do not apply to legally nonconforming lots.

E. It is unlawful to amend, vacate, alter, or modify any plat which has been approved and/or recorded, without first receiving city approval of the amended, vacated, altered, or modified plat.

F. It is unlawful to divide real property in such a way that a lot or parcel of property is created or left behind that cannot be developed according to the requirements of this title, the city zoning ordinance, and other applicable laws, regardless of whether or not a subdivision plat is required for the division. Examples of this type of violation include, but are not limited to, nuisance or protection strips, parcels or lots created or left for the sole purpose of denying another property owner access to his or her property, parcels or lots with insufficient square footage, parcels or lots with insufficient buildable area, parcels or lots that that do not meet the institutional controls requirements under Chapter 8.10, and parcels or lots that do not abut on a street.

G. All property must be developed in strict compliance with the approved preliminary plat, the approved final plat, the approved construction drawings, the city’s construction standards and specifications, and all notes, restrictions, covenants, dedications, boundaries, and other commitments shown on the approved preliminary or final plat. Failure to note any improvement required by this title or any other part of the Midvale Municipal Code on the preliminary plat, final plat, or the construction drawings will not eliminate the applicant’s responsibility to complete that improvement in the subdivision.

H. It is unlawful to convey or to record any conveyance of any real property to the city without following the appropriate processes outlined in this title and in Section 18.01.030 or without otherwise obtaining the consent of the city council. Any such conveyance is voidable by the city. (Ord. 2024-01 § 1 (Att. A))
