.03 SUBDIVISIONS AND PLATS TO COMPLY WITH OFFICIAL PLAN AND MAP.
(a) The City Council shall not approve any subdivision or plat of territory within the corporate limits or within contiguous territory not more than one and one-half miles beyond the corporate limits and not included in any municipality until such subdivision or plat has been submitted to City Staff, including the City Attorney and City Engineers for their recommendations.
(b) In the case of the approval or disapproval of any such subdivision or plat, the reasons for such approval or disapproval shall be submitted to the City Council. The City Council may accept or reject the City Staff’s recommendations or may make amendments or changes thereto and accept such subdivision or plat, as amended or changed. Once an approval is confirmed by the City Council, it shall be deemed an acceptance of the proposed plat or dedication of land.

The approval of the plan or plat by the City Council shall be sufficient to entitle the plan or plat to be reviewed for record.
