1400-105 - CONSIDERATION

(a)

General Plan and Zoning Law. The Sutter County General Plan shall guide the use of all land within the unincorporated area of the County. The size and design of lots, the nature of utilities, the design and improvement of streets, the type and intensity of land use, and the provisions for any special facilities shall conform to the standards established in the General Plan, the zoning ordinance of the County of Sutter, and any applicable specific plan, master plan, community plan, precise plans, and the like.

(b)

Community Facilities. The policies and programs of the General Plan shall be used in evaluating the impact of a subdivision on community facilities. This Chapter establishes procedures for the referral of proposed subdivision data to other departments, interested boards, bureaus and other governmental agencies and utility companies, both public and private, so that the extension of community facilities and utilities may be accomplished in an orderly manner, and coordinated with the development of the subdivision. To facilitate the acquisition of land required to implement this policy, the County may require that the subdivider dedicate land, grant easements, or otherwise reserve land for parks, playgrounds, thoroughfares, utility easements, or any other public facility or purpose.
