Sec. 2. Plat required; conflict with other regulations.
(a) Making, approval and recording of plat. It shall be
unlawful for any owner or proprietor of any tract of land
located within the corporate limits or within three miles of
the corporate limits of the City of Charlottesville to subdivide
the same into two or more parts for the purpose of laying out
any town or city, or any addition thereto, or any part thereof,
or suburban lots without making a plat, securing approval
thereof and recording the same in the proper office of the
clerk of the court wherein deeds are recorded, as provided in
these regulations and the Virginia Land Subdivision Law.[2]
(b) Conference with planning commission. Before preparing
a preliminary plan, a subdivider should confer with the
city engineer or the staff of the city planning commission or
if outside of the city limits, he is advised to confer in the same
manner with the staff of the Albemarle County planning commission
relative to the regulations contained in this ordinance[3]
and the content of the comprehensive city plan.
(c) Conflicting regulations. Whenever regulations contained
in this ordinance are different from regulations contained
in other ordinances, the most restrictive regulations
shall prevail. (1-2-58, § 35-2.)
