| Sturge-Weber Syndrome |
YF-3000.8220 |
A congenital, non-familial disorder of unknown cause that is primarily characterized by a congenital facial birthmark (Port Wine Stain) and neurological abnormalities. Other symptoms associated with SWS can include eye and internal organ irregularities. A Port Wine Stain (PWS) is a vascular capillary malformation birthmark, varying in color from light pink to deep purple, that is caused by an overabundance of capillaries just beneath the surface of the skin. When a PWS covers the first and second trigeminal nerve distribution (the eye and forehead region of the face), the presence of Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is probable. A Port Wine Stain is not the only indicator of SWS and the syndrome can exist without the presence of a detectable Port Wine Stain. A related condition is Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS), a congenital vascular disorder of unknown cause that is characterized by a Port Wine Stain, vascular anomalies, blood in the urine, rectal bleeding, vaginal bleeding or bleeding from an abnormal lesion on an affected limb. |

| Subdivision Plat Review/Approval |
TE-4510.4550-825 |
Programs that evaluate requests to change the boundaries of a specific lot, tract or parcel of land to create larger or smaller divisions for the purpose of development or sale; and which approve or deny requests based on the local general plan, applicable specific/area plans, and zoning, subdivision and other ordinances which govern the design of subdivisions, the size of its lots and the types of infrastructure improvements that are required. The approval process generally involves several stages: a pre-application conference during which the municipality’s code enforcement staff familiarizes the developer with the local development regulations (including impact fees, dedication of land and required infrastructure improvements), reviews a sketch drawing of the proposed project and identifies any potential problems that the proposed subdivision may cause to either public infrastructure systems or other developments; submission and review of a preliminary legal plat (a subdivision map with approximate scale and dimensions); completion of required infrastructure improvements (e.g., roads and sewer and water connections to each lot within the subdivision); and submission, approval and recording of the final plat. The developer generally has the option of securing the required improvements by bond to guarantee their construction. After the subdivision is recorded, individual lots may be sold to different property owners, who then submit a site plan for their proposed project. Site plans may also be submitted by the developer and approval secured prior to a sale. The final step in the process is formal acceptance of the infrastructure improvements by the jurisdiction when all of the required improvements have been made and accepted. |

| Subdivision Regulation |
TE-4525.4600-800 |
Programs that are responsible for developing and implementing subdivision regulations which establish standards for residential and commercial lots, roads (rights-of-way), parkland dedication, drainage and utility easements, and how city services will be extended to each lot. Subdivision regulations eliminate the need for excessive public expenditures by making the developer responsible for the installation of basic public facilities before the recording and sale of lots; and help to conserve natural, scenic, historic and recreational areas. The ordinance generally states its statutory authority, its jurisdiction and its relation to the general plan; and includes a description of the application and approval process, enforcement measures, minimum design standards, minimum infrastructure improvements, acceptance and guarantee of improvements, and violations and applicable penalties. The purpose of subdivision regulation is to implement the provisions of the jurisdiction’s general plan, provide for orderly growth, ensure an accurate legal description when dividing a large parcel into smaller lots for sale and confirm that all necessary infrastructure improvements meet established construction standards. |
