MCC §18.32.020

Exceptions to Subdivision Standards

Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗

This section lets the county director approve flexible design rules for certain approved developments, like planned communities or historic districts, when normal subdivision standards don't fit. But the county will not accept donated roads or utilities unless they fully meet this title, and underground utilities need a clear 10-foot open strip on each side.
