A. Classification. The Planner shall classify each project as a major or minor subdivision.

(1) Minor subdivisions shall involve projects with four or fewer lots.
(2) Major subdivisions shall involve projects with five or more lots.
(3) An applicant may request that the Planner classify an application prior to its submission. In this case, the applicant must make a written request for a classification. This request must include the following information:

(a) The names and addresses of the record owner and the applicant and the applicant's legal interest in the property.
(b) The location of the project, including the Tax Map and lot number.
(c) A brief description of the proposed activities in such detail as to allow a classification to be made.
 

B. Notification. Within 10 working days of the receipt of a subdivision application, the Planner shall notify the applicant of the classification of the project, in writing. When the Planner has classified a project based upon a request for classification rather than an application, the subsequent application must be consistent with the activities described in the request for classification. The Planner shall review such application to determine if the classification is still correct and may reclassify the application if the scope of activities has been changed.

See Article 9: Subdivision Review for detailed information.
