ZONING
The purpose of zoning is to promote the health,
safety, community-accepted standards or morals, and general welfare of the
residents of Dickinson, with a view toward conserving the value of
buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the
City.
Zoning regulations cover a variety of development
issues including land use, dimensional requirements, parking, and signs.
Zoning regulations and amendments should reflect the goals and objectives
of the Land Use Policies. For more information, view the Zoning Ordinance.
In
order to implement the Zoning Ordinance, the City is divided into ten (10)
zoning districts. The geographical boundaries of each district are
identified on a Zoning Map, maintained by the Community
Development Department.
PLATTING
REQUIREMENTS
What
is a Plat?
A plat is a surveyed drawing and description of a
legal building site (or sites) that shows the location, dimensions, and
description of any lots, rights of way, easements, building lines, and
other site features or dedications that affect how a parcel will be
developed. A plat must conform to the requirements outlined in the
Subdivision Ordinance before it can be approved.
When is a Plat Required?
A plat is required when land located within the
City of Dickinson is divided into two or more parts for the purpose of
sale, creating building sites, or creating a subdivision or an addition to
the City, or laying out lots of any nature.
