Sec. 2.01 [Amended 8/15/79, 9/16/87] The following rules and regulations to control the subdivision or resubdivision of land in the City of Norwalk are prescribed pursuant to the authority granted in the Connecticut General Statutes; Title 8, Chapter 126.

As provided in said Acts, no subdivision or resubdivision, public or private, shall be authorized until its character and extent has been submitted to and approved by the Commission.

The Commission by prescribing these regulations, intends to insure, so far as is possible, the continued health, safety and general welfare of the City under the conditions resulting from the development of vacant land with particular regard to the creation of properly designed, safe and sanitary building lots; the adequacy, proper location and design of streets; the provision of utility services and proper erosion and sedimentation controls until disturbed areas are reestablished; and, in general, the promotion of the orderly and economical development of the community so as to avoid any undue burden on the Municipality or its financial resources.

Sec. 2.02 Before any subdivision or resubdivision of land can be filed in the Norwalk Land Records, and before building or zoning permits for the placement and erection of structures on any parcel created by the division of land can be issued, such subdivision or resubdivision shall be submitted to the Commission, and processed according to the Subdivision and Resubdivision Regulations.
