Commercial, industrial, and institutional development is similar. A Preliminary Plat is usually not required, and a Final Plat is not required unless subdivision of land is involved. “As-built” and record drawings are not required unless infrastructure improvements are being dedicated for public agency operation and maintenance. The exception is stormwater detention basins, and regulatory authorities often require certification that the basin will function as designed.
