- Subdivision Ordinance
-
The subdivision of land is a major factor in the process of achieving sound community development which ultimately becomes a public responsibility, since streets and utilities must be maintained and public services customary to urban areas must be provided. Further, the built environment can enhance or diminish the overall quality of life in the community. Land subdivision is a critical first step in defining the built environment. Therefore, it is to the interest of the public, the developer, and the future owners that subdivisions be conceived, designed and developed in accordance with appropriate design standards and development specifications. It is the intent of these regulations to aid in guiding the growth of the City of Fredericksburg, Texas and its environs in an orderly manner; and to provide attractive, well planned subdivisions with adequate streets, utilities, and building sites in a manner that will be uniformly applied.
