CHAPTER 498
An Act to amend and reenact § 15.1-475 of the Code of Virginia, relating
to submission of plats of proposed subdivisions for approval.
[H 506]
Approved March 31, 1964
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. p That § 15.1-475 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:
§ 15.1-475. Whenever the owner or proprietor of any tract of land
located within any territory to which a subdivision ordinance applies
desires to subdivide the same, he shall submit a plat of the proposed
subdivision to the local commission of the county or municipality, or an
agent designated by the governing body thereof for such purpose. When
the land involved lies wholly or partly within an area subject to the
joint control of more than one political subdivision, the plat shall be
submitted to the local commission or other designated agent of the
political subdivision in which the tract of land is located.
If a local commission or other agent fails to approve or disapprove
the proposed plat within * sixty days after it has been officially submitted
for approval the subdivider, after ten days’ written notice to the com-
mission, or agent, may petition the circuit or corporation court of the
county or municipality in which the land involved, or the major part
thereof, is located, to decide whether the plat should or should not be
approved. The court shall hear the matter and make and enter such order
with respect thereto as it deems proper.
If a local commission or other agent disapproves a plat and the sub-
divider contends that such disapproval was not properly based on the
ordinance applicable thereto, or was arbitrary or capricious, he may
appeal to the circuit or corporation court having jurisdiction of such
land and the court shall hear and determine the case as soon as may be.
Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prohibit the local governing
body from providing in its ordinance for the submission of preliminary
subdivision plats for tentative approval under such rules of preparation
and procedure as may be set forth in said ordinance.
