13. Such additional information as required by the planning director.

B. Upon receiving a complete application for a partition, notification and review shall be provided as stated in MMC 17.72.110. The director’s decision shall be based upon a finding that the tentative plan substantially conforms to the requirements of this chapter.

C. The planning director may require such dedication of land and easements and may specify such conditions or modifications in the plan as are deemed necessary to carry out the McMinnville comprehensive plan. In no event, however, shall the planning director require greater dedications or conditions than could be required if the entire parcel were subdivided.

1. If the parcel of land to be partitioned, being large in size, shall be divided into more than three parcels within any one calendar year, full compliance with all requirements for a subdivision plat may be required if the planning director should determine, in his judgment, that the entire parcel is in the process of being subdivided.

2. Where a parcel is proposed to be divided into units of one acre or more, the planning director shall require an arrangement of parcels and streets such as to permit future partitions or subdivision in conformity to the street requirements and other requirements contained in this ordinance. Refer to MMC 17.53.080 for future development plan requirements.

D. Approval of a Tentative Partition Plat shall be valid for a one-year period from the effective date of approval. Upon written request, the director may approve a one-year extension of the decision. Additional extensions shall require the approval of the planning commission. (Ord. 4920 §4, 2010).
