NCD-3 requires a "building site" in existence as of Sept 24, 2005 may only be diminished in size by Warrant. "Building site" is further defined as "one or more lots or portions of lots that are aggregated to form a single family residential site including vacant Tots and all permissible accessory uses and structures." Since the land is unplatted, it doesn't consist of lots or portions thereof. Additionally, as it is unplatted, there is no aggregation. Lastly, NCD-3 provides that: "Wherever an existing single-family residence or lawful accessory building(s) or structure(s) is located on one or more platted lots or portions thereof, such lots shall thereafter constitute only one building site and no permit shall be issued for the construction of more than one single-family residence except by Warrant." Though there was a single family home on the site, the land was unplatted and therefore did not constitute a building site under the NCD-3 overlay. This was done on at least one other t-plat of unplatted land. For the sake of consistency, we are recommending not applying the Warrant requirement to unplatted land in NCD-3. it still applies to platted lots, including any case where the applicant submits a t-plat to replat partially platted land and partially unplatted land. As your Battersea t-plat is only unplatted lands, a Warrant is not required. Thank you. Daniel S.
