2018-0017) as required by UDC 11-6B-3D.2. The number of building lots is the same and the number of
common lots has reduced by two. The reduction in the number of common lots doesn’t not equal a reduction in
open psace. The applicant is providing the same amount that was approved with the preliminary plat. Therefore,
Staff deems the final plat to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as required.
