The Regis ter of Deeds of Douglas County shall not record any plat of a subdivision until such plat bears the endorsement of the Planning Commission.
(b) For property within the incorporated city limits of Law rence, subdividing land for development that requires a building permit or for the establishment of any public street, alley, or easement, after [insert jt. Ord/Res.

This provision shall apply to all property divisions that are not exempt from the subdivision regulations, regardless of their current state of development or lack of devel opment.
