The governing body of a county or a city may, as provided in ORS 92.048 (Procedure for adoption of regulations under ORS 92.044 and 92.046), when reasonably necessary to accomplish the orderly development of the land within the jurisdiction of such county or city under ORS 92.042 (Governing body having jurisdiction to approve plans, maps or plats) and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the county or city, adopt regulations or ordinances governing approval, by the county or city of proposed partitions. Such regulations or ordinances shall be applicable throughout the area over which the county or city has jurisdiction under ORS 92.042 (Governing body having jurisdiction to approve plans, maps or plats), or over any portion thereof. Such ordinances or regulations may specify the classifications of such partitions which require approval under this section and may establish standards and procedures governing the approval of tentative plans for such partitions. The standards may include all, or less than all, of the same requirements as are provided or authorized for subdivisions under ORS 92.010 (Definitions for ORS 92.010 to 92.192) to 92.192 (Property line adjustment) and may provide for different standards and procedures for different classifications of such partitions so long as the standards are no more stringent than are imposed by the city or county in connection with subdivisions.(2)
Such ordinances or regulations may establish the form and contents of the tentative plans of partitions submitted for approval.(3)
