§ 17.16

Prior to environmental review and filing of an application for a subdivision, the applicant is encouraged to submit a preliminary plan or map with such supplementary data as may be available in order to determine the practical feasibility of the proposed subdivision in relationship to the elements of the general plan, including the acquisition by the subdivider of necessary off-site rights, and the installation of improvements as required in this title.

(Ord. 1672 § 2 (part), 1993: Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

The submission of a preliminary plan or map shall not require formal application, fee or filing of the map with the city planning commission.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

After a prearranged conference with the subdivider, the subdivision review committee shall inform the subdivider whether the plans and data as submitted or as modified do or do not appear to meet the objectives of the general plan and this title. When the subdivision review committee finds the plans and data do not appear to meet the objectives of these regulations, it shall express its reasons in writing to the subdivider. Any finding by the subdivision review committee shall not preclude the filing by the subdivider of a tentative map.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

The preliminary plan or map and the conference in connection with its review is optional with the subdivider and is not required by this title. Experience indicates that by following the procedure in Sections 17.16.010 through 17.16.030 of this chapter, the subdivider will save time and expenses and he is, therefor, encouraged to follow it.
