§ 16.16

Design standards for subdivision improvements shall be adopted by the city council upon recommendation of the advisory agency.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8412)

Except as provided in this chapter, subdivisions and improvements shall be designed in accordance with the design standards in effect as of the date of approval of the tentative map.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8413)

Each tentative map shall be so designed that there is substantial compliance with the general plan.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8411)

In the event certain streets, alleys or easements in a subdivision are to be reserved for future public use and have been approved as to location and width, they shall be indicated on the final map and offered for dedication as future streets, future alleys, or future easements. Proper certificates providing that the city may accept the offer to dedicate such easement at any time shall be shown on the final map.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8414)

Provision shall be made for the extension of streets in adjoining tracts.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8415)

Areas designated by resolution of the city council as potentially dangerous by reason of geological conditions, or which are subject to inundation, overflow by stormwater, or any other potentially dangerous condition, shall not be subdivided except when approved by the advisory agency after recommendation of the city engineer. Final maps of such areas shall delineate the extent of such potential danger.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8416)

A preliminary grading plan may be required with the tentative map of any subdivision. In potentially dangerous areas or any other areas where it appears to the advisory agency, upon recommendation of the city engineer, that cuts or fills which would occur in the grading of the property may be contrary to the objectives of these regulations, the advisory agency may require that the subdivider submit grading plans for all or part of the tract before the action on the tentative map can be taken. Failure to furnish such

grading plan necessary to complete the investigation of the tentative map within the time specified in the written notice requesting its submission shall be cause for the disapproval of the tentative map unless the time for acting on said map is extended by mutual consent. If the changes in the design of the lots or streets system can be made to correct the conditions mentioned in this section, either by increased lot sizes or changes in grades, such modifications shall be made.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8417)
