§ 16.20

The subdivider shall file with the city manager twenty copies of the tentative map and pay the necessary fees. Thereafter, the city clerk shall furnish copies of the tentative map to the advisory agency, the city engineer, the chief of the fire department, the county health department, and other departments and agencies which the advisory agency has determined may have an interest in the proposed subdivision. Said departments and agencies shall make an examination of the map and property and report such findings and recommendations to the advisory agency. Such reports shall be made within twenty-three calendar days after the filing of the map or within such additional time as the advisory agency may approve. Failure to submit a report within the time limits specified in this section may be construed as the indication that no recommendation concerning the tentative map is to be made.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8421)

A.

Procedure Prior to Action. Any report or recommendation on a tentative map by the staff of the local agency to the advisory agency or legislative body shall be in writing and a copy thereof served on the subdivider at least three days prior to any hearing or action on such map by such advisory agency or legislative body.

B.

Notification of Action. When the advisory agency takes action on the tentative map, the subdivider shall be notified in writing and a marked copy of the tentative map shall be returned to him. The city engineer and the departments shall be notified of the action of the advisory agency.

(Ord. 734 § 5, 1978: Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8424)

The advisory agency shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the tentative map within fifty calendar days after filing of the map with city or within such additional time as mutually agreed upon by the advisory agency and the subdivider.

(Ord. 734 § 4, 1978: Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8422)

The advisory agency may disapprove a tentative map because of flood hazard, inundation, lack of adequate access, lack of adequate water supply or fire protection, insufficient sewerage facilities, potentially hazardous geological conditions or noncompliance with the requirements of this title, the Subdivision Map Act, or adopted standards, rules or regulations. When the advisory agency has disapproved a tentative map of a proposed subdivision, it may subsequently approve a new tentative map layout for the same property if, in its opinion, arrangements have been made to correct the conditions which were the cause of the original disapproval.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8423)

An appeal from the decision of the advisory agency may be made to the city council within fifteen calendar days after the date of said decision. The appeal shall be filed with the city clerk. The city council shall hold a public hearing on such appeal within ten calendar days from the date of such appeal, and shall declare its findings within seven calendar days thereafter. The decision of the city council shall be final. It shall require a majority vote of the entire city council to overrule the decision of the advisory agency.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8425)

A.

If no action is taken upon a tentative map by an advisory agency which is authorized by local ordinance to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map or by the legislative body within the time limits specified in this chapter, or any authorized extension thereof, the tentative map as filed shall be deemed to be approved, insofar as it complies with other applicable requirements of this title and local ordinance, and it shall be the duty of the clerk of the legislative body to certify such approval.

B.

If the legislative body fails to act upon an appeal within the time limit specified in this chapter, the tentative map, insofar as it complies with applicable requirements of this title and local ordinance, shall be deemed to be approved or conditionally approved as last approved or conditionally approved, and it shall be the duty of the clerk of the legislative body to certify such approval.

(Ord. 734 § 9, 1978: prior code § 8429)

Any of the time limits specified in this chapter may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the advisory agency or city council, as the case may be.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8426)

Chapter 16.24 - FINAL MAP

16.24.010 - Time limit for filing and recording.

After the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, the subdivider shall cause the proposed subdivision to be accurately surveyed and a final map thereof prepared and filed with the city engineer. The failure of a subdivider to file such map with the city engineer and to have said map recorded in the office of the county recorder within three years after the date of approval of the tentative map shall automatically terminate and void the proceedings. The time limit for such filing and recording may be extended by the city council for a period not exceeding three years unless permitted by an extension granted to state law or by any development permit extension granted by the City Council by ordinance.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8431)

B.

Approval by Failure to Act. If the legislative body does not approve or disapprove the map within the prescribed time, or any authorized extension thereof, and the map conforms to all said requirements and rulings, it shall be deemed approved, and the clerk of the legislative body shall certify its approval thereon.
