3. Fulfillment of such construction requirements shall not be required until such time as a permit or other grant of approval for development of the parcel is issued by the city or, until such time as the construction of such improvements is required pursuant to an agreement between the subdivider and the city, except that in the absence of such an agreement, fulfillment of such construction requirements shall be required within a reasonable time following approval of the parcel map and prior to the issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for the development of a parcel upon a finding by the planning commission that fulfillment of the construction requirements is necessary for reasons of:

a. The public health and safety, or

b. The required construction is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.

(Ord. 297 § 10, 1981; Ord. 247 § 27, 1978; prior code § 10110)

A. All maps filed pursuant to this title shall comply with all terms, conditions, and provisions of Chapter 8.48 of this municipal code. In the event that any such map shall be presented for filing without first:

1. Obtaining determination that no environmental impact report shall be required under Section 8.48.050; or

2. The obtaining of a determination that the proposed subdivision does not have a significant environmental impact under Sections 8.48.060 through 8.48.130; or

3. The preparation of an environmental impact report;

B. It shall be the duty of the city officers to refuse to file the map. In the event that the proposed subdivider shall insist that the map be filed without compliance with Chapter 8.48, the map shall be summarily denied by all appropriate city agencies and the city council by reason of such failure.

(Prior code § 10115)

No parcel or tentative map filed pursuant to the provisions of this title shall be approved until an environmental impact analysis is prepared, processed and considered in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 8.48 of this code. The subdivider shall provide such additional data and information and deposit and pay such fees as may be required for the preparation and processing of environmental review documents.

(Prior code § 10801)

Every map approved pursuant to this title shall be conditioned on compliance with the requirements for grading and erosion control, including the prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site property, set forth in Chapter 8.36 of this code.

(Prior code § 10802)

Every person submitting a tentative map, final map or parcel map shall pay standard processing fees in amounts prescribed by resolution of the city council.

(Prior code § 10109)

A. Maps required to be approved by this title shall be disapproved and denied if any of the following findings are made:

1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans;

2. That the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans;

3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development;

4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development;

5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat;

6. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvement is likely to cause serious public health problems;

7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public-at-large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the city council (or in the case of parcel maps, the advisory agency) may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subdivision shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted the city council or advisory agency to determine that the public at large as acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;

8. A map shall be disapproved if it fails to meet or perform any of the requirements or conditions imposed under the Subdivision Map Act or this title. In the case of a final map, the foregoing sentence shall only apply with respect to provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or of this title which were applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map.

B. The provisions of this section may be waived when the failure of or defect in the map is the result of a technical and inadvertent error which does not materially affect the validity of the map.

C. The city council shall not deny approval of a final subdivision map pursuant to this section if it has previously approved a tentative map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the final map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map.

D. Unless applicable general or specific plans contain definite objectives and policies, specifically directed to the conversion of existing buildings into condominium projects, the provisions of this section shall not apply to condominium projects which consist of the subdivision of airspace in an existing structure, unless new units are to be constructed or added.

(Ord. 247 § 28 (part), 1978: prior code § 10112)

A tentative map or parcel map may be denied, but shall not be required to be denied, on the same grounds that it could be denied by either the Regional Coastal Zone Commission or the California Coastal Commission under the California Coastal Act.

(Ord. 247 § 29, 1978: prior code § 10112.1)

The following factors may be grounds for making the findings required by Section 16.12.050 for disapproval of the map:

A. The existence of easements or rights-of-way along or across proposed streets, unless the rights of the owners of such easements or rights-of-way are expressly subordinated by an instrument in writing capable of being legally recorded in the office of the county recorder which, in the case of facilities installed previously or to be installed later, shall provide that necessary relocation shall be accomplished without cost to the city;

B. Lack of adequate width or improvement of access roads to the property, creation of a landlocked lot or parcel without frontage on a street or other approved ingress and egress from the street;

C. Cuts or fills having such steep slopes or great heights as to be unsafe under the circumstances;

D. Potential creation of hazard to life or property from floods, fire or other catastrophe;

E. Nonconformance with any officially adopted alignment of a state highway officially approved or adopted by the State Highway Commission;

F. Creation of a lot or lots which have a ratio of depth to width in excess of three to one;

G. Improper subdivision design creating traffic, health or safety hazards;

H. Discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community sewer system that would result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 1300) of the Water Code. In the event that the city council (or in the case of a parcel map, the advisory agency) finds that the proposed waste discharge would result in or add to violation of requirements of such board, it may disapprove the tentative map or final map of the subdivision.

(Prior code § 10114)

No tentative subdivision map may be approved pursuant to this title unless the city council finds that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvements, is consistent with the city's general plan or any adopted specific plan. Such a finding of consistency shall be made only if the proposed subdivision or land use is compatible with the objectives, policies and general land uses and programs specified in such plan. Such consistency may be found, conditionally, based upon a proposed amendment to such plan approval. In the case of parcel maps, no parcel map shall be approved unless the advisory agency makes similar findings. This finding shall not be required of a condominium project which consists of a subdivision of air space in an existing building, unless new units are to be constructed or added.

(Ord. 247 § 28 (part), 1978: prior code § 10111)

Tentative maps shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with all applicable state and city laws. The office of the planning department is designated as the place to file tentative maps.

One copy of each such report shall be forwarded by the department or agency to the subdivider and one copy to the engineer at least five days prior to the date the advisory agency is to take action.

(Prior code § 10204)

When the required number of copies of a tentative map and accompanying reports have been submitted to the planning department, such map and reports shall be examined by the planning department staff in accordance with the procedures set forth in the improvement standards and specifications provided for in Chapter 16.16 of this title, to determine whether or not the map and reports contain all the required information, and the environmental impact requirements have been complied with and are acceptable for filing. The date upon which they are found to be acceptable shall be placed on the map and considered the filing date. Whenever a tentative map is found to be not acceptable for filing, the person submitting the map shall be notified of the reasons therefor.

(Prior code § 10209)

A tentative map including land in the unincorporated territory of the county may be filed with the city and processed in accordance with Government Code Section 66454 and as set forth in this title. Approval of any such map shall be conditioned upon annexation of the property to the city within a specified period of time and such approval shall not be effective until annexation of such property to the city has been completed. If annexation is not completed within the time specified or any extension thereof, the approval of such map shall be null and void. No final map based upon the tentative map may be prepared or recorded prior to the annexation of such land into the city.

(Prior code § 10210)

All tentative maps shall conform with all applicable design requirements specified in this title. Further, all tentative maps shall, in design, conform to or be compatible with all applicable improvement requirements set forth in this title. Unless otherwise specified, design requirements and improvement requirements may be modified or waived only by the council.

A. The planning commission is authorized to recommend the kinds, nature and extent of design improvements to be required in subdivisions and report its action to the city council. The planning commission shall take action on a tentative map within fifty days after the filing thereof. If the planning commission has not held a public hearing on a tentative map, the subdivider may file an application for such a hearing within ten days after the planning commission has rendered its decision. Such hearing shall thereafter be held before the planning commission within twenty-two days after the filing of the application. The filing of an application for such a public hearing shall constitute agreement by the subdivider to an extension of the time within which the planning commission is required to act on the tentative map to and including the next regular meeting of the planning commission and the day after the date of the hearing. The action of the planning commission following the hearing held by it shall supersede all prior actions with respect to the tentative map concerned.

B. At the next regular meeting of the city council following the filing of the planning commission's report on the tentative map with it, the city council should fix the date within thirty days on which city council shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map. In the event the subdivider shall desire a public hearing, he may request the same within fifteen days after the action of the planning commission. Such a request should be filed with the city clerk. If such request for a public hearing is granted by the city council, the hearing shall be held within thirty days after the filing of the request for a public hearing and the city council shall make its ruling within ten days after the conclusion of the hearing. The action of the subdivider in requesting a hearing shall be deemed to consent to the extension of time, if any is required, by the foregoing procedure.

C. Any of the time limits specified herein for acting on maps or holding public hearings may be extended by mutual oral or written consent of the subdivider and the planning commission or city council, whichever is required to act.

D. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66452.3, any report or recommendation on a tentative map by the city staff to the planning commission or city council shall be in writing and copy thereof served on the subdivider at least three days prior to any hearing or action on the tentative map.
