Ch. XVI Land Subdivision | Clearlake Municipal Code

It is the purpose of this chapter to establish procedures necessary for the implementation of the Vesting Tentative Map Statute, and to supplement the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and Chapter XVI, Land Subdivision. Except as otherwise set forth in the provisions of this Chapter, the provisions of Chapter XVI, Land Subdivision shall apply to the Vesting Tentative Map Ordinance.

To accomplish this purpose, the regulations outlined in this Chapter are determined to be necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare, and for the promotion of orderly growth and development. (Ord. #80, S1-2)

No land shall be subdivided and developed pursuant to a vesting tentative map for any purpose which is inconsistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan or not permitted by the zoning ordinance or other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. (Ord. #80, S1-3)

As used in this Chapter:

VESTING TENTATIVE MAP shall mean a “tentative map” for a residential subdivision, as defined in Chapter XVI, Land Subdivision, that shall have printed conspicuously on its face the words “Vesting Tentative Map” at the time it is filed in accordance with subsection 16-9.2, and is thereafter processed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

All other definitions set forth in Chapter XVI, Land Subdivision are applicable. (Ord. #80, S1-4)

a. This Chapter shall apply only to residential developments. Whenever a provision of the Subdivision Map Act, as implemented and supplemented by Chapter XVI, Land Subdivision, requires the filing of a tentative map or tentative parcel map for a residential development, a vesting tentative map may instead be filed, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

b. If a subdivider does not seek the rights conferred by the Vesting Tentative Map Statute, the filing of a vesting tentative map shall not be a prerequisite to any approval for any proposed subdivision, permit for construction, or work preparatory to construction.

c. This Chapter shall apply to nonresidential subdivision, effective January 1, 1988 unless otherwise limited by the laws of the State of California or the City of Clearlake, on that date. (Ord. #80, S1-5)

The Clearlake Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 286-2026, passed April 2, 2026.
