COMPTON

§ 28-7.8

The final map or parcel map shall conform to the approved tentative map and to the requirements and conditions contained on the report approving the tentative map. No final map or parcel map shall be accepted by the City Engineer unless a tentative map has been approved by the Planning Commission.

Final maps and parcel maps shall be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer or licensed surveyor.

Final maps and parcel maps shall be submitted to the City Engineer. The subdivider shall submit 10 copies of the final map or parcel map to permit the City Engineer to furnish copies to City officers and departments and to other public agencies which, in the opinion of the City Engineer, may have an interest in the proposed division of land.

Each officer or department, within 15 days after the receipt of a print of a final map or parcel map, shall report in writing to the City Engineer as to the compliance or noncompliance of such map with the approved, or conditionally approved, tentative map, together with a statement of the changes necessary thereon to cause such map to comply.

No land shall be divided on any single map sheet where such land is separated or divided into two or more parcels or portions by any parcel of land other than a street, alley, railroad right-of-way, public utility rightof-way, or flood control right-of-way, and, where such land is so separated, each parcel or portion thereof, if divided, shall be divided as a separate parcel and shown on a separate map.

Parcels of land intended for public use in a division of land shall be dedicated or offered for dedication to the City on the final map or parcel map. Dedications or offers required for parcel maps shall be in accordance with the provisions of subsection 28-8.21. Where applicable, the Planning Commission may require the following dedications:

• a. Natural Watercourses. In the event a division of land or any part thereof is traversed by any major watercourse, channel, stream, swale, or creek, the subdivider shall dedicate an adequate right-of-way for storm drainage purposes if, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, such dedication is necessary.

• b. Drainage Facilities. If an artificial drainage facility is necessary for the general use of lot owners in the division of land and for adequate drainage needs, the subdivider shall dedicate an adequate rightof-way for such drainage channel.

• c. Sewers and Storm Drains. If, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, either sewers or storm drains or both are necessary for the general use of lot owners in the division of land, and such sewers or storm drains or both are not to be installed in the streets of such division of land, the subdivider shall show upon the maps and dedicate necessary easements for such sewers, storm drains, or both.

LAND SUBDIVISION

§ 28-8.1

• d. Private Streets. With the approval of the Council, any street or highway which is intended to be kept physically closed to public travel or posted as a private street at all times may be shown as a private street, but in any such case the final map shall contain a conditional offer of dedication, or, in the case of a parcel map, shall be accompanied by a conditional offer of dedication by separate instrument which may be accepted by the Council at such time as the street shall have ceased to remain so physically closed or posted and shall have been opened to public travel for a period of three months or more. Any such private street shall be shown on such map by heavy dashed lines. Sufficient data shall be shown on each private street to define its boundaries, as is required for a public street, and sufficient mathematical data to show clearly the portion of each lot within such street shall be shown.

• e. Future Streets. Wherever the Planning Commission shall have determined that a street is necessary for the future division of property as shown on the tentative map or for adjoining property, but that the present dedication and construction of such street is not warranted, the Planning Commission may require that the location, width, and extent of such street shall be shown on the final map or parcel map as a future street.

• f. Fire Fighting Access Easements. In areas where, in the opinion of the Fire Department, there will be a fire hazard to the watershed or any other properties, unobstructed fire protection equipment access easements not less than 15 feet wide shall be dedicated from the public street or highway to the boundary of the division of land.

• g. Access Rights. Access rights to all major or secondary highways and to one street for all double frontage lots, except corner lots, shall be dedicated to the City unless an alternate design is approved by the City.

• h. Restricted Use Areas. If any portion of a lot or lots is subject to restricted uses, as set forth in subsection 27-8.12, the subdivider shall dedicate to the City the right to restrict the erection of buildings or other structures within those portions of the lots subject to the restricted use.

In the event an easement for any right-of-way required under the provisions of this Chapter, in connection with any proposed division of land, is in the process of condemnation by the City at the time of the submission of any final map or parcel map, the subdivider, in lieu of offering such right-of-way and prior to the approval of such final map or certification of such parcel map, shall submit to the City Engineer a deed granting such easement to the City on the condition that such condemnation proceedings are abandoned, together with a contract and bond as provided by subsections 28-6.19 and 28-11.6.

In the event that such condemnation proceedings shall be completed such deed, contract, and bond shall be returned to the subdivider. In the event that such condemnation proceedings are abandoned such deed, contract, and bond shall be delivered by the City Engineer to the Council for acceptance.
