§ 28-9. TENTATIVE MAPS OF MINOR LAND DIVISIONS AND CERTIFICATES OF EXCEPTION.

A subdivider requesting a Certificate of Exception pursuant to the provisions of subsections 28-1.6 and 28-1.7 shall submit a statement of ownership as specified in subsection 28-9.8 and a plot plan map of the proposed division, based on record data and information on file in the office of the City Engineer, showing sufficient detail to justify an exception to the Planning Director. Off-site access, if required, shall be indicated on the plot plan map.

The Planning Director shall identify, date, and review the plot plan map and within five working days issue a Certificate of Exception or deny approval of the plot plan map. If at any time during the determination

period the Planning Director finds that the plot plan map or supporting documents are improperly prepared or are insufficient to make a determination, and the subdivider is so notified, the determination period may be extended by mutual agreement for a period of time not to exceed 40 days from the date of submission.

Where a subdivider does not possess an easement for off-site access, as required by subsection 28-4.15, the Planning Director may waive the requirement for such easement and approve the plot plan map for design only, provided the Planning Director finds that the subdivider has exhausted every reasonable means to obtain the required easement and that it is probable that the future division of adjacent properties will provide a means of access to the parcels which lack approved access. The Planning Director shall indicate on the approved plot plan map that the division of land does not have approved access.

If a Certificate of Exception is issued, the Planning Director shall forward copies of the approved plot plans to the applicant and to the City Engineer. If a Certificate of Exception is disapproved, the Planning Director shall forward written notice of the disapproval, together with a complete statement of the reasons for the action to the subdivider.

A subdivider need not submit a plot plan map to receive a Certificate of Exception for a minor land division described by paragraph c of subsection 28-1.7 when the subdivider has submitted and received approval for a site plan pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 30, Zoning, setting forth the zoning regulations provided the subdivider requests issuance of the Certificate of Exception at the time the site plan is submitted for approval.

If at any time subsequent to the receipt of a Certificate of Exception for a minor land division the subdivider finds that minor adjustments to the configuration figuration of one or more of the parcels within the division are necessary, and the Planning Director determines that such changes do not constitute a new division of land, the subdivider may file a revised plot plan map. The Planning Director shall process such maps in accordance with the provisions of subsection 28-9.2 except that the determination period shall not be more than five working days.

A subdivider dissatisfied with any action taken by the Planning Director pursuant to the provisions of subsection 28-9.1 and 28-9.2 may file a written appeal with the Planning Commission within 15 days after such action. The Planning Commission shall hear the appeal within 21 days or at its next succeeding regular meeting, unless the subdivider consents to a continuance. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission shall, within seven days, declare its finding based upon the testimony and documents produced before it. It may sustain, modify, reject, or overrule, any action of the Planning Director provided such action is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Chapter or any other applicable law or statute.

The subdivider may appeal any action taken by the Planning Commission pursuant to the provisions of subsection 28-9.3 to the Council by written notice to the City Clerk in the manner prescribed for subdivisions by subsection (b) of Section 11552 of the Subdivision Map Act.

A tentative minor land division map shall be submitted to the Planning Director for transmittal to the
