(C) Resubmittal to City Engineer. The subdivider's engineer shall submit a reproducible copy of the revised map, and two sets of reports and data to the City Engineer. After checking the revisions, one set shall be returned to the subdivider's engineer marked approved as submitted, approved when corrected as noted or revise and resubmit.

(D) Approval by the City Engineer.

(1) Upon receipt of an approved print from the City Engineer, the subdivider shall submit the original tracing of the revised map, prepared in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter and corrected to its final form, and signed by all parties required by the Map Act and this chapter to execute the certificates on the map, to the City Engineer.

(2) The City Engineer and the secretary of the Planning Commission shall sign the appropriate certificates and transmit the original to the City Clerk.

(E) Approval or denial by City Council.

(1) Approval.

(a) The final map upon execution by the City Engineer and the secretary of the Planning Commission, together with the subdivision improvement agreement, shall be placed on the Council agenda for their approval. The City Council shall consider the final map for approval within 10 days after filing with the City Clerk, or at its next regular meeting at which it received the map, whichever is later. The City Council shall have approved the subdivision improvement agreement before approving the final map.

(b) If the subdivision improvement agreement and final map are approved by the City Council, it shall instruct the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the city. If the subdivision improvement agreement and/or final map is unacceptable, the Council shall make their recommended corrections, instruct the City Engineer to draft a new agreement and/or revise the final map and defer approval until an acceptable agreement and/or final map has been resubmitted.

(2) Denial .

(a) The City Council shall deny approval of the final map upon making any of the findings contained in § 154.040(C) of this chapter.

(b) The City Council shall not deny approval of the final map 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.

(F) Filing with the County Recorder. Upon approval of the final map by the City Council and receipt of the improvement security by the City Engineer, the City Clerk shall execute the appropriate certificate on the certificate sheet and forward the map, or have an authorized agent forward the map to the Clerk of the County Board of Supervisors for transmittal to the County Recorder.

(G) Submittal by units. Multiple final maps relating to an approved or conditionally approved tentative map may be filed prior to the expiration of the tentative map; provided, however, that the subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the Director of Community Development of the subdivider's intention to file multiple final maps on the tentative map. In providing such notice the subdivider shall not be required to define the number of configuration of the proposed multiple maps. However, the Planning Commission shall approve the sequence of map approvals. The filing of a final map on a portion of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall not invalidate any part of the tentative map. Each final map which constitutes a part, or unit, of the approved tentative map shall have a separate subdivision number. The subdivision improvement agreement to be executed by the subdivider shall provide for the construction of such improvements as may be required to constitute a logical and orderly development of the whole subdivision by units.
