The Subdivision Committee shall determine whether the proposed subdivision of four or less lots is in general conformity with the provisions of this Article and whether all the proposed lots will have proper and sufficient access to a public street and utilities, and will have proper surface drainage. The Subdivision Committee may approve the map and impose such conditions of approval as it may determine are necessary to provide for a suitable development of the property, except that the Committee may not approve a lot zoned for residential purposes with an average width less than forty feet nor an area of less than five thousand square feet, and it may not approve a lot zoned for commercial or industrial use with an average width of less than twenty-five feet nor an area of less than two thousand five hundred square feet.

The Subdivision Committee shall determine whether the tentative parcel map is in conformity with the provisions of law and of this Article and upon that basis within fifty days after the filing of a tentative parcel map or an extension of time agreeable to the subdivider and the Subdivision Committee, shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the map.

The approval of a tentative parcel map shall become void after a time period of two years if the final parcel map is not approved and recorded within said time period. Upon written request, the Subdivision Committee may grant an extension of time not to exceed one year beyond the original time period.

The Subdivision Committee may require that all the provisions of this Article pertaining to subdivision into five or more lots be complied with where it is the opinion of the Subdivision Committee that the intent is to ultimately subdivide into five or more lots.

(Ord. 2248 2-17-76; Ord. 2414 1-26-82)

In the event the subdivider is not satisfied with the decision of the Subdivision Committee or with any conditions to which the approval of the map is subject, he or she may appeal to the Planning Board. At its next regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose by the Planning Board, the map shall be reviewed by the Board. After considering the map and hearing the appellant and a member of the Subdivision Committee, the Planning Board may concur with the decision of and the conditions imposed by the Subdivision Committee, or it may disapprove the map, or it may approve the map and impose such conditions of approval as it may determine are necessary to provide for a suitable development of the property irrespective of the conditions imposed by the Subdivision Committee.

In the event the Subdivision Committee approves or conditionally approves any tentative parcel maps the subdivider may cause a parcel map to be prepared in accordance with the tentative parcel map as approved. Parcel maps shall meet all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this Article and shall show all dedications or offers of dedication thereon. The Subdivision Committee may require that such dedications or offers of dedication be made by deed in lieu of or in addition to those appearing on the map.

After a parcel map has been filed with the Planning and Building Department Director he or she shall immediately transmit the Parcel Map to the Public Works Director for his examination. Within twenty days after receiving the parcel map, the Public Works Director shall examine it for the survey information shown thereon, and if satisfied that it is technically correct, place a Public Works Director's certificate on the map stating that the map conforms with the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, and City regulations. Upon approval of the map by the Public Works Director, the map shall be returned to the Planning and Development Director for transmittal to the County Recorder's Office in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act.

The Public Works Director may require that a parcel map be based upon a field survey made in conformity with the Land Surveyor's Act. The Planning and Building Department Director may require a certificate, signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the real property subdivided, consenting to the preparation and recordation of the parcel map. If such a certificate is required it shall meet all the requirements of Section 66436 of the Subdivision Map Act.
