No parcel or tentative map filed under this title shall be approved until an environmental impact analysis is prepared, processed and considered. The subdivider shall provide such additional data and information and deposit and pay such fees as may be required by resolution of the city council for the preparation and processing of environmental documents.

(Ord. 492 § 1, 1986)

All costs and expenses incurred by the city in connection with the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a subdivision project, or for multiple or phased subdivision projects, shall be reimbursed by the developer of such subdivision as a condition of approval of the tentative map for the subdivision.

(Ord. 492 § 1, 1986)

The city manager, or another authorized officer of the city, shall keep a full and accurate account of all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with a subdivision project, and shall render a written statement or statements of the same to the developer of the project. Payment shall be due to the city at the time the statement is rendered.

(Ord. 492 § 1, 1986)

Where a number of individual subdivision projects are, or a phased project is, to be undertaken, and where the city elects to prepare a single program EIR for the total undertaking pursuant to the provisions of California Administrative Code Sections 15165 and 15168, the costs incurred for environmental review and the preparation of the EIR shall be apportioned among the several individual subdivision projects in the following manner:

(1) Such apportionment shall be made only as to include projects which are subject to environmental review within a period of ten years from the date of certification of the single program EIR.

(2) Apportionment shall be in the ratio that the number of acres of land in the included individual or phased project bears to the total number of acres of land covered by the single program EIR.

(Ord. 492 § 1, 1986)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.38.040 of this chapter, when an individual project requires the preparation of a separate or supplemental EIR because of new significant environmental impacts not considered in a previous EIR (including, but not limited to, a previous single program EIR), all costs and expenses incurred by the city in connection with the preparation of such separate or supplemental EIR shall be reimbursed by the developer of such individual project as provided in Section 16.38.010 above.
