(Ord. 684 § 1, 1975)

The planning commission of the city is made the advisory agency of the city council, as such advisory agency is defined and established by Chapter 2.22 of the Municipal Code of the city and the power is delegated to the advisory agency to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove, and to report such actions on tentative subdivision maps directly to the subdivider.
