Santa Clara County Municipal Code Part 2 Improvement Requirements

Improvement requirements for subdivisions of four or less parcels shall be limited to the construction of reasonable off-site and on-site improvements for the parcels being created, in accordance with current County standards, including any standards for stage improvements and for private access roads as conditions of approval of the tentative map. Requirements for the construction of such off-site and on-site improvements shall be noticed by certificate on the parcel map, on the instrument evidencing the waiver of such parcel map, or by separate instrument and shall be recorded on, concurrently with, or prior to the parcel map or instrument of waiver of the parcel map being filed for record. Fulfillment of such construction requirements shall not be required until such time as a permit or other grant of approval for development of the parcel is issued by the County or until such time as the construction of such improvements is required pursuant to an agreement between the subdivider and the County, except that in the absence of such an agreement, the County may require fulfillment of such construction requirements within a reasonable time following approval of the parcel map and prior to the issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for the development of a parcel upon a finding by the County that fulfillment of the construction requirements is necessary for reasons of the public health and safety, or that the required construction is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

Improvement requirements for subdivisions of five or more parcels shall be designed in accordance with the current County standards and in compliance with the conditions of the tentative map. If at the time of approval of the final map by the Board of Supervisors, any public improvement required by the County pursuant to this chapter has not been completed and accepted, the Board, as a condition precedent to the approval of the final map, shall require the subdivider to enter into an agreement with the County to thereafter complete such improvements at the subdivider's expense. The agreement shall be secured by good and sufficient improvement security as provided in this chapter.
