Santa Clara County Municipal Code Part 2 Improvements

Improvement requirements shall be limited to those improvements which are directly related to the proposed development and consistent with similar improvements in the immediate area. When improvements are required, the provisions of Chapter 1 of the County of Santa Clara Subdivision Ordinance shall apply, and in no event shall improvement requirements exceed those provisions. In situations where a grading permit is required, the improvements may be incorporated in the grading plan and permit, at the discretion of the County Surveyor. The County Surveyor may defer street and drainage improvements or require stage improvements commensurate with the development pattern of the neighborhood and with traffic needs for safe and adequate access. The stage improvement design shall take into consideration the number of existing and potential building sites making allowance for future divisions of land. When the County Surveyor determines that the installation of the improvement should be deferred, he may require the property owner to enter into a agreement with the Board of Supervisors pertaining to such deferred improvements.
