Upon the filing of a tentative map, it may be submitted to the Office of Intergovernmental Management pursuant to Section 12037 of the Government Code for an evaluation of the environmental impact of the proposed subdivision. If the subdivision in question is a land project as defined by Section 11000.5 of the Business and Professions Code, such submission shall be required prior to approval of the map.

(Ord. 64 § 3 (part), 1975)

A subdivider may file with the city a tentative map for a proposed subdivision of unincorporated territory adjacent to the city. The map, in the discretion of the city, may be acted upon in the manner provided in this chapter, except that if it is approved, such approval shall be conditioned upon annexation of the property to the city within such a period of time as shall be specified by the city, and such approval shall not be effective until annexation of such property to the city has been completed. If annexation is not completed within the time specified or an extension thereof, then the approval of such map by the city shall be null and void. No subdivision of unincorporated territory may be effective by approval of a map by a city unless annexation thereof to the city is completed prior to the approval of the final map thereof.
