(§ II, Ord. 87-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

The tentative map shall be received for filing only when such map conforms to Section 10-4.401.2 of this article and when all accompanying data or reports, as required by Section 10-4.401.3 of this article, have been submitted to and accepted by the Planning Department. The subdivider shall file with the Planning Department the number of tentative maps the Planning Director may deem necessary.

(§ II, Ord. 87-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

The Planning Department shall forward copies of the tentative map to the affected public agencies which, in turn, may forward to the Planning Department their findings and recommendations. Public agencies and utilities shall certify that the subdivision can be adequately served.

Within ten (10) days after the filing of a tentative map, the Planning Department shall send a notice of the filing of the tentative map to the governing board of any elementary, high school, or unified school district within the boundaries of which the subdivision is proposed to be located. The notice shall also contain information about the location of the proposed subdivision, the number of units, the density, and any other information which would be relevant to the affected school district. The governing board may review the notice and may send a written report to the agency required by law to approve the tentative map. The report shall indicate the impact of the proposed subdivision on the affected school district and shall make recommendations as the governing board of the district deems appropriate. In the event the school district fails to respond within a twenty (20) working day period after the receipt of notice of the tentative map, the failure shall be deemed approval of the proposed subdivision by the school district. The Planning Commission shall consider the report from the school district in approving or conditionally approving the tentative map (66455.7).

Upon the completion of the review by the Planning Department and prior to the date the tentative map is scheduled for Planning Commission action, the Planning Department may hold a subdivision conference on

its own initiative. A subdivision conference shall be held if requested by the subdivider. Advance written notice of the subdivision conference shall be given to the subdivider or agent and to all affected agencies. The results of the subdivision conference shall be reported to the Planning Commission. A copy of the report shall be served to the subdivider at least three (3) days prior to any hearing or action on the map by the Planning Commission.

(§ II Ord 87-2 eff. March 12, 1987)

Upon the acceptance of a valid application, the Planning Department shall set the matter for a public hearing. At least ten (10) calendar days before the public hearing, a notice shall be given of the time, date, and place of the hearing, including a general explanation of the matter to be considered, and a general description of the area affected, and the street address, if any, of the property involved (66451.3).

The notice shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the County.

In addition to notice by publication, the Planning Department shall give notice of the hearing by mail or delivery to all persons, including businesses, corporations, or other public or private entities, shown on the last equalized assessment roll as owning real property within 300 feet of the property which is the subject of the proposed application and along all affected easements.

In addition, in the case of a proposed conversion of residential real property to a condominium, community apartment, or stock cooperative project, notice shall be given as required by Section 66451.3 of the Subdivision Map Act.

In the event the proposed application has been requested by a person other than the property owner as such property owner is shown on the last equalized assessment roll, the County shall also give mailed notice to the owner of the property as shown on the last equalized assessment roll.

In addition, notice shall be given by first-class mail to any person who has filed a written request with the secretary of the Planning Commission. The request may be submitted at any time during the calendar year and shall apply for the balance of the calendar year. The County may impose a reasonable fee on persons requesting notice for the purpose of recovering the cost of mailing.

Substantial compliance with the provisions of this section for notice shall be sufficient, and a technical failure to comply shall not affect the validity of any action taken pursuant to the procedures set forth in this article.

The Planning Commission shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the tentative map and shall report its decision to the Board and the subdivider within fifty (50) days after the tentative map has been accepted for filing.

If an environmental impact report is prepared, the decision shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the certification of the environmental impact report.

(§ II, Ord. 87-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

In approving or conditionally approving the tentative map, the Planning Commission shall find that the proposed subdivision, together with its provisions for its design and improvements, is consistent with applicable General or Specific Plans adopted by the County.

The Planning Commission may modify or delete any of the conditions of approval recommended in the Planning Department's report, except conditions required by County laws or standards approved by the Board. The Planning Commission may add additional requirements as a condition of its approval.

If no action is taken by the Planning Commission within the time limit as specified, the tentative map as filed shall be deemed to be approved insofar as it complies with other applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, this chapter, or other County laws, and it shall be the duty of the County Clerk to certify the approval.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10-4.401.6.3 of this article, the Planning Commission may approve a tentative map or tentative parcel map if an environmental impact report was prepared with respect to the project and a finding was made pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code of the State that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.

(§ II, Ord. 87-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

The tentative map may be denied by the Planning Commission on any of the grounds provided by County laws or the Subdivision Map Act. The Planning Commission shall deny approval of the tentative map if the Planning Commission makes any of the following findings (66474):

(a)

That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans;

(b)

That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans;

(c)

That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development;

(d)

That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development;

(e)

That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;

(f)

That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems; or

(g)

That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or the use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements for access or for use will be provided and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or the use of property within the proposed subdivision.

(§ II, Ord. 87-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

If a tentative map is approved or conditionally approved, the Planning Department shall make a written report to the Board. Within ten (10) days, or at its next succeeding regular meeting after the receipt of such report, unless the subdivider consents to a continuance, the Board may review the map and the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission. If the Board decides to review the map and conditions, the Board shall conduct a public hearing after giving notice pursuant to Section 10-4.401.6.1 of this article. In addition, notice shall be given to the subdivider and the Planning Commission. At such hearing the Board may add, modify, or delete conditions when the Board determines that such changes are necessary to insure that the tentative map conforms to zoning conditions imposed upon the property, applicable County laws, and the Subdivision Map Act. The Board may deny the tentative map on any of the grounds set forth in Section 10-4.401.6.3 of this article. If the Board does not act within the time limits set forth in this article, the tentative map shall be deemed to have been approved or conditionally approved as set forth in the Planning Commission's report.

(§ II, Ord. 872, eff. March 12, 1987)

The time limits set forth in Section 10-4.401.6.1 of this article for acting on the tentative map may be extended by the mutual consent of the subdivider and the Planning Commission or the Board.

The Board shall consider the appeal within thirty (30) days or at its first regular meeting subsequent to such appeal, unless the subdivider consents to a continuance. Such appeal shall be a public hearing after notice has been given pursuant to Section 104.401.6.1 of this article. In addition, notice shall be given to the subdivider and the Planning Commission and, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board, within ten (10) days, shall declare its findings. The Board may sustain, modify, reject, or overrule any recommendation or ruling of the Planning Commission and may make findings which are consistent with the provisions of this chapter or the Subdivision Map Act.
