The planning commission shall determine whether the minor subdivision map is in conformity with provisions of law and this title as to design, drainage, road improvements and offers of dedication or deed. Upon this basis they shall, within fifteen days recommend approval, conditional approval or disapproval to the city council. The commission shall report such action direct to the subdivider.
