Requirements for approval of a tentative parcel map by the planning commission shall be those set forth in Section 15.20.090 of this title.

(Ord. 586 § 2 (part), 1983)

The planning commission may require as a condition of approval of the tentative parcel map the dedication of necessary rights-of-way for streets and utilities, the installation of utilities and utility connections to each lot, and reasonable conditions necessary to protect future residents from odor, noise, dust or glare. The planning commission may also impose as a condition to approval the construction of any or all improvements authorized by Section 66419 of the Government Code.

(Ord. 586 § 2(part), 1983).

15.12.070 - Security.

If the planning commission approves the tentative parcel map, it may grant the subdivider a period of time after recording of the parcel map in which to complete the installation of the public improvements required as a condition to such approval. If a time period is so granted, the city council shall require improvement security to be posted in one of the forms set forth in Chapter 15.26.

(Ord. 586 § 2(part), 1983)

Whenever the city has adopted a drainage plan for a specific drainage basin, any subdivider filing a tentative parcel map for land, any part of which is located within the boundaries of the drainage basin, shall pay to the city at the time of filing of the parcel map the drainage structure construction charge or fee as may be hereafter established by the city council by resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 66483 of the Government Code of the state of California.

(Ord. 586 § 2 (part), 1983).

Extension. The person filing the tentative parcel map may request an extension of the tentative parcel map approval by written application to the planning department. The application must be filed before expiration of the original approval. The application shall state the reasons for requesting an extension. New conditions may be imposed and existing conditions may be revised as a condition to granting the extensions.

(c)

Time Limit on Extensions. An extension or extensions of a tentative parcel map approval shall not exceed a total of one year. Modification of a tentative parcel map after previous approval may not extend this time limit, so that no extension is possible beyond three years from the date of original approval of the tentative parcel map.
