Following the notice and action, the advisory agency shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposed application based upon the minimum findings below, and in accordance with the requirements of this title. All decisions of the advisory agency may be appealed in accordance with the appeal procedures of Chapter 18.24.
B. 
The advisory agency may conditionally approve or deny any such application, extension or other entitlement associated with a vesting tentative map if it finds that either:
1. 
A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety or both; or
2. 
The condition imposed or denial of the application is required in order to comply with state or federal law.
(Ord. 2747 § 1, 1993; Ord. 3732 § 3, 2001)
The advisory agency shall make findings reflecting the evidence on the record and take action to either approve, conditionally approve or deny the application.
A. 
Findings for approval of a tentative map (vesting or otherwise):
1. 
The size, design, character, grading, location, orientation and configuration of lots, roads and all improvements for the tentative subdivision map are consistent with the density, uses, circulation and open space systems, applicable policies and standards of the general plan or any applicable specific plan for the area, whichever is more restrictive, and the design standards of this title; and
2. 
The subdivision will result in lots which can be used or built upon. The subdivision will not create lots which are impractical for improvement or use due to the steepness of terrain or location of watercourses in the area; the size or shape of the lots or inadequate building area; inadequate frontage or access; or, some other physical condition of the area; and
3. 
The design and density of the subdivision will not violate the existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the discharge of waste into the sewage system, pursuant to Division 7 of the Water Code.
B. 
Findings for denial of a tentative map (vesting or otherwise):
1. 
The proposed map is not consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan; or
2. 
The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans; or
3. 
The site is not physically suitable for the type of development; or
4. 
The site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development; or
5. 
The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; or
6. 
The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems; or
7. 
The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or 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 these 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 granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
C. 
Additional Findings for a Condominium Conversion. In addition to the findings above, the advisory agency must make the following finding(s) for a tentative map which involves a condominium conversion:
1. 
Findings a—e as listed in Section 66427.1 of the Subdivision Map Act.

A parcel map may be waived by the advisory agency if it is provided with evidence that:
1. 
The site is a portion of the operating right-of-way of a railroad corporation, as defined by Section 230 of the Public Utilities Code, and will be created by a short-term lease (terminable by either party on not more than 30-days' notice); or,
2. 
At least two-thirds of the owners of mobile homes who are tenants in a mobile home park sign a petition as shown in Section 66428.1(b) of the subdivision map act indicating their intent to buy the mobile home park for purposes of converting the park to resident ownership, and a field survey has been performed, the requirement for a final or parcel map shall be waived unless any of the conditions listed in Section 66428.1 of the Subdivision Map Act exist; or
3. 
The land is being conveyed to or from a governmental agency, public entity, public utility, or the land is being conveyed to a subsidiary of a public utility for conveyance to that public utility for rights-of way, unless a showing is made in individual cases, upon substantial evidence, that public policy necessitates a parcel map; or
4. 
The land being divided consists of a lot or parcels shown on a recorded parcel map or final map and the full street improvements, flood and drainage improvements, water supply improvements, sanitary sewer improvements, electrical improvements, natural gas, cable and telephone improvements, have been constructed and dedication of all necessary rights of way and easements have been completed, and monumentation is evident.
C. 
The advisory agency acting upon the tentative map and the request to waive the parcel map shall make the findings of Section 18.06.180. The advisory agency may grant the waiver and will issue a certificate of compliance if:
a. 
The subdivider files an application with the city engineer, including any fees required, verifying the existence of monumentation, the existence of improvements and completion of dedications and easements; and
b. 
The advisory agency finds that the tentative map complies with requirements of this title and the Subdivision Map Act.
D. 
The advisory agency may, pursuant to Chapter 18.14, place conditions in the certificate of compliance to be fulfilled and implemented prior to issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for development of the property.
E. 
Upon the waiver of a parcel map pursuant to this section, the city engineer shall file with the county recorder a certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance in accordance with Section 18.14.020 of this title for each new parcel created.
