After approval of the tentative map by the planning commission, the subdivider may cause a final map to be prepared in accordance with a completed survey of the subdivision and in substantial compliance with the approved tentative map and in full compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and the supplemental requirements of the city.
(Ord. 1208, 1983)
After receipt of the report of the planning commission approving or conditionally approving the tentative map, the subdivider may, within twenty-four months from the date of such approval, file a final map as provided in this chapter.
(Ord. 1208, 1983)
A. 
Upon written application filed with the city planning department within the twenty-four-month period following approval or conditional approval of a tentative subdivision tract map by the planning commission, and prior to its expiration, extensions beyond the twenty-four-month period may be approved by the planning commission. The sum of all extensions granted by the planning commission shall not exceed a total of thirty-six months. The secretary of the planning commission shall notify the applicant or subdivider of the respective actions of the planning commission.
B. 
If the planning commission denies the applicant's or subdivider's application for extension, the applicant or subdivider may appeal to the city council within ten days after the planning commission has denied the extension.
C. 
At the time the tentative tract map is extended or recommended for extension, the planning commission may require any new conditions it deems appropriate as a condition of the extension.
(Ord. 1208, 1983)
If no final map for all or any of the land shown on the approved tentative map is recorded within the initial twenty-four-month approval period or within any subsequent extensions as provided in Section 17.16.030, then all proceedings shall terminate and no final tract map shall be filed or recorded without first processing a new tentative tract map.
(Ord. 1208, 1983)
Copies of the final map for checking shall be submitted in accordance with requirements of the city engineer. When the map is found to be correct, the necessary bond filed to guarantee installation of required improvements and the subdivider's agreement filed, the final map will be presented to the city council for approval of the map and acceptance of the offer of dedication. Upon approval of the map by the city council, it will be certified by the city engineer and the city clerk and returned to the subdivider for recording.
(Ord. 939, 1976)
A filing fee to cover costs of checking shall be paid for each final map or maps of a subdivision in an amount prescribed by resolution of the city council.
(Ord. 939, 1976)
A. 
Prior to the submission of the final subdivision map, the subdivider shall file with the director of planning a preliminary soil report, prepared by a civil engineer who is registered by the state, based upon adequate test borings or excavations of every subdivision, as defined in Article 7, Chapter 4, Division 2, Title 7 of the government Code of the state. The preliminary soil report may be waived if the director of planning determines that, due to the knowledge of such department as to the soil qualities of the subdivision, no preliminary analysis is necessary.
B. 
If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, a soil investigation of each lot in the subdivision shall be prepared by a civil engineer who is registered by the state. The soil investigation shall recommend corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling proposed to be constructed on the expansive soil. The report shall be filed with the director of building and safety.
C. 
The director of planning shall approve the soil investigation if the director determines that the recommended corrective action is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed on each lot in the subdivision. Appeal from such determination shall be to the city council. The building permit shall be conditioned upon the incorporation of the approved recommended corrective action in the construction of each dwelling.
(Ord. 939, 1976; Ord. 1208, 1983)
A. 
All streets, highways and parcels of land shown on the final map and intended for any public use shall be approved for dedication for public use.
B. 
Streets or portions of streets may be offered for future dedication where the immediate opening and improvement is not required, but where it is necessary to ensure that the city can later accept dedication when such streets are needed for further development of the area.
(Ord. 939, 1976)
The subdivider shall improve or agree to improve all land dedicated for streets, highways, public ways and easements as a condition precedent to acceptance and approval of the final map. Such improvements shall include such grading, surfacing, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, bridges, storm drains, sanitary sewers, street lighting, street signs, parkway tree planting and such other structures or improvements as may be required or deemed by the planning commission to be necessary for the general use of the lot owners in the subdivision and local neighborhood traffic and drainage needs.

No construction or improvements shall be started until approval has been given by the city engineer.
(Ord. 939, 1976)
Any improvement agreement, contract or act required or authorized by the Subdivision Map Act, for which security is required, shall be secured in the manner provided for in Section 66499 of the Subdivision Map Act.
(Ord. 939, 1976)
A. 
The improvement security shall be in the amount set forth or authorized in Section 66499.3 of the Subdivision Map Act. If the improvement security is other than a bond or bonds furnished by duly authorized corporate surety, an additional amount shall be included as determined by the planning commission as necessary to cover the cost and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be incurred by the city in successfully enforcing the obligation secured.
B.

The city council may release a portion of the security in conjunction with the acceptance of the performance of the act or work as it progresses upon application therefor by the subdivider; provided, however, that no such release shall be for an amount less than fifty percent of the total improvement security given for faithful performance of the act or work and the security shall not be reduced to an amount less than fifteen percent of the total improvement security given for faithful performance until final completion and acceptance of the act or work. In no event shall the city council authorize a release of the improvement security which would reduce such security to an amount below that required to guarantee the completion of the act or work and any other obligation imposed by this title, the Subdivision Map Act or the improvement agreement.
C. 
No security given for the guaranty or warranty of work shall be released until the expiration of the period thereof.
