All tentative maps and tentative parcel maps shall be subject to environmental review in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the City Council pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act of 1970 or "CEQA" (Division 13 of the Public Resources Code). Consequently, decisions to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove any tentative map or tentative parcel map shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter.
(Ord. 459 § 16.01.080, 1979)
A. 
Upon receipt of a negative declaration with respect to any tentative map, the Planning Commission or, on appeal, the City Council may proceed to consider the tentative map without an environmental impact report.
B. 
With respect to any tentative map for which an environmental impact report is required, the Planning Commission or, on appeal, the City Council shall consider such report as independent evidence in determining whether to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the tentative map. In addition to any other discretion granted by law, the Planning Commission or, on appeal, the City Council shall have the authority to consider the adequacy of the environmental impact report and refer it back to the environmental review authority for preparation of a supplementary report in any case in which a supplementary report is deemed by it to be necessary as a basis for a decision on the tentative map. In cases where a proposal has changed substantially since the time of initial review, the Council or commission may require a supplementary environmental impact report.
