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.
(Ord. 459 § 16.01.080(a), 1979)

report is required, the City Planner or, on appeal, the Planning Commission
and City Council shall consider such report as independent evidence

by law, the City Planner or, on appeal, the Planning Commission and
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
