a tentative map is approved or conditionally approved, the director
of housing and community development shall immediately make a written
report to the city council. Within 10 days, or at its next succeeding
regular meeting after receipt of said report, the council may review
the map and conditions imposed by the planning commission. If the

within 15 days or at its next succeeding regular meeting. At that
hearing the council may add, modify or delete conditions when the
council determines that such changes are necessary to insure that
the tentative map conforms to zoning conditions imposed upon the property
