(Ord. 861 § 10.03, 1981)
The following statements, reports and information shall accompany
the tentative map or shall be placed on the map:
A. The
existing zoning and proposed use of the subdivision;
B. A preliminary
soils report, prepared by a civil engineer registered in this state,
and based upon adequate test borings. The requirement for a preliminary
soils report may be waived by the city engineer if it is determined

set forth in Chapters 29 and 70 of the Uniform Building Code ordinance
of the city;
C. If the preliminary soils report, as required by subsection
B of this section, indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soils problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, a soils investigation of each lot in the subdivision may be required by the city engineer. Such soils investigation shall be done by a civil engineer registered in this state, who shall recommend the corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure proposed to be constructed in the area where such soils problem exists. The city engineer may require these recommendations to be incorporated in the construction of each structure as a condition to the issuance of any building permit;
D. A statement
of the method by which the subdivider proposes to control erosion;

19.20 and
19.24, and other ordinances of the city;
F. The
depth of front yards and building setback lines;
G. The
proposed source of water supply and method of sewage disposal;
H. The
type and size of tree planting to be installed;
I. A statement
indicating proposed public areas to be dedicated or scenic easements
proposed;
J. The
type and location of street lighting proposed;
K. A statement
indicating the proposed development of lots (whether for sale as lots
or fully developed house and lot);
L. A statement
indicating the subdivision purpose (whether for sale, lease, or financing);
M. Four
copies of the preliminary title report;
N. Justification
and reasons for any exceptions to the provisions of this title;
O. The
subdivider shall submit a copy of a letter to each serving utility
agency requesting submission of utility easement requirements and
a copy of the reply from each affected utility agency;
P. A geological
report shall be required in any area, so determined by the city engineer,
where there are known geological hazards.
(Ord. 861 § 10.04, 1981)
Three copies of any condition, restrictive reservation or covenant
existing or proposed shall accompany the tentative map.
(Ord. 861 § 10.05, 1981)
A tentative map shall be considered complete for consideration
after submission of the required maps or sketches, together with all
supplementary data to the secretary of the planning commission. If
the tract is a portion of a larger area which may be subdivided later,
the tentative map shall roughly indicate the ultimate plan for the
whole.
(Ord. 861 § 10.06, 1981)
Copies of the tentative map and statements concerning the proposed
subdivision of any land shall be presented, in amounts as required
by the Secretary of the Planning Commission, to said Secretary at

director of community development, city engineer, chief building inspector,
director of parks and recreation, police chief, fire chief, the District
Engineer of the Division of Highways, Department of Public Works of
the state, if affected, the Superintendent of the South San Francisco

A. The
date of the actual filing of the tentative map, for purposes of this
title, shall be the date of the next succeeding closing of the agenda
of the planning commission meeting following the presentation of said
map to the secretary of the planning commission. The planning commission
shall submit to the city council its written report advising approval,
conditional approval or disapproval of the tentative map within fifty
days after the filing thereof with its secretary, unless that time
period is extended by mutual consent of the developer and the planning
commission. Such report shall set forth in detail the reasons for
the recommendation made, and shall state all specific conditions recommended
for a conditional approval.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection
A, whenever an environmental impact report is required to be prepared for the tentative map, the planning commission shall render its report within forty-five days after certification of the environmental impact report.
(Ord. 861 § 10.09, 1981; Ord. 903 § 3, 1982)

filing of the planning commission’s report with it, the city
council shall fix the meeting date at which the tentative map will
be considered by it, which date shall be within thirty days thereafter.
The city council shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove
the tentative map within such thirty-day period.
(Ord. 861 § 10.10, 1981)
The city council may, in addition to any other causes therefor,
disapprove a tentative map because of flood or slide hazards and may
require protective improvements to be constructed as a condition precedent
to approval of the map.
(Ord. 861 § 10.11, 1981)
The city council shall determine whether the discharge of waste
from the proposed subdivision into the existing city sewer system
would result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Division
7 of the state
Water Code. In the event the city council finds that
the proposed waste discharge would result in or add to violation of
requirements of such Board, it shall disapprove the tentative map
or maps of the subdivision.
(Ord. 861 § 10.11.1, 1981)
After the approval by the city council of the tentative map
of any subdivision, the subdivider shall furnish the following information
to the city engineer. No final map shall be submitted for consideration
of the planning commission or of the city council until the improvement
plans have been approved by the city engineer. No improvement plans
shall be considered finally approved until approval of the final map
by the city council:
A. Three
copies of a grading plan showing existing and proposed contours, typical
cross sections and finished grades of all lots, roads, streets and
highways in the proposed new subdivision;
B. Three
copies of plan and profile drawings of all streets, including sewer
