Tentative maps shall be filed with the Department of Community
Development by a record owner or owners of the property to be divided
or by their authorized agents. The number of copies of the tentative
map to be submitted to support the application shall be as determined
by the Director. The tentative map shall be accompanied by the required
application fee(s).
(08-05)
Tentative tract and tentative parcel maps shall be prepared
by a civil engineer registered by the State of California in accordance
with the Subdivision Map Act and this title. Tentative maps shall
be in map form and shall contain all information required by the Director
of Community Development, and shall be accompanied by other reports,
exhibits, information, and materials as required by the Director.
The Director shall provide application forms and a list of required
tentative map information on request.
(08-05)
Not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of a tentative
map application, the Department of Community Development shall determine
in writing whether the application is complete and shall immediately
transmit the determination to the subdivider. Tentative maps shall
not be deemed complete until any necessary general plan amendment
and/or zone change is adopted by the City Council.
If the written determination of completeness is not made within
30 days after receipt of the application and the application includes
a statement that it is an application for a development permit, the
application shall be deemed complete for purposes of this title. If
an application is determined to be not complete, the notification
to the subdivider shall identify those parts of the application which
are incomplete and shall indicate the manner in which they can be
made complete.
(08-05)
Multiple final maps within a subdivision may be filed prior
to the expiration of a tentative map if:
A. The
subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the City
of the subdivider's intention to file multiple final maps on the tentative
map; or
B. After
filing of the tentative map, the City and the subdivider concur in
the filing of multiple final maps.
In providing such notice of multiple final maps, the subdivider
shall not be required to define the number or configuration of the
proposed multiple final maps, and the filing of a final map on a portion
of an approved tentative map shall not invalidate any part of such
tentative map. The right of a subdivider to file multiple final maps
shall not limit the authority of the City to impose reasonable conditions
relating to the filing of multiple final maps.
(08-05)
A preliminary soils report and/or other such data and design
plans as the Director determines to be necessary shall be submitted
with all tentative maps unless the Director determines that, due to
existing information on the soil and geological qualities and topography
of the property to be subdivided, no such report or reports are necessary.
