or soil conditions or every division of land for which a final tract
or parcel map is required. If such report 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 a division of land may be required. Such report shall also recommend
the corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage
to each structure proposed to be constructed in the area where such
soils problems exist. A division of land may be approved, or a portion
thereof, where such soils problems exist if both the city engineer
and director of community development determine that the recommended
action is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure to
be constructed, and, as a condition to the issuance of any building
permit, may require that the approved recommended action be incorporated
in the construction of each structure. The geological and/or soils
report may be waived if both the city engineer and director of community
development have determined that, due to their knowledge as to the
soils qualities of the soils of the division of land, no such report
is necessary;
J.
Environmental
impact information, as required by the city;
K.
Preliminary
title report;
(Prior code § 9104.05; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
Insofar as a condominium project or community apartment project
is concerned for which a tentative tract map is required, the provisions
of Section 66427, Article I, Chapter 2 of the Subdivision Map Act
shall prevail.
(Prior code § 9104.09; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
A tentative tract map shall be filed and shall, in addition
to the requirements set forth in this title, show the following:
A.
The
precise location and designation of all lots upon which single-family
dwelling units are to be developed;
B.
All
lots to be owned in common which are designed to be developed and
used exclusively for supplemental vehicular parking and storage, and
for vehicular and pedestrian access from any improved public street
to individual privately owned lots;
C.
All
lots to be owned in common which are designed to be developed, reserved
and/or used exclusively for open-space and recreational purposes.
(Prior code § 9104.07; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
Real property may be reverted to acreage, provided such property
was previously subdivided, and a tentative tract map shall be prepared
and processed in accordance with the provisions of Article I, Chapter
6 of the Subdivision Map Act and with the provisions of this title.
(Prior code § 9104.06; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
A.
A tentative
tract map or tentative parcel map shall be valid for an initial period
of two years from the date of approval and up to an additional period
not to exceed one year if so approved by the approving authority.
B.
Upon the application of a subdivider filed prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the time at which the map expires may be extended by the approving authority for a period or periods not exceeding a total of three years. The period of extension shall be in addition to the period of time provided in subsection A of this section. Upon the filing of a proper request for extension, the map shall automatically be extended for sixty days or until the application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved or denied by the city council or planning commission. If the planning commission denies the subdivider's application for an extension, the subdivider may appeal to the city council within fifteen days after the planning commission has denied the extension.
C.
A tentative
map may not be extended after its expiration date. The expiration
of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall terminate
all proceedings and no final map or parcel map of all or any portion
of the real property included within the tentative map shall be filed
with the city council or division of land committee without first
processing a new tentative map. Once a final map is delivered to the
county surveyor or city engineer prior to the expiration date, subsequent
actions including, but not limited to, processing, approving and recording,
may lawfully occur after the date of expiration of the tentative map.
(Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
The provisions of Article I, Chapter 4, Sections 66473 et seq. of the Subdivision Map Act shall serve as guidelines and criteria for the approval, conditional approval or rejection of all subdivision applications. The city planner, division of land committee and the advisory agency shall respectively make recommendations concerning these criteria and guidelines. The city council shall disapprove any tentative tract map when any of the provisions of said Article I, Chapter 4 apply, or it may condition approval where applicable in order to mitigate those circumstances which otherwise would be cause for disapproval. The provisions of Titles 10, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 18 of this code shall also serve as guidelines and criteria for the approval, conditional approval or denial of subdivision applications. The city council may deny a subdivision application which fails to meet the requirements of Titles 10, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 18 of this code.
(Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
A.
The
city planner, after accepting as complete an application for any tentative
map approval, shall determine whether or not an environmental impact
report or negative declaration is required. The final determination
thereof shall be rendered by the division of land committee. The decision
of the division of land committee shall be made within thirty days
of receiving a complete application.
B.
The
planning commission or the city council shall prepare and certify
an environmental impact report within one year from the date the application
is determined complete. The planning commission or city council shall
prepare a negative declaration within one hundred five days of the
date the application is determined complete. The applicant and the
city may extend these time limits by mutual consent.
(Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
