A. 
Improvements required to be installed by a subdivider as a condition precedent to the filing of a final tract or parcel map shall comply with the requirements of this chapter. Such improvements shall be provided and developed in accordance with the conditions imposed as a condition of approval of the tentative map, in accordance with any agreement or bond made or entered into by the subdivider for that purpose, and in accordance with the standards and specifications set by administrative regulations and ordinances of the city applicable at the time to the tentative map. All requirements of Article 3.5, Chapter 4 of the Subdivision Map Act relative to public access to public resources shall be complied with, and such requirements shall be made a part of this chapter.

All improvements, rights-of-way, easements and other appurtenances required as a condition of the tentative map shall be dedicated to the city, or to the appropriate agency as determined by the city, at no cost to the city or such agency, unless otherwise specifically provided by state law.
(Prior code § 9108.01; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
Plans, profiles and specifications for on-site improvements, other than for streets and highways, shall be submitted to the city engineer prior to the time a final tract or parcel map is submitted for checking and certification. Such plans shall show all details of the proposed improvements and site development needed for approval of such plans by the city engineer. Such details shall include requirements of other governmental agencies whose jurisdiction some portion of the plans may encompass. Preliminary plans may be approved by the city engineer when sufficient engineering data is furnished by the subdivider to demonstrate that the preliminary design meets the city's requirements, is practical from a maintenance standpoint, is consistent with sound engineering practices, and that the final plans will conform to the preliminary plans with only minor changes or modifications. Final plans for such improvements and site development must be approved by the city engineer prior to transmitting the final tract map or parcel map to the city council and/or planning commission, respectively, for approval. If the subdivider applies for a reimbursement agreement and/or another governmental agency, whose approval of the plans is required, the city engineer shall not approve preliminary or final plans until and unless such agreement and agency approval has been consummated.
(Prior code § 9108.02; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)

Such plans shall be furnished to the city engineer not later than the time of submitting the final tract or parcel map to the city engineer for checking, and shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer before any such map shall be certified by the city engineer. Such plans, profiles and specifications shall show full details of the proposed improvements, and shall be in accordance with the standards and specifications of the city. Such plans shall also include a design grade for an existing highway or for a future street, provided the city engineer determines that such grade is necessary to properly locate slope and drainage easements and/or facilities, if any.
(Prior code § 9108.03; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
If streets, highways or other public ways are to be dedicated or granted in fee on a final tract or parcel map or by separate instrument prior to filing such maps, and the subdivider is required to grade, pave or install curbs, gutters or sidewalks within such easements, the subdivider shall provide a copy of the final tract or parcel map, as the case may be, which delineates all structures within such easements, except publicly owned storm drains, water lines, sewers and other drainage or sanitary facilities. Such maps shall be submitted to the city engineer when highway improvement plans are submitted for approval.
(Prior code § 9108.04; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
Each highway shall be improved with full-width grading, cement concrete curbs and gutters, full-width roadway paving, installation of drainage facilities incidental thereto, street signs, and such other improvements for traffic and drainage needs as are required for the appropriate developments of the division of land.

Whenever a lot on a final map is to be owned in common by a number of persons or by an association comprised of a number of persons, the subdivider shall form a landscape maintenance district, or establish an alternate landscape maintenance procedure satisfactory to the city prior to filing a final map to assure continual maintenance of common areas.
(Prior code § 9108.19; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
If lots in a division of land abut a street or highway and the subdivider has relinquished or dedicated access rights to such street or highway, a masonry wall not less than six feet in height shall be required to be installed and constructed along the property line of the lots contiguous to the street or highway, unless such lots are designed to front onto such street or highway and are served by a dedicated and improved alley. In any case, a building permit shall be obtained for the erection and construction of such wall.
(Prior code § 9108.13; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
The subdivider shall provide a fence or wall not less than six feet high along each side of any portion of a dedicated right-of-way for any watercourse or drainage facility within a proposed division of land if the city engineer finds that the location, shape, slope, width, velocity of water therein, or other characteristics of the watercourse or drainage facility makes the fencing of the right-of-way necessary for the protection of the general public. Such fencing shall have an adequate number of gates to facilitate cleaning and maintenance and shall not contain apertures below the fence in excess of four inches vertical.
(Prior code § 9108.14; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)

(Prior code § 9108.10; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
A. 
Whenever a division of real property, by sale, lease or otherwise, has taken place which requires compliance with the provisions of this title, but approval has not been obtained as provided herein, and the purchaser of one or more of the parcels so divided has been refused a building permit or a certificate of occupancy, or has attempted to file a parcel map on his or her property but has been refused same by reason of noncompliance herewith, the city council may, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.16.060 of this title, direct the city planner to accept a parcel map for filing relating to such purchaser's property only, provided that such purchaser agrees to construct improvements and dedicate areas as may be required to comply with the provisions hereof.
B. 
The city council, prior to such direction to the city planner, must make the following finding of facts:
1. 
That the purchaser at the time of his or her purchase of the property was unaware of the application of the provisions of this title to his or her property; and
2. 
That the purchaser has unsuccessfully attempted to obtain the approval and concurrence of the other purchasers, property owners and/or his or her vendor in the filing of a parcel map covering all of the property divided without compliance with this title; and
3. 
That to refuse to accept a parcel map relating to the property of the injured purchaser only, will work an undue hardship upon such purchaser; and
4. 
That the public interest will be furthered by permitting such filing.
C. 
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to relieve any owner, purchaser or vendor of any real property from the filing of a parcel map, nor shall it be deemed to waive or modify the requirements for such filing on all remaining portions of property so divided. The city council shall not approve or direct the filing of a parcel map if it determines that the parcel map was filed for the purpose of avoiding compliance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or this title.
(Prior code § 9108.24; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
A. 
Improvements required by this chapter shall be installed and constructed by the subdivider at his or her expense, and shall not be paid for by any special assessment, lien, tax, bonded indebtedness, or other charge against the land or real property within the division, except as follows:
1. 
The cost of installing pipes and other facilities for the transmission of water may be paid for in whole or in part from revenues collected from the customers served at regular established water rates for the water purveyor, pursuant to the regulations of the Public Utilities Commission where applicable, or by a public agency (as defined in Section 4401 of the California Government Code) from the net operating income only, as payment for the sale of water thereto; and
2. 
As provided in Article 6, Chapter 4 of the Subdivision Map Act or other reimbursement, improvement or maintenance enabling acts.
B. 
All outstanding or remaining assessments on the land of the division established for improvements constructed under special assessment district proceedings shall be paid by the subdivider.
(Prior code § 9108.23; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
If a required improvement is not completed before a final tract or parcel map is filed, the subdivider shall enter, as contractor, into an agreement with the city to complete the improvement within the time specified by such agreement, and subject to the provisions of Chapter 5 of the Subdivision Map Act.
(Prior code § 9108.22; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
