The purpose of this chapter is to set forth the process for the approval of tentative financial maps and final maps and parcel maps for financing and/or conveyances on sites, which already have approved tentative maps or tentative parcel maps. The financial map shall not create any legal building site(s); a future final map or parcel map shall be processed in order for any development to occur.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)
Preparation and contents of the tentative financial map shall be identical to those described in Chapter 16.24 of this title.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)
Prior to a hearing by the planning commission, the application shall be reviewed by the development review committee. The review is a check of the subdivision plans for compliance with this title, Title 17, and other relevant titles of the Moorpark Municipal Code, the Uniform Fire Code, the Uniform Building Code, the general plan, and other applicable local, state, and federal policies, plans and laws and adopted city council standards and policies.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)
The planning commission shall follow the same tentative map procedures as outlined in Chapter 16.24 of this title except that the planning commission shall be the approving authority. The additional criteria listed below shall also apply in the approval:
A. 
The proposed parcel lines shall not conflict with any public easements;
B. 
There shall not be any physical constraints or other issues, which may affect the feasibility of future development on the site (e.g., vehicular access, utility service extensions);
C. 
The proposed parcels shall have access from a public road, or access shall be feasible and required by conditions of approval of the tentative map;
D. 
The proposed parcels shall meet the minimum size requirements of the zone.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)
The following conditions of approval shall be required, at a minimum, of any financial map. Additional conditions, which, in the opinion of the planning commission, are necessary to ensure the purpose of this chapter and of this title, may also, be required:
A. 
This map is approved for financing and land conveyance purposes only. No applications for building permits or grading permits shall be submitted for the parcels/lots created by this map until approval of subsequent final maps or parcel maps for development purposes.
B. 
Supplemental information/technical studies may be required to evaluate subsequent mapping.
C. 
No bonding or surety shall be required if no improvements are required as part of the financial map.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)
The action of the planning commission is final unless appealed to the city council in accordance with the Section 17.44.090 of the Moorpark Municipal Code.
