The City Engineer shall examine the parcel map to determine whether it complies with the requirements of this Chapter and applicable local and state laws. If the City Engineer finds that the Map complies with such requirements and after receipt of the City Planner's report, he or she shall prepare a written report for the City Council containing his or her findings and recommendations. If the Map does not comply with such requirements, the Map and a report of the deficiencies shall be returned to the subdivider with said report.

If the subdivider fails to file a completed map, including any agreements, and security required, in an acceptable form to the City Engineer within 12 months from the initial filing of the application, the application shall be considered withdrawn and a new application shall be required for proceedings to commence. This time period may be extended by the City Engineer upon written request of the subdivider for an additional period of up to 12 months.
The City Council shall act upon said Map within 60 days of the filing of a completed Map acceptable to the City Engineer unless a later time is otherwise agreed to by the City Engineer and the subdivider.

The City Council shall deny approval of the Map if it makes any of the findings as set forth in Section 7-1-330, herein.
Upon approval of the parcel map by the City Council and receipt of the improvement security by the City Engineer, the City Clerk shall execute the appropriate certificate on the certificate sheet and forward the map, or have an authorized agent forward the map to the County Recorder.
Amendments to the approved Map or conditions of approval thereof, prior to recordation, may be approved by the City Engineer upon application by the subdivider or on the City Engineer's initiative; provided:

Upon waiving the Parcel Map requirement, the City Engineer shall cause to be filed with the County Recorder a "Parcel Map Waiver" for the land to be divided. A Parcel Map waived by the City Engineer may be conditioned to provide for payment of parkland, drainage, and other fees by a method approved by the City Engineer. |
In addition to the amendment authorized by Section 66469 of the Map Act, after a parcel map is recorded, it may be modified by a certificate of correction or an amending map if the City Council finds, after a public hearing on the modification as provided in Section 66451.3 of the Map Act, that:
