Any person proposing to create a major subdivision shall file a tentative map pursuant to this chapter. The city council shall not approve a final map, unless prior thereto, a tentative map of the subdivision, shown thereon, has been filed with and reported on by the planning commission.
B. 
Where a parcel map is authorized for a major subdivision, pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act or this title, the city engineer shall not approve such map, unless prior thereto, a tentative map of the subdivision, shown thereon, has been filed with and reported on by the planning commission.
A. 
All tentative maps shall be prepared by or under the direction of a California-registered civil engineer or a California-licensed land surveyor and shall display such engineer's or surveyor's license number.
B. 
All tentative maps shall be in the form and shall contain and be accompanied by the data specified by the rules and regulations prescribed by the planning commission and approved by the city council and shall be accompanied by either an environmental impact initial study, or a draft environmental impact report prepared in accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the city council pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended.
A tentative map filed pursuant to Section 16.12.010 shall be accompanied by a written statement disclosing the following information:

The names of all persons having an interest in the application as well as the names of all persons having any ownership interest in the property involved.

There shall be filed with each tentative map, a grading plan showing a level of detail and precision as deemed necessary by the city engineer. The grading plan shall also show grading for construction or installation of all improvements to serve the subdivision and feasible grading for the creation of building sites on each lot, together with driveway access thereto. In the event the subdivider does not intend to grade the building sites as part of the improvements, a statement to that effect shall be placed on the tentative map; provided however, this provision shall not be construed as relieving the subdivider of the obligation of providing a feasible grading plan showing building sites, unless the planning director determines this to be unnecessary.
There shall be filed with each tentative map, a soils and geologic survey report of the subject property conducted by a competent individual or firm. This soils and geologic survey report shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: the name(s) and license and/or registration number(s) of the person(s) or firm preparing the soils and geologic survey, a brief description of the proposed project and project location, a description of the methodology used to perform the field investigation, laboratory test results, if applicable, a map of this project site clearly indicating topography, boring sites, soils types found on the property, and any other appropriate information. This report shall also include the existence of faults, landslides, or other geologic phenomena, conclusions, and recommendations regarding grading and site preparation for the proposed construction, the type of footings or foundations capable of supporting any proposed structures and measures necessary to provide adequate project site drainage. Additional information is necessary to adequately address potential soils and geologic problems affecting the proposed subdivision.
