The provisions of this chapter shall not apply under the following
conditions:
A. The
conveyance, transfer, creation or establishment of an easement for
sewer, water or gas pipelines and appurtenances or electrical or telephone
poles and lines or conduit and appurtenances.
B. The
conveyance or transfer of land or any interest there in by or to the
United States, state, county, city, school district, special district
or public utility.
The subdivider applying for a minor subdivision shall file an application with the planning director. The applications shall be accompanied by a fee as set forth in Chapter
16.08 which will not be refundable, together with copies of a tentative parcel map as required by the planning director, prepared in accordance with the requirements as set forth in Sections
16.04.050(B) and
16.16.040 of this title.
Such information as may be prescribed by the rules and regulations
approved by the city council, and such additional information as the
planning director may find necessary with respect to any particular
case to implement the provisions of this title, shall accompany the
tentative parcel map at the time of submission. The tentative parcel
map shall be prepared by or under the direction of a California-registered
civil engineer or a California-licensed land surveyor and shall display
the engineer's or surveyor's license number. In addition, all tentative
parcel maps 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.
There shall be filed with each tentative parcel map, a grading
plan, showing a level of detail and precision as deemed necessary
by the city engineer. The grading plan shall also show graded building
site elevations and grading proposed for the creation of feasible
building sites on each lot, together with driveway access thereto
and for construction or installation of improvements. The grading
plan together with the original topographical contours may both be
shown on the tentative parcel map. In the event no such grading is
proposed, a statement to that effect shall be placed on the tentative
parcel 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.
A tentative parcel map will not be accepted for processing until
the subdivider submits the following letters referenced by the property
owner's name and assessor's parcel number, to the planning department.
A. A letter
from San Diego County department of public works, land development
division-permit and project processing center, stating that sewers
can and will be installed to each lot.
B. A letter
from the Helix Water District certifying that water can and will be
provided to each lot, at a minimum pressure of twenty-five pounds
per square inch.
Where a subdivider desires to revise an approve tentative parcel map, he or she may file with the planning director, prior to the expiration of the approved tentative parcel map, a revised tentative parcel map on payment of the fees specified in Chapter
16.08.
A replacement tentative parcel map shall be submitted when the
planning director finds that the number or nature of the changes necessary
for approval are such that they cannot be shown clearly or simply
on the original tentative parcel map.
Within the time limits specified by Sections 66452.11, 66452.6,
66463.5 and 66452.13 of the Subdivision Map Act or subsequent revisions
thereof, relating to the term of tentative maps, in effect on the
date the tentative map is approved, or conditionally approved, the
subdivider may file with the city engineer a parcel map in substantial
conformance with the tentative parcel map as approved or conditionally
approved, and in conformance with the Subdivision Map Act and this
title; provided, however, that if prior to the expiration of the time
limits for such extensions specified by Sections 66452.11, 66452.6,
66452.13 and 66463.5 of the Subdivision Map Act or subsequent revisions
thereof, relating to the term of tentative maps, the subdivider filed
with the planning director, or, on appeal the planning commission
or city council, may at any time within ninety days of the expiration
of the time limits specified by Sections 66452.11, 66452.6, 66452.13
and 66463.5 of the Subdivision Map Act or subsequent revisions thereof,
relating to the term of tentative maps, in effect on the date the
tentative map is approved, or conditionally approved. In the event
the planning director denies a subdivider's request for an extension
of time, the subdivider may appeal to the planning commission. An
appeal of a decision of the planning commission may be filed with
the city council within fifteen days of the decision.
