The purpose of these standards is to specifically define the minimum standards and procedures required for the subdivision and/or improvement of land within the city of Willows.
Improvement of subdivisions for which parcel maps are filed shall be limited to dedication of rights-of-way and easements and the construction of reasonable on-site and off-site improvements to serve the parcels being created. Only those portions of these standards which are pertinent to these dedications and improvements shall be applicable to subdivisions for which parcel maps are filed.
Improvement of subdivisions for which final maps are filed shall include, but is not limited to, dedication of streets, public ways and easements, grading, surfacing, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, culverts, bridges, storm drains, sanitary sewers, water and fire protection facilities, street lighting, and permanent subdivision monuments as set forth herein.
A subdivider shall improve, or agree to improve, all land dedicated or to be dedicated for streets, public ways and easements as a condition precedent to acceptance thereof and approval of the final map or parcel map.
The construction of improvements for undeveloped parcels created by a parcel map shall not be required until a permit is issued for development of the parcel involved. Improvements required for parcels which are developed shall be constructed prior to filing of the parcel map.
All improvements shall be installed to lines and grades approved by the city engineer.
Any request for variation from these standards shall be made in writing to the city manager. Following an investigation of the request by staff, the proposed variation may be approved at the discretion of the planning commission.
