Sections:
14.06.010 Certification of ownership.
14.06.030 Environmental documents.
14.06.050 Additional information.
14.06.010 Certification of ownership.
A. When a tentative map is filed, the person filing the map must certify to one of the following:
1. That he is the record owner of the property; or
2. That the record owner of the property consents to the filing of the map.
B. Each tentative map shall be signed by the property owner or owners of record, and shall be accompanied by evidence of ownership of the real property proposed for subdivision. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
14.06.020 Title report.
Tentative maps shall be accompanied by a preliminary title report which discloses all possessory interests and interests of record in the land being subdivided when determined to be necessary by the director. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
14.06.030 Environmental documents.
Tentative maps shall be accompanied by appropriate environmental documents in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
14.06.040 Soils report.
A. Unless the requirement is waived by the director pursuant to subsection (B) of this section or is deferred pursuant to subsection (C) of this section, tentative maps shall be accompanied by a preliminary soils report based upon adequate test borings and prepared by a civil engineer registered in the state of California. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soils problem which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, a soils report on each proposed lot in the subdivision containing any such soils problem shall accompany the final map or parcel map. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of rocks or liquids containing deleterious chemicals which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, a soils report on each lot in the subdivision containing any such soils problem shall accompany the final map or parcel map. Such reports shall include recommended corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage.
B. The director may waive the preliminary soils report required by subsection (A) of this section for tentative maps if he determines it is unnecessary because the city already has sufficient information as to the qualities of the soils in the proposed subdivision.
C. The director may defer the requirements for a preliminary soils report until the submission of a final map or parcel map.
D. The city may approve or conditionally approve the tentative map, or portion thereof, where soils problems exist if it determines that the recommended corrective action is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure to be constructed and, as a condition to the issuance of any building permit, such recommended corrective action is incorporated in the construction of each structure.
E. The preliminary soils report shall be submitted to the director for review. The director may require additional information or reject the soils report if it is found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsatisfactory. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
14.06.050 Additional information.
A. Tentative maps shall be accompanied by such additional information as may be specified by the director or required by the subdivision manual. The director shall have the authority to include among such requirements geologic, seismic and hydrology reports; aerial photographs and transparent overlays; grading, site development and landscaping plans, including building setback lines; evidence from the agency proposed to provide sewer services and the proposed water supplier with respect to their capacity of serving the proposed subdivision; fire protection and fuel modification reports; and any other information reasonably relevant to proposed subdivisions.
B. The director may require differing amounts of supplementary information, depending upon the type of map involved, the scope of the proposed subdivision, and the anticipated environmental impacts of the subdivision.
C. The director may require the submission of additional information after the filing of tentative maps as necessary. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
