After noting the above requirements, it is desired that the subdivider confer with the staff of the city planning commission and the city engineer before preparing the tentative map. Each tentative map must have a tract number to be assigned by the county surveyor of Los Angeles County. The tentative map shall be prepared in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and the provisions of this chapter. Such filing shall be prior to the completion of final surveys of streets and lots, and before any grading or construction work is done within the proposed subdivision area that might be affected by the changes in the tentative map. To assure that the planning commission has all necessary information to consider a tentative map, the commission shall act only upon such tentative maps as shall have been filed with the commission not less than ten days prior to the date of the planning commission meeting, at which such matter is to be considered. The planning director may refuse to receive for filing a tentative map that does not contain the data required by this section.
Prior to the consideration by the planning commission of a tentative map, the city engineer will make a report in writing to the planning commission as to any recommendations in connection with the tentative map and its bearing on particular functions. In the preparation of his report, the city engineer shall take into proper consideration, all comments and reports received from other officials and agencies that may have an interest or be affected by the development proposed. A copy of the city engineer’s report shall be made available to the subdivider and the subdivider’s engineer prior to consideration of the map by the planning commission. (Ord. 182 § 4.06, 1966)

Within not to exceed seven days following the action of the planning commission, upon any tentative map, the secretary of the commission shall transmit a copy of the record pertaining to such action to the council. (Ord. 182 § 4.07, 1966)
17.16.080 Council action and report.
The city council shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map and through the planning director shall report the action thereon to the subdivider and the city planning commission.

(Ord. 182 § 4.08, 1966)
