Sec. 33-57. Form and content of Tentative Map.
a. Preparation.The subdivider shall cause the tentative map of the land proposed to be subdivided to be clearly and legibly prepared by a civil engineer or licensed land surveyor.
b. Scale.The tentative map shall be drawn according to the engineer’s scale at a scale between one inch equals 100 feet and one inch equals 40 feet.
c. Sheet size and number.The tentative map shall be prepared in such a manner as to be shown on a single sheet measuring 24 inches by 36 inches unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Director.
d. Vicinity sketch.A vicinity sketch shall be drawn on the tentative map. It shall show the nearby streets, boundary lines and names of abutting subdivisions. It shall also show the outline of large parcels of land which are adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
e. Information required on the tentative map.The following information shall be shown on the tentative map.
1.The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the owners of record of the land proposed to be subdivided, of the subdivider and of the person or firm preparing the tentative map.
2.The date, the north point, and the graphic scale. The scale may also be indicated in letters and numbers.
3.The tract number, as secured from the County Planning Director or other appropriate County official.
4.The tract name, which shall not duplicate, or nearly duplicate, the name of an existing tract within the City, or within three miles of the City limits, unless it is another unit of the same tract.
5.The names, numbers and intersecting boundary lines of adjacent subdivisions and tracts, and the names of owners of adjacent unplotted land.
6.A sufficient description to define the location and boundaries of the proposed subdivision.
7.If it is contemplated that development will proceed by units, the boundaries of such units shall be shown on the tentative map.
8.Contours at two-foot intervals for ground slope areas between level and 5%; and five-foot interval contours for ground slope areas over 5%. Such contours shall extend onto contiguous lands for a distance of 200 feet and shall relate to the benchmark system established by the City Engineer. A grading plan, complete with approximate elevations of all improvements, shall be required unless previously waived by the Public Works Director or his representative.
9.The outline of any existing building and its future disposition or use.
10.The approximate location and the type of all isolated trees with an eight-inch or greater trunk caliper and the outlines of groves, noting the number and type of trees with an eight-inch or greater trunk caliper.
11.The approximate boundaries of areas subject to inundation by storm water; and the location, size and direction of flow of water-courses and proposed major storm drain facilities.
12.The approximate widths, locations, and uses of all existing or proposed drainage, sewage, and public facilities within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision, including any easements for such usage, and further including proposed integration with existing on-or off-site facilities.
13.The locations, names, widths and grades of existing streets, highways and other public ways, in and near the subdivision.
14.The locations, names, widths, approximate grades, direction of drainage and typical cross sections of all proposed streets (public or private), access easements and other ways, and the approximate elevations of street intersections.
15.The approximate radius of all designed curves.
16.Any proposed public or semi-public use.
17.An indication of the total number of lots proposed, with all lots numbered consecutively throughout the subdivision or each proposed unit thereof.
18.The approximate layout and dimensions of each lot; and the areas of the smallest and the largest lots in the tract. Approximate lot areas shall be shown for all lots not rectangular in shape.
19.Proposed building setback lines.
20.The location of any of the foregoing improvements, which may be required to be constructed beyond the boundaries of the subdivision and vicinity maps.
21.The location of surface and underground features such as fences, ditches, wells, utilities, drains, and the like.
22.The location of any natural resources such as sand, gravel, timber, lakes and the like, within the proposed subdivision or within 200 feet thereof.
23.The line of high-water when adjoining any stream, lake or ocean shall be indicated on the map.
24.The gross area of the subdivision, open space and recreation areas and greenbelt areas to be shown to the nearest one-tenth of an acre.
f. Accompanying statements.Accompanying the tentative map, or on said map, shall be statements by the subdivider as follows:
1.A statement as to existing zoning and land use and as to proposed land use.
2.A statement as to the proposed source of water supply and method of sewage disposal.
3.A statement as to intention of subdivider in regard to erosion control.
4.A statement as to the proposed timing and phasing of the development of the subdivision or each unit thereof, including the installation of improvements and facilities and the construction of the buildings.
5.A statement as to the type of sales program anticipated such as condominium, land project, community or cooperative apartments, lot sales and the like; and as to whether the subdivider intends to also be the builder.
6.A statement of types and locations of proposed street trees.
7.A preliminary title report prepared by a California licensed title company.
g. Soils report.A preliminary soils report shall be prepared by a Registered Civil Engineer. Such reports shall be based on adequate test borings or excavations and shall indicate the suitability of the land for the proposed development. The preliminary soils report may be waived if the Public Works Director determines that, due to the knowledge his Department has as to the qualities of the soil within the subdivision or lot, no preliminary analysis is necessary. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils, slope stability, or other soils problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural problems, a soil investigation of each lot so affected in the subdivision may be required to be made by a Registered Civil Engineer. This engineer shall recommend the corrective action needed to prevent structural damage in the area where such soils problems exist.
The Planning Commission may approve the subdivision or portion thereof where such soils problems exist if it determines that the recommended action is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure to be constructed and a condition to the issuance of any building permit may require that the approved recommended action be incorporated in the construction of each structure.
h. Geologic report.A geologic report may be required for any area where there are known geologic hazards if and when determined to be necessary by the Public Works Director.
i. Model.The subdivider may be required by the Public Works Director or the Planning Commission to prepare and present a topographic model, where appropriate because of complex of steep land, of any development which is proposed for any hillside area. Such model shall show the proposed cuts, fills, roads, grading, contours and lot layout, and such other information as may be deemed necessary by the Public Works Director or the Planning Commission.
j. Covenants, conditions and restrictions.Reference to all recorded easements, use restrictions, areas previously vacated or abandoned and three copies of any existing or proposed deed restrictions shall be submitted with the tentative map.
k.Any additional information, data, reports or the like which the Public Works Director or the Planning Commission deems necessary or desirable for the review and analysis of the proposed subdivision shall be further provided. (Ord. 3472 § 1, 2012; Ord. 3424 § 1, 2009)
