Public Works Director action.Upon receipt of an application for a minor subdivision, the Public Works Director shall transmit copies of the map to each of the members of the Minor Subdivision Committee and to the City Attorney, and shall cause notice of the proposed division to be made in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter.
b. Minor Subdivision Committee action.Within 21 days of filing the map, the Public Works Director shall call a meeting of the Minor Subdivision Committee. The Committee shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny said map and certify the EIR, if required; and within five days of such action, the Public Works Director shall notify the subdivider in writing of the action taken by the Committee. If the map is disapproved, the Public Works Director shall notify the subdivider in writing of the reasons for such action and of his right to appeal such action, as provided in this Chapter.
1.The Minor Subdivision Committee shall have the authority to impose such conditions as are necessary to assure compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and of the policies of the City, as well as those it deems necessary to protect the best interests of the surrounding property or neighborhood. The Committee may waive any requirements relating to improvements and design that it shall deem reasonable.
2.The Minor Subdivision Committee shall determine whether the proper enforcement of this Chapter requires that the minor subdivision be processed as a standard subdivision. The Committee shall have the authority to require conformance to standard subdivision procedures when the subdivider has interests in lands adjacent to that being subdivided.
3.As a condition of final approval of the minor subdivision, the subdivider shall make all necessary assessment segregations.
c. Referral to the Planning Commission.The Minor Subdivision Committee may refer an application for approval of a minor subdivision map to the Planning Commission if it is determined that, because of the unusual or controversial nature of the application, it should be acted upon by the Commission.
