16.16.010 Filing requirements.
Any map, tentative, final, parcel or subdivision shall not be considered as filed with the city until all of the fees and charges required by the city as pertains to the division of land have been paid and the developer has completed the provisions of the environmental procedures of the city and the California Environmental Quality Act. Further, final maps and parcel maps shall not be considered as filed until all corrections have been made as directed by the city engineer to maps and improvements plans, and the property has been annexed to the city. (Ord. 80-1 Art. IV §4.01, 1980).
16.16.020 Examination.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Map Act, the city engineer shall make such detailed examination of the tentative, parcel and final maps and record survey maps and perform such field checks as may be necessary to enable him to make the required certification. (Ord. 93-13 §6, 1993: Ord. 80-1 Art. IV §4.02, 1980).
16.16.030 Rejection.
The city council may reject a tentative or parcel map if the proposed use is prohibited by any ordinance, statute, law or other regulation and shall deny a map if it makes any of the following findings:
A. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable, general and specific plans;
B. That the design or improvement of the proposed land division is not consistent with applicable, general and specific plans;
C. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development;
D. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development;
E. That the design of the land division or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
F. That the design of the land division or the type of improvements are likely to cause serious public health problems;
G. That the design of land division or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public-at-large for access through the use of property within the proposed land division. In this connection, the city council may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements for access or for use will be provided and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public;
H. That the proposed design does not provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1. (Ord. 93-13 §7, 1993: Ord. 80-1 Art. IV §4.03, 1980).
