§ 11.04.060. Tentative map—Procedure

A.

After noting the above requirements it is desirable that the subdivider should confer with the city engineer and the staff of the city planning commission before preparing the tentative map of the proposed subdivision.

B.

Each tentative subdivision map must have a tract number to be assigned by the county surveyor.

C.

The tentative map shall be prepared in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and the provisions of this chapter, and shall be filed with the city planning commission. Such filing should be prior to the completion of final surveys of streets and lots and before grading or construction worth within the proposed subdivision that might be affected by change in the tentative map. To assure to the planning commission 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 commission meeting at which such matter is to be considered.

D.

Prior to the consideration by the planning commission of a tentative map and within the ten days following its filing the city engineer shall make a report in writing to the planning commission as to any recommendation in connection with the tentative map and its bearing on particular functions. Failure to so report shall be deemed approval.

The planning commission shall consider a tentative map at its first regular meeting held not less than ten days following the filing of said map. Action on such tentative map in approving, conditionally approving, or disapproving, shall be taken not later than 35 days following the meeting at which it was first considered. Failure to act within such time limit shall be deemed to constitute approval. Within not to exceed ten days following the action by 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 subdivider, the city council, the city engineer, the state real estate commissioner and the state division of highways. A copy of such official action on a tentative map shall also be permanently affixed to the official file copy of such map in the records of the planning commission.
