(A) The tentative map shall be accompanied by the following data or reports.
(1) Soils report. A preliminary soils report prepared in accordance with Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code shall be submitted. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil limitations or problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, the soils report accompanying the final map shall contain a thorough investigation of each individual lot within the problem area. The report shall be reviewed by the City Engineer.
(2) Subdivision report. A preliminary subdivision report showing the names of the parties whose signatures will be necessary under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and stating the nature of the interest of the parties in the land being subdivided. The report must include all easements that affect the land being subdivided (Cal. Gov't Code §§ 66436, 66439, 66445(f) and 66447).
(3) Engineering geology and/or seismic report.
(a) If the subdivision lies within a “medium risk” or “high risk” geologic hazard area, as shown on maps on file in the Department of Community Development, a preliminary Engineering Geology and/or Seismic Safety Report indicates the presence of geological hazards or seismic hazards which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, an Engineering Geology and/or Seismic Safety Report shall accompany the final map and shall contain a thorough investigation of each individual lot within the problem area. The report shall be reviewed by the City Engineer.
(b) For proposed subdivisions in the coastal zone, the subdivider shall provide reports on liquefaction and shoreline erosion hazards, as designated in the coastal land use plan and as prescribed by the policies therein.
(4) School site. The subdivider shall obtain from the school districts involved their intention, in writing, concerning the necessity for a school site, if any, within the subdivision and shall present this information to the Community Development Department prior to the consideration of the tentative map.
(5) Environmental impact study. The various time limits set forth in this chapter for taking action on tentative maps shall not be deemed to commence until the subdivision is found exempt or an initial study is completed and a negative declaration or environmental impact report, as appropriate, is prepared, processed, and considered in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. The subdivider shall provide such additional data and information and deposit and pay such fees as may be required for the preparation and processing of environmental review documents.
(6) Utility certification. Certification in writing from all utilities that the proposed subdivision can be adequately served. The City Engineer may defer the required certifications until after the filing of the tentative map.
(7) Other reports. The Director of Community Development may waive any of the foregoing data and reports whenever he finds that the type subdivision is such as not to necessitate compliance with these requirements, or may require other such drawings, data, or reports as deemed necessary.
(B) Subsections (1), (3), (4), and (6) of division (A) shall not apply to condominium conversions.
