(A) Copies of any requested tentative map and statement of the proposed subdivision of any land shall be filed with the Planning Commission at least six weeks (or such longer period as determined by the Community Development Director) prior to the regularly scheduled meeting at which considera-tion is desired. A filing fee as set forth by resolution of the City Council shall be paid at the time of filing.
(B) The secretary of the Planning Commission shall examine the map upon presentation and shall not accept such map unless the same is in full compliance with the law and the provisions of this chapter as to form, data, information, and other matters required to be shown thereon or furnished therewith. Maps shall be accepted which are not in full compliance if applications are concurrently submitted that would assure compliance. The map shall not be accepted as complete until the map is in full compliance. The exact requirements for submittal of a tentative map shall be available, in writing, to a subdivider at least 30 days prior to the deadline for submittal.
(C) The secretary of the Planning Commission shall transmit copies of such tentative map to interested and affected agencies. A copy shall be transmitted to each school district having jurisdiction over the area shown on the tentative map.
(D) The department or agency receiving a copy of the map may notify, within 15 days of receipt thereof, the secretary of the Planning Commission of particulars which do not conform to requirements coming within its authorized scope. In the case of school districts, they shall respond within 20 working days of the date on which the notice was mailed. If a reply is not received within the time periods listed above, it will be assumed that the agency approved its form.
(E) Prior to the presentation of a formal tentative map, the subdivider is encouraged to present sketches of his proposal to the Planning Department. However, such a preliminary sketch is not to be construed as a tentative map. Where only a portion of a larger area is to be subdivided at this time and the balance planned for future subdivision, the Commission may require a map showing the proposed street layout within the entire area. Such a map is not a tentative map but is to be used as a guide for the tentative map under consideration and future maps of that area.
(F) Upon submittal of a tentative map of unincorporated territory, no further action may be taken and the map may not be accepted as complete (at the discretion of the City Council) until the territory has been annexed to the city.
