SEC. 81.306. PLANNING COMMISSION AUTHORITY AND DUTIES FOR TENTATIVE MAPS.
   (a)   The Planning Commission's authority, as the advisory agency for tentative maps, shall be as follows:
      (1)   The Planning Commission is not authorized to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove a tentative map that is: (A) filed for concurrent processing with a General Plan amendment, specific plan, specific plan amendment or an application for a property rezone, that is required to be approved before the tentative map shall be approved or (B) proposing connection to the Rancho San Diego interceptor sewer line for the provision of sewer service and is not within the Village Regional Category as shown by the San Diego County General Plan, Land Use Element. For a tentative map covered by this subsection, the Planning Commission shall make a written report to the Board as provided in Government Code section 66452.1(a).
      (2)   For any tentative map not included in subsection (1) above, the Planning Commission is authorized to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map and shall act pursuant to Government Code section 66452.1(b). In granting the authority under this subsection to the Planning Commission to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove these tentative maps, the Board, pursuant to Government Code section 66474.7, assigns its responsibilities under Government Code sections 66473.5, 66474, 66474.1 and 66474.6 to the Planning Commission for these maps.
   (b)   Before any public hearing on an application for a tentative map, a revised tentative map or an extension for a previously approved tentative map, the Planning Commission shall provide notice that complies with the public notice requirements in Government Code section 66451.3.
   (c)   For each tentative map that comes before the Planning Commission for action, the Commission shall investigate the map and the improvements proposed to be constructed and installed in the subdivision or to serve the subdivision.
   (d)   As part of its investigation of the map and the proposed improvement the Planning Commission shall obtain and review the recommendations of: (1) the Director, the Director DEHQ and the Director DPW, with respect to the "design," as that term is defined in Government Code section 66418, of the proposed subdivision and the kind, nature and extent of the proposed "improvements," as that term is defined in Government Code section 66419, and (2) the chief of the local fire district where the proposed subdivision is located, or if there is no local fire district, the County fire official, with respect to fire hydrants, connections to be installed, fire control measures, improvements and compliance with SRA Fire Safe Regulations, 14 CCR sections 1270 et seq., or sections of a fire district's code or County Fire Code, related to subdivisions, when the State Board of Forestry has certified the applicable fire code as equaling or exceeding the State regulations.
   (e)   Whenever the Planning Commission approves or conditionally approves a tentative map pursuant to this section, it may prescribe the kind, nature and extent of the improvements to be constructed, installed or funded to serve the subdivision for the approved or conditionally approved tentative map. Where the Planning Commission does not prescribe the kind, nature or extent of the improvements to be constructed or installed, the improvements shall be constructed and installed in accordance with the San Diego County Standards.
