The final map approved by the City Engineer as complying with the approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall be filed with the Council for approval after all required certificates have been signed. The date the map shall be deemed filed with the Council is the date on which the City Clerk receives the map. The Council shall consider the final map for approval at its next available regular meeting after the City Clerk receives the map. Before approving the final map, the Council shall consider approval of the subdivision improvement agreement pursuant to Section 19.30.220.
If the subdivision improvement agreement and final map are approved by the Council, the Mayor shall execute the agreement on behalf of the City. At the time the Council approves the final map, it shall also accept, accept subject to improvement, or reject any offer of dedication. The City Clerk shall certify on the final map is approved, any streets, paths, alleys, public utility easements, rights-of-way for local transit facilities, or storm drainage easements are not accepted by the Council, the offer of dedication shall remain open and the Council may, by resolution at any later date, and without further action by the subdivider, rescind its action and accept and open the streets, paths, alleys, rights-of-way for local transit facilities, or storm drainage easements, which acceptance shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
The City may accept any dedications lying outside the subdivision boundary which require a separate grant deed. The acceptance shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
If the subdivision improvement agreement and/or final map is not in substantial compliance with the approved tentative map, the Council shall deny the agreement and/ or final map.
The Council shall not postpone or refuse approval of a final map because the subdivider has failed to meet a tentative map condition requiring construction or installation of off-site improvements on land which neither the subdivider nor the City has sufficient title or interest to permit the improvements to be made. Additionally, the Council shall not deny approval of the final map if the City has previously approved a tentative map for the proposed subdivision and if the Council finds that the final map is in compliance with the requirements of the Map Act, this Development Code, and the tentative map and all conditions thereof.
