Any tentative map of a minor subdivision, parcel map, or subdivision map shall show:
(A) The tract number, if a subdivision as defined in the Subdivision Map Act of the state;
(B) The date, north point, and scale;
(C) Sufficient legal description of land to define the boundaries of the proposed division of land;
(D) A key map indicating the location of the proposed division of land in relation to the surrounding area;
(E) The name and address of the record owner, the subdivider, and the civil engineer or licensed surveyor under whose direction the map was prepared including registration number of the engineer or surveyor;
(F) The existing topography of the land proposed to be divided using contour intervals of not more than five feet, and of not more than two feet where the grade of the land is less than 5%. The contours of adjacent land shall also be shown wherever the surface features of such land affect the design and/or improvement of the proposed division. The tentative map shall contain a statement by the person preparing the map stating the source of contours shown on the map;
(G) The approximate location and outline to scale of each building or structure on the property proposed for division. Building or structures on adjacent property shall also be shown if such buildings or structures affect the design of the proposed subdivision. Each building shown shall be identified by house number or other identifying feature, including a notation for each building or structure to be retained;
(H) The approximate location of all areas subject to inundation or storm water overflow and the location, width, and direction of flow of each watercourse;
(I) The approximate location of each area covered by trees with a statement of the nature of the cover and the kind and approximate location of all trees standing within the boundaries of proposed public rights-of-way;
(J) The location, width, approximate grade, and curb radii of all existing and proposed streets and highways within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision;
(K) The width, purpose, and approximate location of all existing and proposed easements or rights-of-way, whether public or private, within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision;
(L) The approximate radius and arc length of each center line curve;
(M) The approximate lot layout and the approximate dimensions of each lot and of each building site. Engineering data shall show the approximate finished grading of each lot, the preliminary design of all grading, the elevation of proposed building pads, the top and toe of cut and fill slopes to scale, and the number of each lot; the proposed areas for public use; and the angle of intersecting streets or highways if such angle deviates from a right angle by more than four degrees;
(N) The location of all cut and fill slopes or a separate grading plan;
(O) Each street shown by its actual street name or by a temporary name or letter for purposes of identification until the proper name of such street is determined;
(P) The name or names of any geologist or soils engineer whose services were required in the preparation of the design of the tentative map;
(Q) (1) A geologic soils report, prepared by a civil engineer who is registered by the state, based upon adequate test borings or excavations, unless the Community Development Department shall determine that, due to the knowledge such Department has as to the soil qualities of the soil of such subdivision or lot, no preliminary analysis is necessary. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, the person filing the tentative map shall submit a soils investigation of each lot in the subdivision prepared by a civil engineer who is registered in the state which will recommend corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling proposed to be constructed on the expansive soil. The Community Development Department shall approve the soils investigation if it determines that the recommended action is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed and shall require that the approved recommended action be incorporated in the construction of each dwelling as a condition to the building permit.
(2) If the Community Development Director finds that a written geological report is necessary to determine whether the property to be divided is subject to an existing or potential geological hazard, the person filing the tentative map shall submit such a report to the Community Development Director. The report shall be prepared by a registered engineering geologist;
(R) (1) The Community Development Director may require all proposed dedications or offers of dedication to be made by deed.
(2) Such information may be furnished separately from the map itself.
(3) The Community Development Director may waive any of the foregoing requirements whenever he finds that the type of subdivision is such that compliance is unnecessary or that other circumstances justify the waiver. The Community Development Director may require such drawings, data, or other information as are deemed necessary; and
(S) The Planning Commission shall make investigations and reports on the design and improvement of any proposed division of real property for which a tentative map, parcel map, or minor subdivision map is filed, and shall have the authority to impose requirements and conditions upon such division of land, and to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove such map and division of land. The Community Development Director shall advise and assist in making investigations and reports on tentative maps.
