Parcel maps shall be required for all subdivisions described in divisions (a), (b), (c), and (d) of § 66426 of the Subdivision Map Act, unless excepted by the provisions of § 153.055 or unless waived by the Planning Commission upon a finding that the proposed division of land complies with the requirements as may have been established by § 66428 of the Subdivision Map Act and other ordinances of the city enacted pursuant thereto as to area, improvement and design, flood water drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental protection and any other relevant requirements. The procedure for the filing and approval of parcel maps shall be as follows:
(A) Not less than ten copies of a tentative parcel map prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor shall be filed with the Secretary of the Planning Commission for approval by that body. The map shall be 18 inches by 26 inches and shall be legibly drawn in a manner suitable for reproduction, to a scale and in a manner to best illustrate the proposed division. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around the sheet leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The map shall show the following information in addition to any other information required by § 66445 of the Subdivision Map Act:
(1) A legal description of the subject real property to be subdivided;
(2) Existing structures and improvements or structures and improvements contemplated for construction;
(3) The boundary lines of the entire parcel, including the area to be divided, with dimensions based on existing survey data or property descriptions:
(4) The proposed division lines with dimensions;
(5) Identification of each parcel with a letter designation;
(6) The location and names of all abutting streets, alleys and easements;
(7) The location and widths of any streets, alleys and easements proposed by the division;
(8) The source of data from which the map was drawn;
(9) The name, address and telephone number of the person preparing the map and any record owner of the land; and
(10) The additional information as the City Engineer deems necessary.
(B) Within 30 days of the filing of the map, the Planning Commission shall conduct a public hearing relative to the approval or disapproval of the map. The Secretary of the Planning Commission shall give notice by mail of the time and date of the hearing to the person filing the map at least five days prior to the hearing, and shall also publish notice for the time and in the manner required by § 66451.3 of the Subdivision Map Act. At least ten days prior to the hearing copies of the map shall be transmitted by the Secretary of the Planning Commission to the City Engineer. It is the duty of the official to render a written report to the Planning Commission relative thereto, or in the alternative appear in person at the hearing thereon and report to the Planning Commission. Failure to file the report or appear at the hearing shall be deemed approval of the map by the official affected thereby.
(C) Failure of the proposed subdivision of land to conform to the requirements and provisions of this chapter, may be grounds for disapproval of the map by the Planning Commission.
(D) As a condition to the approval of the map the Planning Commission may require the owner to enter into a written agreement with the city calling for the installation of all proposed or contemplated streets, alleys, sewer lines, water lines, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, fire hydrants or drainage facilities necessary to serve the subject property, and to furnish an improvement security as specified in division (F) of § 153.041.
(E) Before the Planning Commission shall approve any map all proposed streets and parcels of land intended for any public use shall be offered for dedication to the city. Intended easements shall be deeded to the city.
(F) At the hearing on the tentative parcel map, the Planning Commission shall act thereon. The hearing may be adjourned for any period reasonably necessary to allow the Planning Commission sufficient time in which to make a proper study and determination of the matter in no event to exceed a period of 30 days. The decision of the Planning Commission respecting the map shall be adopted by a resolution of that body, which resolution shall specify the conditions of the approval, if any. A copy of the resolution together with a copy of a final parcel map shall be forthwith transmitted by the Secretary of the Planning Commission to the City Clerk for recording. The final parcel map shall contain the information specified in and conform to the requirements of § 153.040. Before recording the final parcel map, the City Clerk shall issue and affix a parcel map number thereto. If dedications appear on the parcel map its approval and recording shall require a resolution of the City Council accepting the same.
