A. Departmental Action: Within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the copy of the map, each agency or department to which such copy may have been transmitted shall examine the map to ascertain if the lot split proposed thereon conforms to the requirements coming within the authoritative scope of such agency or department and shall file with the planning commission a written report on such map.
B. Public Hearing: The planning commission shall conduct a public hearing on the proposed lot split as published and posted, which hearing shall be held on the first regular meeting of the planning commission occurring at least twenty one (21) days after the date of filing the map and accompanying data with the planning secretary.
C. Planning Commission Action:
1. The planning commission shall review the map and accompanying data and the reports, if any, of the agencies and departments and shall conduct its own full and complete investigation. The planning commission may require such additional information concerning the proposed lot split as it deems necessary.
2. The planning commission shall determine whether the proposed lot split is in conformity with law and this chapter and shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the lot split. At the same time the planning commission shall designate the improvements which will be required. Within ten (10) days, the planning commission, through the planning secretary, shall report the action on the proposed lot split to the subdivider.
3. When, in the opinion of the planning commission, it is the intent of the subdivider to divide his land into five (5) or more lots within a thirty six (36) month period, or where the proposed lot split would permit such future additional subdivision as a natural sequence of operations, then the planning commission may disapprove the proposed lot split and recommend that the subdivider file a tentative map in accordance with the provisions of this chapter for subdivisions of five (5) or more lots.
4. When, in the opinion of the planning commission, a dedication and/or improvement of public streets, parkways or other public ways or places is required, then the planning commission may disapprove the proposed lot split and recommend that the subdivider file a tentative map pursuant to the provisions of this chapter 1 .
D. Revised Map: The subdivider shall file with the planning secretary one thin brown line copy of a revised map of the lot split as approved by the planning commission, such revised map to be prepared by a civil engineer or licensed surveyor.
E. Plans And Specifications: In cases where improvements are required, no improvement work shall be commenced until the tracing and two (2) sets of plans and specifications therefor prepared in accordance with approved standards have been submitted to and approved by the City Engineer.
F. Bond: In cases where improvements are required, the subdivider shall post two (2) copies of a bond as specified elsewhere in this Chapter 1 within twenty (20) days from the date of conditional approval to assure that the improvement work and survey requirements will be completed within the time specified by the Planning Commission or, if no time is specified, within one year from the date of conditional approval; provided, however, that the Planning Commission may extend such time for good and sufficient reasons upon application in writing by the subdivider.
Failure on the part of the subdivider to meet any of the foregoing requirements within the times specified shall automatically cause the proposed lot split to become null and void and of no effect. (1954 Code §22.39)
