At a minimum, each tentative map submitted to the city must contain the following information:
(A) The tract number of a subdivision.
(B) The date, north arrow, and scale.
(C) A sufficient legal description of the 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 the registration number of the engineer or surveyor and the names and addresses of all operators of the utility systems of the subdivision.
(F) The existing topography of land proposed to be divided using contour intervals as follows:
(1) One foot when the slope of the ground is less than 5%;
(2) Two feet when the slope of the ground is between 5% and 10%;
(3) Five feet when the slope of the ground is between 10% and 25%; and
(4) Ten feet when the slope of the ground is greater than 25%.
(G) At least every fifth contour of topography described above must be clearly labeled and indicated so as to be distinctive. Contours of adjacent land must also be shown whenever the surface features of such land affect the design and/or improvement of the proposed division. The tentative map must contain a statement by the person preparing the map stating the source of information used to develop the contours shown on the map.
(H) The approximate location and outline to scale of each building or structure on the property proposed for division. Buildings or structures on adjacent property must also be shown if such buildings or structures affect the design of the proposed subdivision. Each building shown must be identified by house number or other identifying feature, including a notation on each building, structure, fence, wall, tree row, and land use to be retained.
(I) The approximate location of all areas subject to inundation or storm water overflow and the location, width, and direction of flow of each watercourse and existing flood control district channels within ½ mile of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision.
(J) Descriptions of the proposed source of water supply and the proposed method of sewage disposal.
(K) A proposed method, and plan for storm water disposal in accordance with the Ventura County Storm Water Urban Impact Mitigation Plan ("SQUIMP") requirements.
(L) 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.
(M) The location, width, approximate grade, and curb radii of all existing and proposed streets and highways within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
(N) 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, as well as the approximate radius and arc length of each centerline curve.
(O) The approximate lot layout and the approximate dimensions and net area of each lot and building site. Engineering data must 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. All lot lines must be located at the top of the slopes.
(P) The proposed areas for public use.
(Q) The angle of intersecting streets or highways if such angle deviates from a right angle by more than four degrees.
(R) The location of all cut and fill slopes, or a separate grading plan.
(S) Each street shown by its actual street name or by a temporary name or letter for purpose of identification until the proper name of such street is determined.
(T) The name or names of any geologist or soils engineer whose services were required in the preparation of the design of the tentative map.
(U) A geologic soils report prepared by a civil engineer, registered by the State of California, based upon adequate test borings or excavations, unless the Engineer or designee determines that, due to information the Engineer has regarding the qualities of the soil of such subdivision or lot, no preliminary analysis is necessary.
(1) If the preliminary soil 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 must submit a soils investigation of each lot within the subdivision, prepared by a California-registered civil engineer, who must recommend corrective action likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling proposed to be constructed on the expansive soil.
(2) The Engineer, or designee, must approve the soils investigation if determined that the recommended action is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed and must require that the approved recommended action be incorporated in the construction of each dwelling as a condition to the issuance of a building permit.
(V) A geologic hazards report, if the Engineer finds that a written geological hazards report is necessary to determine whether the property to be divided is subject to an existing or potential geological hazard. Such report is prepared by a registered engineering geologist and must state:
(1) Whether the proposed plan is feasible;
(2) Proposed solutions for all known hazardous conditions or problems;
(3) The location and lot numbers of any test borings;
(4) The effect of the geology on the proposed development and on adjacent properties; and
(5) A description of specific locations in which development may create hazardous conditions.
(W) Through the application review process, the Engineer or Director may require that additional information be included on the tentative map to provide important or necessary disclosures or other information.
