A. The subdivision ordinance is adopted to preserve, protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. More specifically, the subdivision ordinance is adopted in order to achieve the following objectives:
1. To aid in the implementation of the general plan of the city, and elements thereof, as adopted by the City Council;
2. To provide lots of sufficient size and appropriate design for the purposes for which they are to be used;
3. To provide streets of adequate capacity for the anticipated traffic that would utilize them and to ensure that they are designed to promote a safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic circulation system;
4. To accommodate new development in a manner that will preserve and enhance the city's living environment and create new beauty through skilled subdivision design;
5. To provide for water supply, sewage disposal, storm drainage, solid waste collection and other utilities and facilities that are required by conditions of an urban environment;
6. To ensure that the costs of providing rights-of-way, street improvements, utilities and public areas and facilities needed to service new developments are borne fairly and equitably by the subdivider rather than by property owners of the city at large.
B. The subdivision ordinance is enacted for the purpose of regulating subdivision of land in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act of the state of California and any future amendments thereto and repeals all other regulations of the city in conflict with this title; provided, however, that such repeal shall not affect any agreement, contract, or bond executed pursuant to such regulations or any rights of action accruing thereunder. The regulations hereinafter in this title contained shall apply to all subdivisions and parcel maps or parts of subdivisions and parcel maps hereafter made entirely or partially within the city. The provisions of this title shall be in addition to and shall be considered as supplemental to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act of the state of California, as now in effect or hereinafter amended.
