(a) Water systems. Where a public sewerage facility is available to the subdivision but a public water supply is not, the Commission may, upon the recommendation of the Director of Planning, Public Works and Environmental Services, require the installation of a public water system as a condition to the approval of a tentative map.
(b) Wells and septic tanks. The construction and maintenance of wells and septic tanks shall meet the applicable standards or laws of the County and the State.
(c) Access to, and areas for, parks, schools, and other public places. Where the subdivision is of such a size that the Commission deems it proper, the Commission may require the subdivider to provide access to, or designate suitable areas for, parks, playgrounds, schools, and other public building sites which may be required for the use of the population in the neighborhood or community.
(d) Preservation of natural features. The Commission may require such measures as will preserve and enhance the scenic values and natural features of the County and the conditions making for excellence of residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, or recreational development, in accordance with the policies of the General Plan.
(e) Trees. Existing trees shall be preserved within any public way wherever, in the determination of the Commission, such trees are suitably located, healthy, and of desirable variety and where approved grading permits the preservation of such trees. Where required, street trees of an approved type shall be planted in accordance with the County Improvement Standards and Chapter 3 of this title (the Landscape Irrigation Ordinance).
(f) Fire protection facilities. Fire protection facilities, including water supply, fire hydrants, gated connections, and appurtenances to provide adequate fire protection, shall be furnished in accordance with the standards established by the California Fire Code, as adopted in Title 7 of this code, provided, however, such requirements may be modified by the Commission upon recommendation of the fire district of jurisdiction.
(g) Traffic barriers. Permanent type traffic barriers, in accordance with the County Improvement Standards, shall be furnished at the dead end of streets adjacent to undeveloped land until such streets are extended onto the adjacent land.
(h) Street lighting. Street lighting may be required by the Commission when deemed appropriate, and if required, a funding mechanism shall be provided so that benefitting parcels fund the continued operation and maintenance of street lighting.
(i) Failure to provide for facilities. The failure of the subdivider to make provisions for required streets, highways, schools, drainage, and other planned public facilities, or to conform to the zoning regulations (Chapter 2 of this title) shall be reason to disapprove the tentative map.
