Application for a tentative map shall be made to the community development department on forms provided by the community development department, accompanied by the required filing fee. Application for a tentative map or maps shall comply with Chapter 16.06 as to improvement requirements, and shall include the following materials:

A. The city tentative map application form;

B. Eight copies, one digital copy in AutoCAD, and one reproducible seven and one-half-inch by nine and one-half-inch image on eight-inch by ten-inch paper of the tentative map (see proposed contents below), and the statement for the proposed subdivision of any land;

C. Current preliminary title report(s) for affected parcels, not more than six months old, issued by a title company, shall accompany any tentative map filed pursuant to this section;

D. For purposes of a field investigation and prior to filing of a tentative map of a subdivision, critical points on proposed hillside roads as determined by the engineering services manager shall be slope staked by flagging to indicate the general limits of cut and fill slopes if average cross slope exceeds ten percent. Typical locations of slopes staked shall be designated on a copy of the tentative map;

E. A preliminary soils report shall be prepared by a registered geotechnical engineer and shall include the following:

1. Such report shall be based on adequate test borings or excavations and shall recommend corrective action. The preliminary soils report may be waived if the city determines that, due to the knowledge as to the qualities of the soil within the subdivision or lot, no preliminary analysis is necessary.

2. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, a soils investigation of each lot so affected in the subdivision shall be made by the city;

F. Architectural elevations and schematic plans for proposed buildings;

G. A layout of the proposed method of sewage disposal, potable water supply and fire protection systems;

H. Geotechnical reports for the subdivision area;

I. Preliminary grading and landscaping plans; and

J. A copy of any existing or proposed codes, covenants and restrictions, or covenants otherwise regulating or restricting the use of the land within the subdivision shall be attached to the above statement;

K. Hydrology report showing the project’s ability to meet city standards for stormwater retention;

1. Existing zoning and proposed uses of the land,

2. Intentions regarding erosion control and improvements to be constructed, as required in Chapter 16.06 and by other ordinances of the city,

3. Details on the height, size, and location of proposed buildings, including building setback lines,

4. A phasing plan and schedule for the development of the subdivision,

5. Number of trees proposed for removal and preservation,

6. Proposed quantities of cut and fill,

7. Proposed public areas to be dedicated and common area or scenic easements proposed, including designation of public and private streets; and, if shoreline property, geologic report on definition of sand beach area to be dedicated. If common areas are proposed, method of maintenance shall be stated,

8. Distance to the proposed subdivision of existing public parks and open space,

9. Proposed development of lots, that is, whether for sale as lots, fully developed house and lot, or for lease and/or for financing purposes. (Ord. 2007-08 § 4 (Exh. A), 2007)
