16.14.080 Action of public works director.
A. Upon receipt of a parcel or final map and accompanying documents, fees and materials for filing, the city public works director (or designee) shall determine if they are in substantial conformity with the approved or conditionally approved tentative map and modifications and conditions made or required by the review body. If they are found to be complete and in conformance with these and other applicable regulations, and the required improvements have been installed or an agreement for installation has been made in accordance with these regulations, the city public works department shall:
1. For final maps, transmit the map to the city clerk for placement on the next available city council agenda.
2. Recommend the community development director (or designee) certify approval of the parcel map or final map by signature on the title sheet and forward it to the county recorder for recording, if all of the following findings can be made:
a. The subdivision shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the tentative map, including any approved alterations or conditions.
b. All provisions of this title and the Subdivision Map Act applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map have been complied with.
c. The map is technically correct.
B. Should the map or accompanying documents, fees or materials be found to be incomplete or incorrect in any respect, the public works director shall advise the subdivider in writing of the changes or additions that must be made before the parcel or final map may be certified.
C. If the city public works department determines circumstances concerning the design and improvement of the subdivision in relating to the public health, safety and welfare have materially changed since the approval of the tentative map, the department need not recommend the community development director certify the parcel or final map. In such instances, the city public works department shall forward the parcel or final map to the city council for further consideration.
D. If the city public works department recommends and the community development director certifies a parcel or final map, the city shall accept, accept subject to improvements, or reject any offer of dedication and shall so certify on the map. (Ord. 1729 § 4 (Exh. A), 2023)
