§ 20.12.020. Tentative plan or map processing.

(a) On the basis of the recommendations arising out of the preliminary conference regarding the general program and objectives contemplated in the proposed subdivision, the subdivider shall prepare a tentative plan or map, together with supplementary material.

(b) Thirty-five copies of the tentative plan or map shall be submitted to the city planning commission with written application for approval of the tentative plan or map at least twenty-eight days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered.

(c) Following the review of the tentative plan or map and other materials submitted for conformity to these regulations, and consultation with the subdivider on changes deemed advisable and the kind and extent of improvements to be made by the subdivider, the city planning commission shall, within fifty days, act thereon as submitted, or modified, and if approved, the city planning commission and city council shall express its approval and state the conditions of such approval, if any, or if disapproved, shall express its disapproval and reasons therefor.

(d) The action of the city council shall be noted on two copies of the tentative plan or map, referred and attached to any conditions determined. One copy shall be returned to the subdivider and the other retained by the city clerk.

(e) Approval of the tentative plan or map shall not constitute approval of the final plan or map. Rather it shall be deemed an expression of approval of the layout submitted on the tentative plan or map as a guide for the preparation of the final plan or map which will be submitted for the approval of the city council and for recording upon fulfillment of the requirements of these regulations and the conditions of the tentative plan or map, if any.
