18.19.020 Filing and processing.
A. Whenever this title requires the filing of a tentative parcel map for a residential development, the subdivider may file a vesting tentative parcel map in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as a tentative parcel map, except as provided in this chapter.
B. At the time a vesting tentative parcel map is filed, the words “vesting tentative parcel map” shall appear conspicuously on its face.
C. In addition to the other information required by this title to be shown on a tentative parcel map, a vesting tentative parcel map shall show or be accompanied by the following information in a form satisfactory to the Director of Development Services and the City Engineer:
1. The height, bulk and location of proposed buildings.
2. The design and specifications of all public facilities including, but not limited to, on- and off-site sewer, water, drainage, roads, and other improvements. The subdivider shall submit detailed geological, drainage, flood control, soils, traffic, or other reports deemed necessary by the City Engineer or the Director of Development Services to permit complete review of the design and improvements for the subdivision. The subdivider, for subdivisions over five units, shall also submit a fiscal impact report prepared by an independent economic analyst, analyzing the projected impacts the development will have on services; the report shall include marketing information and a cost benefit analysis for the project.
3. Detailed final grading plans showing existing and proposed finished grades at two-foot intervals.
4. Information on the uses to which the buildings will be put and general architectural renderings of the buildings.
5. Detailed landscape plans.
D. Notwithstanding any provisions of this code to the contrary, all vesting tentative parcel maps shall be referred to the City Engineer for consideration. The decision of the City Engineer shall be final unless the decision is appealed to the Council pursuant to applicable provisions of this code.
E. Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, the time for filing a parcel map for a vesting tentative parcel map shall not be extended. Failure to file a parcel map within the time period established by this code shall terminate all proceedings, and no parcel map for all or any part of the property included within the vesting tentative parcel map shall be filed without first processing a new tentative parcel map pursuant to this title.
F. A vesting tentative parcel map shall not be approved or conditionally approved unless the City Engineer finds on the basis of studies and reports submitted by the subdivider that all public facilities necessary to serve the subdivision or mitigate any impacts created by the subdivision will be available for the entire time that the vesting tentative parcel map is valid, plus any time during which the rights conferred by CVMC 18.19.030 exist.
