SEC. 1320. PRE-FILING CONFERENCE.
§ 1320
Before filing a Tentative Map for a subdivision, a developer may voluntarily submit preliminary materials to the County Surveyor, who will hold a conference within 14 days with the developer and other relevant agencies to discuss the proposal. This step is optional and does not waive any subsequent filing requirements.
If you're planning to subdivide land in San Francisco, you can ask for an optional meeting with the County Surveyor before you officially file your paperwork. You would give them your preliminary plans and materials, and within two weeks they'll set up a meeting with you, the City Planning department, and other interested offices to talk about your project. This early meeting is completely optional and doesn't replace the official filing process that comes later—you still have to do all the regular steps.
