SEC. 1346. IMPROVEMENT PLANS.
§ 1346
Before a subdivider files the Final Map, they must submit improvement plans prepared by a registered civil engineer to the City Engineer for approval. The City Engineer has 14 days to review and return the plans with approval, disapproval, or conditional approval.
When someone is dividing land into smaller lots (subdividing), they need to hire a civil engineer to create improvement plans—drawings and details for things like roads and utilities. These plans must follow the City's Subdivision Regulations and be submitted to the City Engineer before the final map is filed. The City Engineer then has two weeks to review them and say yes, no, or yes with conditions. Both sides can agree to take more time if needed.
- Could be simpler:Subsection (d) about specifications supplementing Standard Specifications is vague and could be clearer about what 'specifications' means and when they are required versus optional.
