Humboldt County Municipal Code Ch. 2 Procedure and Requirements for Tentative Subdivision Maps

Sections: Subdivisions. Subdivision Processing Fees. Lots to Be Suitable. Housing Element Densities. Standards for Flood Plain Subdivision.

No subdivision shall be created until the subdivider has complied with the provisions of this chapter and the Map Act prior to subdividing property. The subdivider shall prepare and submit appropriate environmental documents and a Tentative Subdivision Map. The subdivision improvements must meet or exceed the subdivision design and improvement standards specified in Chapter 3, Division 2, of TitleIIII and the Appendix hereto. If the subdivision is approved or conditionally approved, the subdivider shall meet the conditions of approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map as specified by the Advisory Agency, submit a Final Map or Parcel Map (unless waived) and cause the improvements to be installed. (Ord. 1146, § 20, 7/19/1977)

The fees for processing subdivision maps, including Tentative Subdivision Maps, Final and Parcel Maps, Reversion to Acreage Maps and related matters, shall be established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. (Ord. 1146, § 21, 7/19/1977; Ord. 1277, § 1, 10/3/1978)

A tentative map for a subdivision in an area of special flood hazard is subject to these rules and to Chapter 5 of Division 3 of Title III of this code. Terms used in this section are defined in Section 335-2. (a) Tentative subdivision proposals shall identify the flood hazard area and the evaluation of the base flood. (b) Final subdivision maps shall indicate the elevation of proposed structures and pads. If the site is to be filled above the base flood, a registered engineer or surveyor shall certify that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot (1') at any point. This certification shall be filled with the Planning Director as required by Section 335-4(c)(3)d. (c) Tentative maps shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage. (d) Approved subdivisions shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage. (e) A proposed subdivision which would create five (5) or more parcels should be designed to assure that flood discharge from the development after construction is equal to or less than the flood discharge from the original, undeveloped land. A registered engineer shall provide a certificate for a subdivision so designed. This certificate shall be filed with the Planning Director as required by 335-4(d)(3)d. (Ord. 1541, § 2, 7/13/1982) § 322.5-1. § 322.5-2. § 322.5-3. § 322.5-4. § 322.5-5. § 322.5-6. § 322.5-7. § 322.5-8. § 322.5-9.
