§ 8203-1. Submission.

Unless otherwise provided in this Chapter, each proposed subdivision shall first be submitted to the Planning Division of the Resource Management Agency in the form of a tentative map. Tentative maps shall be prepared and submitted in compliance with all applicable State laws and County ordinances.

(a)

Identification Number—A subdivider desiring to submit a tentative map shall first obtain a tract number if the subdivision requires preparation of a final map, or a parcel map number if the subdivision requires preparation of a parcel map. The number may be obtained only from the County Surveyor upon payment of the fee prescribed therefor by the Board of Supervisors.

(b)

Number of Copies—The number of copies required for submission of a tentative map shall be determined by the Planning Division based, in part, on the type of proposed subdivision, location of the property, and any known issues related to the area.

(c)

Vesting Tentative Maps—A subdivider desiring to obtain the development rights conferred by Chapter 4.5 (Commencing with Section 66498.1) of the Subdivision Map Act shall print the words "Vesting Tentative Map" conspicuously on the face of each copy of the tentative map prior to submitting the tentative map to the Planning Division.

(d)

Phased Maps—A subdivider desiring to record multiple final maps or multiple parcel maps relating to a single tentative map shall so inform the Planning Division in writing at the time the tentative map is submitted, provided that, at any time prior to approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, the Advisory Agency may waive this requirement.
