  § 21.05.045. Construction of improvements—Parcel maps.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    When improvements are required as a condition of approval of a tentative parcel map, construction of said improvements shall be completed within a reasonable time following approval of the parcel map if the subdivision review board finds that fulfillment of the construction requirements is necessary for reasons of:

    (1)

    The public health or safety; or

    (2)

    The required construction is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.

    (b)

    When improvements are required pursuant to subsection (a), the divider shall have the option of:

    (1)

    Completing all improvements prior to filing of the parcel map; or

    (2)

    Making a cash deposit or posting a certificate of deposit assigned to or made payable to the county for one hundred percent of the estimated cost of improvements, with fifty percent of that amount to be held for the laborer's and materialman's guarantee; or posting a good and sufficient improvement security in the form of a county counsel-approved performance bond or letter of credit with the county in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the cost of improvements, and a laborer's and materialman's bond or letter of credit equal to one-half of the performance bond or letter of credit. The sufficiency of the amounts of such security shall be established by the director of public works.

    (c)

    If the subdivision review board does not make the findings specified in subsections (a)(1), construction of improvement requirements for the entire parcel map shall be completed prior to issuance of any permit or any other grant of approval for development of any parcel(s)

    (d)

    Requirement for construction of improvements pursuant to subsection (c) shall be noticed by certificate on the parcel map. The form and content of the certificate shall be as prescribed by the county counsel, and shall impose upon the divider or the successors in interest of the property divided the obligation to complete construction of improvements pursuant to subsection (c) prior to issuance of any permit or other grant for development of any parcel. In addition, the divider shall provide, prior to filing the parcel map, security for the completion of improvements pursuant to subsection (c) by one of the methods specified in Government Code Section 66499, the choice of which type of security specified therein required shall be made by and is subject to approval of the county engineer. The amount of security shall be sufficient to cover the costs of improvements at the future time of construction.
