HAYS, City Attorney �` CITY OF REDDING, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL POLICY SUBJECT POLICY EFFECTIVE STANDARD SUBDIVISION CONDITIONS NUMBER DATE PAGE i 1 of 3 BACKGROUND The City of Redding attaches conditions of approval to each subdivision. The list of conditions is generally lengthy and many of the conditions of approval apply to every subdivision. The list of conditions of approval could be shortened by identifying the conditions that are common to all subdivisions and listing them out in a resolution. Therefore, a subdivision would be approved subject to a shortened list of conditions, the first of which would read, "The standard conditions for subdivisions delineated in Resolution No. shall be met." Subsequent conditions would then be tailored to suit the particular subdivision. PURPOSE It is the purpose of this policy to clearly identify standard subdivision conditions that apply to all subdivisions in order to achieve the following benefits: 1. The standard subdivision conditions list would be readily available for public distribution, and developers and other interested parties would know up-front what "standard conditions" always apply. This would serve to eliminate some of the confusion and/or fear attributable to a "long" list of conditions. 2. The list of conditions would be less bulky; and therefore, at the Board of Administrative Review or Planning Commission meetings, all concerned parties would be able to focus on the project-specific conditions rather than the more generic "applicable to all." 3. Accidental deletion of appropriate standard conditions from the conditions list would be eliminated. POLICY The following conditions shall be considered the Standard Subdivision Conditions of the City of Redding: 1. Subdivision improvements are to conform to Title 17 of the Redding City Code. 2. A current title report is to be submitted with the final map. 3. Sewer lines, waterlines, electric-service facilities and other utilities; drainage facilities; necessary electric- and public-service easements; and street dedications are to be provided in accordance with the Redding Municipal Code and as specified by the Public Works Department. 4. The final improvement plans are to be reviewed by the Shasta Mosquito Abatement District. 5. No construction is to occur prior to approval of improvement plans and issuance of a grading permit. Grading plans shall include, but not be limited to, all erosion-control measures, retaining walls required, slopes, and elevations. �I i� CITY OF REDDING, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL POLICY SUBJECT POLICY EFFECTIVE 'i STANDARD SUBDIVISION CONDITIONS NUMBER DATE PAGE 2 of 3 6.
