BACKGROUND
The City of Redding attaches conditions of approval to each subdivision. The list
i 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 subdivision 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 4 .
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 . "
I 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.
r
j 2. A current title report is to be submitted with the final map.
3. Sewer, water, and other utilities; drainage facilities; necessary ease-
, ments; and street dedications are to be provided in accordance with the
Redding City Code and as approved by the Public Works Department.
4. The final improvement plans are to be reviewed by the Shasta Mosquito
Abatement District.
