HomeMy WebLinkAbout1701 - Standard Subdivision Conditions CITY OF REDDING, CALIFORNIA COUNCIL POLICY • SUBJECT RESOLUTION POLICY EFFECTIVE PAGE NUMBER NUMBER DATE STANDARD SUBDIVISION CONDITIONS 89-85 1701 03/21/89 1 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 identify- ing the conditions that are common to all subdivisions and list- ing 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 subdivi- sion . 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 condi- tions" 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 Subdivi- sion 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 .
