AGENDA REPORT
DATE: February 23, 2004
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Douglas A. Dancs, P.E. Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: COUNCIL APPROVAL: PUBLIC WORKS - STANDARD
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR VESTING
TENTATIVE AND TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAPS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will adopt Council Resolution approving
standard conditions of approval for vesting tentative and tentative subdivision maps and
authorize the Director of Public Works /City Engineer to make changes as required by
new regulations, for improvements to the infrastructure, and for the protection of public
health and safety.
BACKGROUND:
On August 11, 2003, City Council approved the use of standard conditions for the Pacific
Gateway project by Boeing Realty Corporation. It is now appropriate to incorporate
these standards for all future vesting tentative and tentative subdivision maps as the
minimum standards for the City's use in conditioning development projects.
The standards cover eight applicable sections including streets, grading, drainage, utility
services and map recordation. They also contain the language as required by the City's
storm water Local Implementation Plan for protecting water quality in Seal Beach. As an
approved list of Standard Conditions, this information will be more readily available to
the public and to developers proposing new development in the City. In addition, at the
time of future tentative map approvals, the City Council will have the option to add
additional specific conditions to any project pursing the tentative map status from the
City Council. Both the Development Services Department and the City's Planning
Commission have reviewed and approved this documents use in the past.
The Public Works Department has also reviewed different cities plans and materials to
develop the attached standard conditions. The Director of Public Works /City Engineer
will also be authorized to make any changes to the standard conditions as required by a
new regulation such as the State Water Quality Regional Board, for improvements to the
infrastructure, and to make any changes as required to protect public health and safety.
