Every tentative map shall contain the following information:
A. A title which shall contain the subdivision number, subdivision name, and type of subdivision, (subdivision of land, new condominium, condominium conversion, cooperative apartment, or stock cooperative).
B. Name and address of legal owner, subdivider, and person preparing the map (including registration number).
C. Sufficient legal description to define the boundary of the proposed subdivision.
D. Date, north arrow, scale, and contour interval.
E. Existing and proposed land use.
F. A vicinity map showing roads, adjoining subdivisions, towns, creeks, railroads, and other data sufficient to locate the proposed subdivision and show its relation to the community.
G. Existing topography of the proposed site and at least one hundred feet beyond its boundary, including but not limited to:
1. Existing contours at two foot intervals if the existing ground slope is less than ten percent and not less than five foot intervals for existing ground slopes greater than or equal to ten percent. Contour intervals shall not be spread more than one hundred fifty feet apart. Existing contours shall be represented by dashed or screened lines.
2. The approximate location and outline of existing structures identified by type. Buildings to be removed shall be so marked.
3. The approximate location of all areas subject to inundation or storm water overflow and the location, width, and direction of flow of each watercourse.
4. The location, pavement and right-of-way width, grade and name of existing streets or highways.
5. The widths, location, and identity of all existing easements.
6. The location and size of existing sanitary sewers, water mains, and storm drains. The approximate slope of existing sewers and storm drains shall be indicated.
H. Proposed improvements to be shown shall include but not be limited to:
1. The location, grade, centerline radius, and arc length of curves, pavement and right-of-way width, and name of all streets. Typical sections of all streets shall be shown.
2. The location and radius of all curb returns and cul-de-sacs.
3. The location, width, and purpose of all easements.
4. The angle of intersecting streets if such angle deviates from a right angle.
5. The approximate lot layout and the approximate dimensions of each lot and of each building site. Engineering elements shall show the approximate design of all grading and provision for erosion and sediment control, the elevation of proposed building pads, the top and toe of cut and fill slopes to scale and the slope expressed as a ratio of horizontal to vertical distance, and the number of each lot.
6. Proposed contours at two foot intervals shall be shown if the existing ground slope is less than ten percent and at not less than five foot intervals if the existing ground slope is greater than or equal to ten percent. A separate grading plan may be submitted.
7. Proposed recreation sites, trails, and parks for private or public use.
8. Proposed common areas and areas to be dedicated public open space.
9. The location and size of sanitary sewers, water mains, and storm drain. Proposed slopes and approximate elevations of sanitary sewers and storm drains shall be indicated.
I. The name or names of any geologist or soils engineer whose services were required in the preparation of the design of the tentative map.
J. The source and date of existing contours.
K. The size of all lettering shall be one-eighth inch minimum.
L. Certificates for execution by the secretary of the Planning Commission indicating the approval of the tentative map and the date thereof by the Planning Commission, a certificate for execution by the City Engineer indicating approval, and a certificate for execution by the City Clerk indicating the approval by the City Council if the map was or will be reviewed by the City Council.
M. If the subdivider plans to develop the site as shown on the tentative map in units, then they shall show the proposed units and their proposed sequence of construction on the tentative map.
The City Engineer may waive any of the foregoing tentative map requirements whenever they find that the type of subdivision is such as not to necessitate compliance with these requirements, or that other circumstances justify such waiver, provided that no other provisions of this title, the Berkeley Municipal Code, or the Subdivision Map Act are violated thereby. The City Engineer may require such other drawings, data or information as they deem necessary to carry out the provisions of this title or the Subdivision Map Act. (Ord. 5793-NS § 2 (part), 1987)
