2. PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE TUSTIN SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
(ARTICLE 9, CHAPTER 3 OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE) - TRANSMITTAL.
Originally established in 1952, the City’s Subdivision Ordinance has been
updated on numerous occasions. The last comprehensive revision of the
City’s Subdivision Ordinance occurred in 1981, with the last specific update
occurring on February 18, 1997. Staff has prepared draft Code Amendment
2013-002 (Ordinance No. 1430) as a comprehensive update of the Subdivision
Code.
In general, land cannot be divided in California without local government
approval. Dividing land for sale, lease or financing is regulated by the
California Subdivision Map Act (commencing with Government Code Section
66410) and local ordinances that are consistent with the Act. The Subdivision
Code establishes regulations concerning the design of the subdivision, the size
of its lots, and the types of improvements (street construction, sewer lines,
drainage facilities, etc.), and the form and content of all required maps in
Tustin, and is based upon the Subdivision Map Act.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission receive the Community Development
Department’s draft update of the Tustin Subdivision Ordinance and set the item
for public hearing on June 11, 2013.
Presentation: Dana L. Ogdon, Assistant Director of Community Development

City’s Commendation Program recognizes an Old Town property of
