A. General Plan and Zoning Laws. The general plan for the city guides the use of all land within the corporate boundaries of the city. The size and design of lots, the nature of utilities, the design and improvement of streets, the type and intensity of land use, and the provisions for any special facilities in any subdivision must conform to the land uses shown and the standards established in the general plan and the zoning laws of the city and any precise plans adopted for the area in conformance thereto.

B. Environmental Impact. The environmental impact of any subdivision must be considered in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, as amended, and the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, adopted by the Secretary for Resources of the state and the council as they now exist or may hereafter be amended, and in accordance with ordinances and resolutions of the city council adopted from time to time to implement the provisions of the Environmental Quality Act.

C. Community Facilities. The impact of any proposed subdivisions upon community facilities, such as schools, parks, recreation areas and the like, must be considered. The provisions of this title establish procedures for the referral of proposed subdivision data to city departments, interested boards, bureaus and other governmental agencies, and utility companies, both public and private, so that the extension of community facilities and utilities may be accomplished in an orderly manner and coordinated with the development of the subdivision. In order to facilitate the acquisition of land areas required to implement this policy, the city may require that the subdivider dedicate, grant easements or otherwise reserve land for such public purposes as specified in the Subdivision Map Act.
