provided that the proposed changes are consistent with the intent of the original map
approval, do not affect off-site properties, and there are no resulting violations of Municipal
Code. Modifications shall be considered minor if they are less than 10 percent of the total
number of lots in the subdivision, provided that there is no increase or decrease in the
total number of lots within the subdivision. Modifications to the horizontal alignment of two
feet or less, or vertical alignment of two feet or less, of any cul-de-sac, local or collector
roadway when such modification does not affect off-site property. And any other changes,
which, in the opinion of the Director and/or City Engineer, do not involve substantial
changes to the map or the conditions of approval.
7. Modifications to the approved Tentative Tract Map not consistent with the minor
modification, shall be processed as a revised map, following the procedures of the original
submittal pursuant to Municipal Code, Chapter 17.16.
8. Any details that are inconsistent with requirements of state and local ordinances,

on the site, on-site detention or other facilities approved by the City Engineer, shall be
required to contain the increased storm water runoff generated by the development of the
property. Provide a hydrology study to determine the volume of increased storm water
runoff due to development of the site, and to determine required storm water runoff

site streets as required by and at the discretion of the City Engineer, including pavement
repairs that are made by utility companies for utilities installed for the benefit of the
proposed development. Multiple excavations, trenches, and other street cuts within
existing asphalt concrete pavement of off-site streets required by the proposed
development may require complete grinding and asphalt concrete overlay of affected off-
site streets, at the discretion of the City Engineer. The pavement condition of the existing
off-site streets shall be returned to a condition equal to or better than what existed prior to
construction of the proposed development.
