the design, improvement and survey data of subdivisions and the form

to be followed in securing official approval are governed by the
provisions of this chapter and by the additional provisions of local
ordinances dealing with subdivisions, the enactment of which is
required by this chapter.
(b) Local ordinances may provide a proper and reasonable fee to be
collected from the subdivider for the examination of tentative and
final maps.
66474.61. In cities having a population of more than 2,800,000, the
advisory agency, appeal board or legislative body shall deny
approval of a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative
map was not required, if it makes any of the following findings:
(a) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable
general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451.
(b) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is
not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
(f) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements
is likely to cause serious public health problems.
(g) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements
will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for

that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided,
and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously
acquired by the public.

jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body
to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for

control board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000)
of the Water Code. In the event that the advisory agency, appeal
board or legislative body finds that the proposed waste discharge
would result in or add to violation of requirements of such board,
the body making such finding may disapprove the tentative map or maps
of the subdivision.
66474.64. In cities having a population of more than 2,800,000, if
