GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 8.
1. Tentative and Final Maps may be rejected or disapproved
if they do not, or the subdivisions or surveys represented thereby,
together with supporting data, do not conform to the conditions
and provisions enumerated in this section as well as those pro-
vided for elsewhere in this ordinance and said Act.
2. All maps shall conform to any Official Plans and/or any
section of a Master Plan adopted by the City Council prior to the
date of filing of the tentative map with the Advisory Agency.
3. All streets and alleys shall be dedicated for public use;
and all other public areas or parcels intended for public or com-
munity use shall be dedicated for public use except those parcels
reserved for the exclusive use of lot owners of the tract as pro-
vided in said Section 11590 of said Act.
4. All proposed streets and alleys may be required to be in
alignment with certain existing streets and/or alleys; however, the
location, width, and courses of streets or alleys, regardless of align-
ment, shall be made to meet with the approval of the City Council.
5. Streets shall be required to intersect one another at an
angle as near to a right angle as is practicable in each specific
case.
6. A street or alley designed to have one end permanently
closed shall be provided at the closed end with a turning circle,
or other means satisfactory to said Council, for the turning around
of vehicular traffic; provided, however, that if such streets or
alleys would destroy the continuity of an existing street or alley,
or the existing street system, or any street or alley shown on any
Master Plan or any Section thereof or any "Official Plan," they
shall not be permitted. The radius of the turning circle for a street
shall be not less than forty-three (43) feet and for an alley shall
be not less than twenty-five (25) feet.
7. A street or alley may be terminated without a turning
circle at the boundary line of any subdivision if such street or alley
is proposed by the City Council to be extended, or is shown on any
Master or Official Plan as one which is proposed to be extended,
from said line of termination over and across land adjoining the
subdivision submitted for approval.
8. The City Council may require a street to terminate in a
turning circle, rather than to intersect another street, in order to
reduce traffic hazards, to facilitate traffic movement on major
streets, or to improve the design of the subdivision and street
pattern from the standpoint of public safety and welfare.
9. Streets shall not be less than sixty (60) feet in width, and
shall have an improved and surfaced roadway at least forty (40)
feet wide.
10. Alleys of not less than eighteen (18) feet in width shall
be required in areas designated as residential districts, and alleys
of not less than twenty (20) feet in width shall be required in all
other districts unless the rear of the lots adjoin a railroad right of
ORDINANCE No. 504 441
way. Where alleys intersect, a ten (10) foot by ten (10) foot cut-
off shall be required at all corners.
11. Names of streets, as proposed, shall be subject to change
and final approval by the City Council, and only names so approved
shall become official names. Acceptance of any street dedicated
and named by an approved final map shall.also constitute the of-
ficial naming.of said street by the City Council.
12. The plan of the streets, as to use, may be suggested by
the subdivider, but only such traffic lanes, parking strips, park-
ways, sidewalks, and provision for utilities appproved by said
Council, shall be permitted.
13. (a) A curb radius of not less than twenty-five (25) feet
shall be required at corners formed by intersecting highways. A
curb radius of not more than twenty-five (25) feet may •be re-
quired at intersections of'streets and highways, which form angles
of approximately ninety (90°) degrees. In order that such curb
may be built without curtailing the sidewalk, or parkway, or com-
bination of both, to less than approved width, the property lines
at such corners shall be rounded by a radius sufficient to permit
such full-width sidewalk and/or parkway construction, provided,
however, that where a similar, existing corner at the same inter-
section provides for a greater curb radius, then said property line
curb radius may be required to conform to said existing radius,
but no property line curve radius need be over twenty-five (25)
feet in length.
(b) Where streets other than highways, or a combination of
a street and highway, intersect at approximately ninety (90°) degrees
the property line at such street corners may be required to be round-
ed by a curve formed by a radius up to fifteen (15) feet in length.
(c) Rounded block corners of larger radius than those men-
tioned above may be required where streets or State Highways in-
tersect at angles other than approximately ninety (90°) degrees.
14. No curb return having a radius less than the ,combined
sidewalk and parkway width shall be permitted.
15. Lots designed to have street frontage on both opposite
ends or sides may be considered cause for disapproval of the map.
16. Each lot in any residential district shall have a minimum
width of fifty (50) feet along the adjoining street and shall have
an area of not less than five thousand (5,000) square feet, provided
however, that where lots front upon a turning circle or a street
having a curve formed by a centerline radius of one hundred
twenty-five (125) feet or less, the width of such lots along said
street frontage may be reduced to twenty-five (25) feet where said
frontage of such lot is closer to the center of the said curve than
the rear line of any such lot.
17. Each lot fronting on a highway may be required to have
a length of not less than one hundred twenty-five (125) feet.
18. In blocks over six hundred (600) feet in length, a pe-
destrian cross walk not less than six (6) feet nor more than ten
(10) feet in width may be required.
19. Along highways or railroad rights of way unusually long
blocks may be required in order to prevent frequent intersections.
20. Monuments shall .be placed at the intersections of the
442 ORDINANCE No. 504
center lines of all streets to be dedicated by said maps, at the in-
tersections of said center lines with the center lines or monumented
center lines of streets existing prior to the filing of said maps, and
at such other angle points or points of curve as the City Engineer
may require. Said monuments shall be permanent, adequate and of
a standard type approved by said City engineer, and shall be set
sufficiently deep so that the tops of said monuments shall be at
least one (1) foot below the official paving grade of said streets
at such points. On streets paved prior to the development of the
subdivision, center line points of a type satisfactory to the City
Engineer may be set in the pavement instead of monuments.
21. If, in the opinion of the City Council, the streets and
alleys shown on any tentative map do not provide the most suit-
able, reasonable, or economic locations for any of the distribution
facilities of the utilities, such as sewers, storm drains, water and
gas mains, and pole lines and/or conduits for electric current, or
other devices providing for community service, into or through
the land shown on said map either for the service thereof or for
the service of other areas, said Council may require provision to be
made for the location of such utilities and facilities therefor on
routes elsewhere than within said streets or alleys. This may be
done either by the dedication of the public easements for said
utility purpose as part of the final map, or by the filing of supple-
mentary instruments which shall adequately protect the public in-
terest in the matter of location and of right of way for said utility
purposes. Said easements may be required to be adjacent to and
follow lot lines.
22. Areas which are a part of or within one hundred (100)
feet of existing natural water courses shall not be subdivided with-
out approved restrictions as to the use thereof, in addition to those
imposed by other ordinances.
23. All maps filed for approval shall show the required data
in a generally approved manner, and opaque ink shall be used on
all stamped or written matter including signatures, so that legible
prints thereof can be produced.
24. No tentative, record of survey or final map showing land
subdivision plans which would cause a burden or hardship on prop-
erty adjoining said subdivision, shall be approved. Reserve strips
at the end of streets or at the boundaries of a subdivision shall be
deeded unconditionally to the City of Huntington Beach.
25. A copy of the applicable deed restrictions, or tract re-
strictions, if any, shall be submitted with filed maps.
26. If a parcel of land or portion thereof, shown on the last
preceeding tax roll as a unit or as contiguous units, is divided into
five (5) or more parcei.s within any one-year period for the pur-
pose of lease, whether immediate or future, then leasing, contract-
ing to lease, or offering tQ lease any or all of such lots or parcels
so created shall be unlawful until a tentative and final map thereof,
in full compliance with the provisions hereof and of said act, has
been approved by the City Council, and the same regulations and
requirements hereof as to design and improvements as would be
required in a subdivision of such land have been accomplished or
an agreement, satisfactory to said City Council, that such re-
ORDINANCE No. 504 443
quirements will be met, and such improvements will be installed,
has been made.
27. The City Council may require a right-of-way for or an
agreement to permit a railroad ,over and across land which lies
in an industrial district as determined by the Districting Ordinance
of the City of Huntington Beach, California, (Ordinance No. 495)
if such railroad right-of-way is considered by the City Council to
be necessary for development of such land and for adjacent land
lying within any such industrial use district.
SECTION 9.
The provisions and procedure of this ordinance and said Act
relating to tentative and final maps shall also. apply to record of
survey maps, except where such provisions are in conflict with

or record of ,survey map, shall pay the actual costs, of all work
done by or under the direction of the City Engineer of the City
of Huntington Beach in checking all maps, date and information
presented to said Engineer, City Council and Advisory Agency re-
lating to such maps. Such subdivider or other person shall deposit
with said City, prior to any work being done by said Engineer, a
sum sufficient to cover such costs, which sum shall be estimated
by said Engineer. In the event the actual.costs of ,checking shall
be in excess of the sum on deposit, the final map shall not be
approved, nor the City Engineer's certificate signed on any record
of survey map, until such actual costs shall have been paid. In
the event the sum on deposit shall be in excess,of the actual costs,
the City shall return such excess to the person making such de-
posit immediately after the approval of the final map or the
signing of the record of survey map by said Engineer.
SECTION 12.
(a) The provisions of this ordinance are considered to be the
minimum requirements necessary to protect the public interest in
the matter of the subdivision of land and developments incidental
thereto. If, in any certain case, the requirements hereof as to
444 ORDINANCE No. 504
street or alley width, location, termination or extension or as to
any other specific provision affecting the physical development of
the land cannot be carried out without causing results inconsistent
with the intent and purpose of this ordinance or without causing
grossly inefficient use of land or without otherwise producing ex-
ceptional and unnecessary difficulties which could be relieved by
a modification of the fixed requirements of this ordinance, but not
defeat its general purpose, such modifications or conditions may
be made by the City Council as to any certain subdivision or other
map requiring approval of the City Council by the following pro-
cedure:
(b) If the subdivider or other person submitting the map is
dissatisfied with the conditional approval or disapproval of the
map by the Advisory Agency, he may appeal to the City Council in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11552 of Article 4 of
the Subdivision Map Act, except that such public hearing as pro-
vided for therein shall be advertised in a newspaper of general
circulation in said City at least five (5) days prior to the date
