(2)

Land conveyed to or from a governmental agency, public entity, public utility or for land conveyed to a subsidiary of a public utility for conveyance to such public utility for rights-of-way; provided, however, that upon a showing made

to the planning commission based on substantial evidence that public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply. Such maps shall meet all the requirements for parcel maps of the Subdivision Map Act and this title and shall conform substantially to the tentative map as approved.

(b)

The planning commission may waive the requirement for a parcel map, provided that the planning commission makes the following findings:

That the contiguous parcels to be created by the parcel map as shown on the tentative map thereof existed as separate, legally created, contiguous units shown on the last equalized county assessment role prior to the date of adoption of this section into this code.

(2)

That the proposed division of land meets all city requirements as to area, improvement and design, flood water drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, potable water supply availability, environmental protection and all other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, this title and Title 18 of this code. The subdivider shall in any case file a tentative map, drawings and such other information on any of the foregoing subjects as may be required by the planning commission.

(3)

Where the planning commission waives the requirement for a parcel map, recordation may be accomplished by record of survey or resolution as determined by the city engineer.
