Camarillo Municipal Code Ch. 18.08 Maps Required

The necessity for tentative, final and parcel maps shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter.

(Ord. 570 § 3 (part), 1984.)

A tentative and final map shall be required for all subdivisions creating five or more parcels, five or more condominiums as defined in Section 18.04.040 of this title, a community apartment project containing five or more parcels, or for the conversion of a dwelling to a stock cooperative containing five or more dwelling units, except where:

A. The land before division contains less than five acres, each parcel created by the division abuts upon a maintained public street or highway and no dedications or improvements are required by the legislative body; or

B. Each parcel created by the division has a gross area of twenty acres or more and has an approved access to a maintained public street or highway; or

C. The land consists of a parcel or parcels of land having approved access to a public street or highway which comprises part of a tract of land zoned for industrial or commercial development, and which has the approval of the governing body as to street alignments and widths; or

D. Each parcel created by the division has a gross area of not less than forty acres or is not less than a quarter of a quarter section.

(Ord. 570 § 3 (part), 1984.)

A tentative and final parcel map shall be required for all subdivisions to which this title applies which create four or less parcels, lot line adjustments as provided in Section 18.20.160, and those subdivisions described in subsections (A), (B), (C) and (D) of Section 18.08.020, except that the planning and community development director may waive the parcel map requirement as provided in Section 18.20.030.

(Ord. 810 § 6, 1994: Ord. 570 § 3 (part), 1984.)

A. A remainder may not be created which fails to meet all minimum requirements for a legal lot.

B. When a subdivision is of a portion of any unit or units of improved or unimproved land, the subdivider may designate as a remainder that portion which is not divided for the purpose of sale, lease or financing. As an alternative to designating a remainder, the subdivider may omit entirely that portion of any unit of improved or unimproved land which is not divided for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing. If the subdivider elects to designate a remainder, the following requirements shall apply:

1. The designated remainder shall not be counted as a parcel for the purpose of determining whether a parcel map or final map is required.

2. For a designated remainder parcel described in this subdivision, the fulfillment of construction requirements for improvements, including the payment of fees associated with any deferred improvements, shall not be required until a permit or other grant of approval for development of the remainder parcel is issued by the city or, where provided by ordinance, until the construction of the improvements, including the payment of fees associated with any deferred improvements, is required pursuant to an agreement between the subdivider and the city or other local agency. In the absence of that agreement, the city may require fulfillment of the construction requirements, including the payment of fees associated with any deferred improvements, within a reasonable time following approval of the final map and prior to the issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for the development of a remainder parcel upon a finding by the city that fulfillment of the construction requirements is necessary for reasons of:

a. The public health and safety; or

b. The required construction is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.

C. As an alternative to designating a remainder, if the subdivider elects to omit all or a portion of any unit of improved or unimproved land which is not divided for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing, the omitted portion shall not be counted as a parcel for purposes of determining whether a parcel or final map is required, and the fulfillment of construction requirements for offsite improvements, including the payment of fees associated with any deferred improvements, shall not be required until a permit or other grant of approval for development is issued on the omitted parcel, except where allowed pursuant to subsection (B)(2) of this section.

D. The provisions of subsections (B) and (C) of this section, providing for deferral of the payment of fees associated with any deferred improvements, shall not apply if the designated remainder or omitted parcel is included within the boundaries of a benefit assessment district or community facilities district.

E. A designated remainder or any omitted parcel may subsequently be sold without any further requirement of the filing of a parcel map or final map, but the city may require a certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance.

(Ord. 810 § 7, 1994.)

All persons submitting maps as required by this title shall pay all fees and/or deposits as provided by city council resolutions establishing fees and deposits.
