Chapter 16.10 — TYPES OF SUBDIVISION MAPS

This chapter establishes the types of subdivision maps required. (Ord. 539 § 1, 2011)

• A. Tentative Maps and Final Maps Required. Any subdivision or resubdivision of land creating five or more lots shall require the filing and approval of a tentative map and final map except as provided by Section 66426 of the Subdivision Map Act and subsection C of this section.

• B. Tentative Parcel Maps and Parcel Maps Required. Tentative parcel maps and parcel maps shall be required for the division into fewer than five lots and of divisions into five or more lots that meet the exceptions provided in Section 66426 of the Subdivision Map Act and subsection C.

• C. Waiver of a Tentative Map or Tentative Parcel Map. Notwithstanding other requirements of this title, a tentative map or tentative parcel map shall not be required for any of the following actions:

  1. Railroad Rights-of-Way. Subdivisions of a portion of the operating right-of-way of a railroad corporation defined as such by Section 230 of the Public Utilities Code which are created by short term leases (terminable by either party on not more than 30 days' notice in writing).

  2. Government and Utilities. Land conveyed to or from a government agency, public entity, public utility or for land conveyed to a subsidiary of a public utility for conveyance to such public utility rights-of-way, unless a showing is made in individual cases, upon substantial evidence, that public policy necessitates a parcel map.

3. Less than Five Lots. For divisions of less than five lots the City Engineer may waive the tentative parcel map requirement if the proposal complies with all City requirements as to Zoning Regulations, street improvements, flood and drainage improvements, water supply, sanitary sewer, electrical improvements, natural gas, cable and telephone improvements and dedication of all necessary rights-of-way. A waiver of a tentative parcel map under this subsection shall be subject to all City parkland dedication requirements, drainage fees, development impact fees and other City and local agency fees. Whenever a tentative parcel map is waived under this subsection it shall be subject to the same time limits and extension of time as a tentative map. A parcel map shall be submitted and approved by the City Engineer.
