16.92 Maps

The purpose of this chapter is to outline the specific maps required by this article and the subdivision map act, and the procedures for amending, correcting and requesting waiver of these maps, as well as the issuance of certificates of compliance.

(Ord. 182 § 2 (part), 1997)

A tentative and final map shall be required for all subdivisions creating five or more parcels, in compliance with state law (Government Code Section 66426).

(Ord. 182 § 2 (part), 1997)

A. Parcel Map Required. A tentative and final parcel map shall be required for all divisions of land creating four or less parcels, as well as those divisions identified in state law (Government Code Section 66426).

B. Parcel Map Not Required. A tentative and final parcel map shall not be required for those divisions outlined in state law (Government Code Section 66428), nor for lot line adjustments contained in Government Code Section 66412 [d].

(Ord. 182 § 2 (part), 1997)

A. Applicability. The council may, upon the director's recommendation, waive parcel map requirements for the following divisions of real property:

1. Judicial Action. Created by probate, eminent domain procedures, partition, or other civil judgments or

decrees; or

2. Public Entity Conveyance. Resulting from the conveyance of land or interest to or from the city, public entity or public utility for a public purpose (e.g., school sites, public building sites, or rights-of-way or easements for streets, sewers, utilities, drainage, etc.).

3. Map Conditions Completely Met. The waiver of a final parcel map means that enough information is available to establish the boundaries of the parcels from existing recorded monuments and that the necessary conditions of the tentative map have been met, therefore, a final parcel map is not required.

B. Procedure. The following procedures shall apply to parcel map waivers:

1. Findings. A parcel map may be waived by the council, in compliance with state law (Government Code

Section 66428), only if all of the following findings of fact can be made in a positive manner:

a. The proposed division of land complies with all applicable city requirements as to area, improvement and design, flood water drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental protection and other requirements of the subdivision map act, and the municipal code; and

• b. Public improvements would not be necessary or desirable as a consequence of the proposed division.

2. Certificate of Compliance. Upon waiving the parcel map requirement, the council shall direct the city engineer to file, with the county recorder, a certificate of compliance for the land to be divided and a plat map showing the division; and

3. Appropriate Fees. A parcel map waived by the council may be conditioned to provide for payment of all appropriate fees.

(Ord. 293 § I (part), 2004; Ord. 182 § 2 (part), 1997)

A. Request. A person owning real property within the city may request whether the property complies with the provisions ofthe subdivision map act and this development code. Following review and approval by the city engineer shall cause a certificate of compliance to be filed for recordation with the county recorder, in compliance with state law (Government Code Section 66499.35). A request for a conditional certificate of compliance shall also be reviewed and approved by the director.

After a final or parcel map is filed with the county recorder, it may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map, in compliance with state law (Government Code Section 66469 et seq.). The certificate of correction or amending map, shall be submitted to the city engineer, and processed in compliance with state law (Government Code Section 66471).
