(Ord. 1964 § 1 (part), 1988)

A tentative and final parcel map shall be required for all divisions of land as described in subdivisions (1) through (4) of Section 17.03.020(A) and for all divisions of land which create four or less parcels and for which a final subdivision map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act, except where:

A. The Subdivision Map Act does not require a parcel map; or

B. The parcel map is waived pursuant to Section 17.03.040; or

C. An adjustment plat is proposed to adjust the boundaries between two or more adjacent parcels (see Chapter 17.11 of this title).

(Ord. 1964 § 1 (part), 1988)

A. Under certain circumstances, as described in this section, the requirement that a parcel map be prepared may be waived by the planning commission, if requested by the subdivider, for the following:

1. The property is a division of real property interests therein created by probate, eminent domain procedures, partition, or other civil judgments or decrees; or,

2. The property to be divided is a result of conveyance of land, or interest therein, to or from a public agency for a public purpose, such as school sites, public building sites, or rights-of-way for streets, sewers, utilities, drainage, etc; or,

3. Any other division of real property which would otherwise require a parcel map.

B. Certificate of Compliance Required. In any case where waiver of a parcel map is granted, the planning commission, shall require the director of planning to file a certificate of compliance, as defined in Chapter 17.02, with the county recorder's office. The certificate shall include a statement from the county tax collector that all taxes due have been paid or that a tax bond or other adequate form of security assuring payments of all taxes which are a lien but not yet payable has been filed with the county.

C. Information Required. A tentative parcel map with a written waiver request shall contain sufficient information to enable the planning commission to make required findings consistent with the intent of this title. The request must be filed with the director of planning prior to consideration of any waiver request.

D. Required Finding. For approval of the waiver request, it shall be found that the proposed division of land shall comply with the requirements as to area, improvement and design, floodwater drainage control, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, appropriate improved public roads, environmental protection and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this title.
