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

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

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.

A tentative map and parcel map shall be required to create four or fewer parcels, including property given as a result of gift deed(s), except no parcel map shall be required for land conveyed to, or from, a governmental agency, public entity, or public utility, or for land conveyed to a subsidiary of a public utility for conveyance to the public utility for rights-of-way, unless a showing is made in individual cases, upon substantial evidence, that public policy necessitates a parcel map. (G.C. 66428)

Inapplicability. Tentative and final parcel maps shall not be required for lot line adjustments; mineral, oil or gas leases; land dedicated for cemetery purposes under the Health and Safety Code; and records of survey. (G.C. 66412)

A plot map, with copies to the public works department, in form as required by the town engineer, shall be required for all lot line adjustments and shall be approved, conditionally approved, or denied by the town engineer after the appropriate application fee has been paid and map submitted to the department. Appeals of the town engineer's decision regarding a lot line adjustment shall be made to the planning commission which shall conduct a hearing on the appeal, provided that such hearing need not be noticed nor conducted as a public hearing; provided, however, that appeals to a denial based on the town's sewage disposal requirements must follow the procedures set forth in Chapter 13.04 of this code. A plat map and associated deed(s) shall be required to record lot line adjustments, except when the town engineer requires, because of the complexity of the adjustment, monumentation and a record of survey or parcel map to be recorded. A record of survey shall be required for a lot line adjustment if required by Section 8762 of the Business and Professions Code. (G.C. 66412 (d))
