Except as provided in this chapter, a parcel map shall be filed and recorded for any subdivision for which a final map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act.

(Ord. 365 § 5.101, 1978).

A. The commission may by resolution waive the requirement for a parcel map if it determines such map is not required because the proposed division of land complies with all the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this title, and it makes the findings set forth in Section 66428 of the Subdivision Map Act.

B. If the commission determines that a parcel map is not required it shall find and record in writing in the office of the recorder of the county that the proposed division of land complies with the provisions of this title.

(Ord. 365 § 5.102, 1978).

A tentative map shall be submitted for all land to be divided by a parcel map. Except as provided in this chapter, the tentative map shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16.16.

(Ord. 365 § 5.103, 1978).

Within thirty-six months of the date of approval or conditional approval of a tentative map, the subdivider may cause a parcel map to be prepared and filed in accordance with the tentative map as approved in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the Subdivision Map Act.

The application shall include a justification for approval of the extension, an explanation stating the reason the map was not finalized within the initial map life, and an anticipated project activity timeline.

Upon submittal of a complete application to extend the map, the map shall be automatically extended for sixty days or until the application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied, whichever occurs first. A fee for processing any such extension shall be required in an amount to be determined by resolution of the council.
