San Fernando Municipal Code Div. 1 Generally

No subdivision map shall be approved unless it complies with the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code § 66410 et seq., this chapter and all conditions or requirements imposed pursuant to the requirements thereof. However, when the failure of a map to so comply is the result of a technical or inadvertent error which, in the determination of the planning commission, does not materially affect the validity of the map, the provision may be waived.

(Code 1957, § 24.4)

In addition to the tentative, final and parcel maps required pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code § 66410 et seq., the following requirements shall be met:

(1) A parcel map shall be required for any subdivision for which a tentative and final map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code § 66410 et seq., except when such act specifically provides that a parcel map shall not be required for a particular type of project or the requirement of a parcel map has been waived pursuant to division 3 of this article.

(2) A tentative parcel map shall be required for all subdivisions described by Government Code § 66426(a)—(e) and for subdivisions creating four or fewer parcels.

(3) No parcel maps shall be required for lot line adjustments. The applications for lot line adjustments shall be submitted to the planning department on such forms and with such attachments as may reasonably be required by that department. The planning director shall approve lot line adjustments. If an applicant is dissatisfied by any action taken by the planning director, the decision of the planning director may be appealed to the planning commission within 15 days of the date of mailing a notice of the action taken by the planning director to the applicant.

(4) A tentative and final map shall be required for a condominium project and community apartment project and any conversion of a dwelling to a stock cooperative.

(Code 1957, § 24.7)

All maps required under this article shall specifically provide for proper grading and erosion control, including the prevention of sedimentation or damage to off-site property.
