Subdivisions requiring a parcel map or parcel map waiver are subject to the same design regulations and requirements for dedications and improvements as subdivisions requiring a final map, provided that completion of required improvements in any division of land which is not a subdivision of five (5) or more lots shall be governed by section 64411.1 of the Subdivision Map Act.

(Ord. No. NS-1073, § 1, 3-15-71; Ord. No. NS-1390, § 4, 11-21-77)

Note— See the editor's note at § 34-98.

Parcel maps shall be processed and approved by the city engineer in the same manner as final maps. No parcel map shall be approved if it fails to conform to a previously approved and unexpired tentative map.

(Ord. No. NS-1073, § 1, 3-15-71; Ord. No. NS-1253, § 3, 3-10-75; Ord. No. NS-1390, § 5, 11-21-77; Ord. No. NS-1698, § 1,10-10-83; Ord. No. NS-2482, § 10, 12-3-01)

(a) The director of planning shall waive the requirement that a parcel map be filed and approved for any particular proposed subdivision as to which a parcel map would otherwise be required, provided he finds that:

(1) Any and all required dedications and improvements have been completed;

(2) The design of the proposed subdivision is in conformity with an approved and unexpired tentative map; and

(3) The proposed subdivision complies with all such other requirements as may have been established pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act and the ordinances of the City of Santa Ana, including requirements as to area, improvement and design, floodwater drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, and environmental protection.

(b) A subdivider may apply for waiver of the parcel map requirement by submitting a written request for such waiver to the director of planning, together with legal descriptions of the parcel to be subdivided and each parcel proposed to result from the subdivision and together with such application fee as may be established by resolution of the city council. Upon receipt of such application, the director of planning shall, together with the city engineer, review the proposed subdivision for compliance with subsection (a) hereinabove.

(c) In the event that the director of planning determines that the proposed subdivision does not comply with subsection (a), he shall notify the subdivider in writing of the reasons for such determination. If the subdivider, within sixty (60) days thereafter, demonstrates that he has taken such action as is necessary to bring the proposed subdivision into compliance with subsection (a) above, the director of planning shall issue the waiver without requiring the subdivider to make new application therefor.

(d) In the event that the director of planning determines the proposed subdivision to be in compliance with subsection (a), he shall execute a written waiver of the parcel map requirement and transmit it to the subdivider, identifying the proposed subdivision both by the legal descriptions as submitted by the subdivider and by reference to the approved tentative map, and stating that he finds that the proposed subdivision complies with all requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the ordinances of the City of Santa Ana and that the requirement of a parcel map is therefore waived.

(e) The director of planning shall maintain on file in his office a copy of each waiver issued pursuant to this section, together with the tentative map upon which such waiver is based.
