Subject to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, and in addition to any other regulations provided by law, the regulations hereinafter in this code shall apply to all subdivisions or parts of subdivisions hereafter made, of land within the City, and to the preparation of subdivision maps thereof, and to other maps provided for by the Subdivision Map Act, for approval; and each such subdivision within the City shall be made, and each such map shall be prepared and presented for approval, as hereinafter provided for and required in this code. (Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/2013)

Provisions of this code which exempt a subdivider from complying with a design, improvement, dedication or fee requirement, or which provide for the waiver of such a requirement because of the size of parcels resulting from a subdivision, shall not be construed to apply to lease projects, condominiums, or community apartment projects subject to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act.

(Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/2013)

A violation of this code which is not also prohibited by the Subdivision Map Act or by any other State statute is subject to the penalties as set forth in Title 23. (Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/2013)

If any provision of this code, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held to be invalid, the remainder of the code and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

(Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/2013)

Although the subdivider is the real party in interest in such an action, the City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of the action, but such participation shall not relieve the subdivider of its obligations under this condition. (Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/2013)
