Except as specifically excluded by the Subdivision Map Act of the State or this chapter, the provisions of this chapter shall apply to any division of real property wholly or partially within the incorporated area of the City and shall govern the filing, processing, approval, conditional approval, or disapproval of tentative, final, and parcel maps and any modifications thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter and in the Subdivision Map Act of the State, all subdivisions shall be subject to the same substantive and procedural requirements. Subdivisions of unincorporated territory adjacent to the City, in the County, shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter to the extent permitted and as provided by Section 66454 of the Government Code of the State.

Whenever, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the Community Development Director, or the Council, the land involved in any subdivision is of such size or shape, or is subject to such title limitations of record, or is affected by such topographical location or conditions, or is to be devoted to such use that it is inadvisable or impracticable in the particular case to conform fully to the regulations contained in this chapter, the Community Development Director, the Planning Commission, or the Council may make such modifications thereof as in its opinion are reasonably necessary or expedient and in conformity with the Subdivision Map Act of the State.
