Chapter 16.08 — MAPS

It is declared that any land that is divided in any method or manner whatsoever shall be accomplished by either a subdivision map or parcel map, which must first be approved by the advisory agent as defined hereinafter in Section 16.16.010 , and the council. Such maps shall meet all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this title. (Prior code § 9502.010)

A parcel map shall be filed and recorded for any subdivision for which a tentative and final map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act, except for subdivisions created by short-term leases (terminable by either party on not more than 30 days' notice in writing) of a portion of an operating right-of-way of a railroad corporation defined as such by Section 230 of the Public Utilities Code; provided, however, that upon a showing made to the city council based upon substantial evidence that the public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply. (Prior code § 9502.020)
