DIVISIONS OF FOUR LOTS OR LESS
Sections:
17.28.010 Generally.
When an owner or subdivider elects to subdivide one or more lots into not more than four new lots and does not propose to record a subdivision map as provided by this title, it shall be done as provided in this section. For the purpose of this section, a lot is defined as any separate parcel of land within the city, regardless of size. (Ord. 182 § 7.01, 1966)
17.28.020 Method.
A lot or lots shall not be divided without the approval of the city council following a report by the planning commission. The approval of lot divisions or subdivisions of four or less lots shall follow the provisions of this title pertaining to subdivisions with the following exceptions:
(1) In lieu of the final map required for subdivisions the owner or subdivider shall file a parcel map herein.
(2) All public dedications and all improvements as required by this title shall be made or otherwise guaranteed prior to acceptance by the city or land divisions proposed.
(3) In lieu of the tentative tract number the planning director will assign a lot division number.
(4) The planning director may waive such information regularly required on the tentative map where, in his opinion, such information is not relevant to the division proposed. (Ord. 182 § 7.02, 1966)
17.28.030 Parcel map.
A parcel map may be filed for any division of land for which a subdivision map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act. In such case there shall be filed in the office of the county recorder a parcel map conforming, in respect to design, to a tentative map approved in the manner provided by this title.
The same improvements as required by this chapter for a subdivision shall be required in the case of a parcel map, except for those improvements found by the council to be unnecessary for the public convenience and necessity.
The construction of any of these improvements shall be required and accomplished in the manner prescribed in this title for a subdivision for which a final map is filed. (Ord. 182 § 7.03, 1966)
17.28.040 Parcel map waiver.
Whenever the city council, or the planning commission, if the decision has been delegated to it by ordinance, finds that a proposed division of land complies with the ordinances and requirements of the city as they relate to area, improvement of public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, and environmental protection and other provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and ordinances of the city, then the procedures of the Subdivision Map Act as they relate to the filing of a parcel map may be waived, to the extent such waiver is permitted by the Subdivision Map Act.
Any such waiver shall be confirmed by a written resolution of the city council, or the planning commission if the decision has been delegated to it by ordinance. (Ord. 506 § 2, 1975)
