A parcel map, upon approval by the zoning administrator, pursuant to Chapter 23.70 PGMC, 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 zoning administrator based upon substantial evidence, that public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply.
Such maps shall meet all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this title and shall show all dedications or offers of dedication thereon. The zoning administrator may require that such dedications or offers of dedication be made by deed in lieu of or in addition to appearing on the map.
