The subdivision committee may, in its discretion, waive all
or part of the requirements for a tentative and parcel map for the

(a)
Division of real property or interests therein created by probate,
eminent domain procedures, partition, or other civil judgments or
decrees.
(b)
Division of real property resulting from the conveyance of land or
any interest therein to or from the city, public entity or public
utility for a public purpose such as school sites, public building
sites, or rights-of-way or easements for streets, sewers, utilities,
drainage, etc.
(c)
Division of real property which has been merged pursuant to this
chapter, the Subdivision Map Act or any prior ordinance of the city.
(d)
Any other division of real property which would otherwise require
a parcel map as authorized by the provisions of the Subdivision Map
Act.
The subdivision committee shall make a finding that the proposed
division of land complies with requirements as to area, improvement
and design, flood water drainage control, appropriate improved public
roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental
protection, and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, this
chapter, this Code and the General Plan.
Upon the waiver of the parcel map requirement, or the tentative
and final map requirement, pursuant to this section, the public works
director shall file with the county recorder a certificate of compliance
for the land to be divided, complete with certificate by the county
tax collector, and a plat map showing the division.
A waiver by the subdivision committee may be conditioned to
provide for, among other things, payment by the subdivider of parkland
dedication, drainage, and other fees that are permitted by law by
a method approved by the subdivision committee.
If any waiver is approved or conditionally approved pursuant
to this section, the department shall report any action thereof to
the planning commission.

and easements adjoining or within the subdivision shall be tied into
the survey. The allowable error of closure on any portion of the parcel
map shall not exceed 1/10,000 for field closures and 1/20,000 for
