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.
