(Ord. 99-23 § 1)
A. 
The director may approve or conditionally approve any tentative map if the findings listed in Section 16.09.140 can be made. The director may prohibit or limit filing of multiple final or parcel maps or place reasonable conditions on filing of multiple final or parcel maps. In making its findings in support of the approval or disapproval, the director shall apply all city standards in effect at the time the application was deemed complete; provided however, that such other city standards which may be applicable under the provisions of Government Code Section 66474.2(b) and (c) shall also be applied.
B. 
The tentative maps may be denied by the director on any of the grounds provided by the Subdivision Map Act and this title. The director shall deny approval of the tentative map if it cannot make all of the findings listed in Section 16.09.140.

Any action taken by the director on an application for a tentative map may be appealed to the planning commission, pursuant to Section 17.03.090 of the development code.
(Ord. 99-23 § 1)
Any revised tentative parcel map or portion thereof shall comply with the requirements in effect at the time such revised map is considered by the director. Such revised tentative parcel map or portion thereof shall show all the information and requirements of this title with respect to any changes that may have been made on the map. The approval or conditional approval by the director of any revised tentative map shall not be construed as extending the time within which the final tract map shall be filed unless such time extension is specifically granted by the planning commission.
(Ord. 99-23 § 1)
A. 
The requirements for a final parcel map may be waived by the approval authority for the following divisions of land upon making the findings set forth in subsection C of this section:

2. 
Division of property which has been merged pursuant to this title, the Subdivision Map Act or any prior ordinance of the city; or

Any other division of property which would otherwise require a parcel map.
B. 
In order for the requirement for a parcel map to be waived, a written request for such a waiver must be submitted to the Director as part of the tentative parcel map application.

A waiver by the advisory agency may be conditioned to provide for payment by the subdivider of applicable fees.
E. 
The parcel map waiver request shall be approved, conditionally approved or denied within the time frames set forth in Section 16.09.120.
F. 
Upon the approval authority's approval of a waiver of the parcel map pursuant to this section, the director of public works shall file with the office of the county recorder a certificate of compliance, or conditional certificate of compliance, for the land to be divided and a plat map, showing the division. The certificate shall include a certificate by the county tax collector in accordance with Article 8 of Chapter 4 of the Subdivision Map Act.
