A tentative map and parcel map shall be required for all divisions of land which create less than five parcels except for:
1. 
Divisions of land 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 the Public Utilities Code § 230; provided, however, that upon a showing made to the city engineer based upon substantial evidence that public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply;
2. 
Lot line adjustments, provided:
a. 
No additional parcels or building sites have been created;
b. 
The adjustment does not create the potential to further divide either of the two parcels into more parcels than would have been otherwise possible;

There are no resulting violations of this Code;

Except when the parcel map is waived by the city engineer as provided by section 16.22.120.

All persons submitting maps as required by this title shall pay all fees and/or deposits as provided by the city's resolution establishing fees and charges, or as provided by this title.
(Code 1980, § 16.14.040; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.304, 1981)
A. 
Any submissions of a map shall not constitute submission for filing with the city until all attachments and required statements, instructions, environmental forms and clearances, and a completed application form with appropriate fees or receipts therefor are deposited with the community development department and a written receipt therefor is provided to the filer.
B. 
Failure to submit all materials and statements required by this title shall constitute grounds for rejection of filing the application.
(Code 1980, § 16.14.050; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.305, 1981)
A. 
All portions of the recognized parcels proposed to be divided shall be included and identified by number on each map required or permitted by the Subdivision Map Act or this title, except in the following cases:
1. 
The present owner of an unrecognized parcel may file a map of that portion of the recognized parcel which he owns and exclude the remainder of the recognized parcel if the present owner was not the subdivider at the time the unrecognized parcel was created; or
2. 
The owner of an unrecognized parcel, who was the subdivider at the time the unrecognized parcel was created, may file a map showing all portions of the previously recognized parcel which is not now a recognized parcel.
B. 
For the purposes of this section, any person who, at the time he or she acquired an unrecognized parcel, had actual or constructive knowledge that the same was an unrecognized parcel shall be deemed a subdivider who created the unrecognized parcel.
(Code 1980, § 16.14.060; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.306, 1981)
A. 
The subdivider may designate as a remainder that portion of the subdivision which is not divided for the purpose of sale, lease or financing.
B. 
For any remainder parcel so designated, the final map or parcel map shall state as a condition of approval that said remainder portion shall not be sold, leased or financed until all improvements which are required have been constructed or the in-lieu fees have been paid, or the subdivider has entered into an agreement with the city providing for the construction of such improvements at the subdivider's expense, within a period of 12 months after the recordation of the map. In the latter case the subdivider shall be required to furnish security in connection with the performance of such agreement as provided in chapter 16.36.
C. 
Notwithstanding subsection B of this section, the city council finds that it is necessary for reasons of public health and safety that all required off-site improvements be constructed within a period of 12 months following the recordation of a parcel map or final map for each parcel or unit of land designated on such map as the remainder upon which there exists a building or other usable structure at the time of such recordation.
