Other provisions of this title notwithstanding, a panhandle-shaped or flag-shaped lot, if permitted by Title 21, shall have a minimum frontage of 20 feet on a dedicated public street or publicly dedicated easement accepted by the city. Panhandles may not serve as access to any lot except the lot of which the panhandle is a part.

(Ord. 9417 § 2, 1975; Ord. 9467 § 8, 1976)
No parcel map filed pursuant to Chapter 20.32 of this title shall be approved by the City Engineer unless and until the following conditions have been satisfied:
A. 
There shall be offered for dedication, pursuant to Section 20.28.050 of this title, right-of-way for streets in accordance with the circulation element of the general plan, any applicable master plans, specific plans or other officially adopted street plans and the city standards within and adjacent to the boundaries of the land to be subdivided.
B. 
Streets which are proposed on the boundaries of a subdivision shall be offered for dedication to a width of no less than 42 feet. In the event that the offer of dedication for the streets is to be accepted prior to final approval of the parcel map, a strip of land one foot wide extending along the outer edge of the land offered for dedication may be required to be offered to the city for street purposes and over which access rights are relinquished.
C. 
Offers of dedication for streets which will be accepted before final approval of the parcel map and which streets are proposed to be terminated at the boundary of the minor subdivision may be required to include a strip of land one foot wide extending across the street at its point of termination at the boundary which shall be portions of the adjacent lots, offered for street purposes and over which access rights are relinquished.
D. 
Whenever any land to be subdivided is bounded by an inlet, bay, estuary, lagoon, river, stream or by the Pacific Ocean, there shall be a street along such inlet, bay, estuary, lagoon, river, stream or ocean front, or adequate public access to and along such boundary shall be provided or be made otherwise available in lieu of such street or any combination as the City Engineer may require to insure compliance with Chapter 4, Article 3.5 of the Subdivision Map Act.
E. 
Easements for public utilities and drainage-ways shall be offered for dedication in the manner prescribed by Section 20.28.050 of this title as required by the City Engineer when he or she determines that such offers of dedication are necessary to serve the subdivision and/or are a reasonable and logical extension of such facilities as exist in the vicinity.
(Ord. 9417 § 2, 1975)
The City Engineer may impose a requirement that any dedication or offer of dedication of a street shall include a waiver of direct access rights to such street from any property shown on a parcel map as abutting thereon, and that if the dedication is accepted, such waiver shall become effective in accordance with the provisions of the waiver of direct access.
(Ord. 9417 § 2, 1975)
Pursuant to Section 66447 of the Subdivision Map Act, all dedications or offers of dedication required by the provisions of this chapter shall be by separate instrument and shall be completed prior to filing of the parcel map or by certificate on the parcel map as the City Engineer may elect. An offer of dedication shall be in such terms as to be binding on the owner, his or her heirs, assigns or successors in interest, and except as provided in subsection B of Section 66477.2 of the Subdivision Map Act, shall continue until such dedication is accepted or the offer is abandoned or otherwise terminated. Any such dedication or offer of dedication shall be free of any burden or encumbrance which would interfere with the purposes of which the dedication or offer of dedication is required. The subdivider shall provide a current preliminary title report or equivalent proof of title satisfactory to the City Engineer. The City Engineer is authorized to accept dedications or offers of dedication or to reject such offers on behalf of the city.

A. 
As a condition precedent to the approval of a parcel map for a minor subdivision, the subdivider shall construct all off-site and onsite improvements in accordance with the requirements applicable to major subdivisions as set forth in Section 20.16.040 of this title for the parcels being created; provided, however, that requirements for the construction of such off-site and onsite improvements shall be noticed by certificate on the parcel map, in the instrument evidencing the waiver of such parcel map, or by separate instrument and shall be recorded on, concurrently with, or prior to the parcel map or instrument of waiver of a parcel map being filed for record.

Fulfillment of such construction requirements shall not be required until at or after such time as a building or grading permit is issued by the city or at such time as may be provided by an agreement between the subdivider and the city pursuant to Section 20.28.070, except that in the absence of such agreement the City Engineer may require fulfillment of some or all of such construction requirements within a reasonable time following approval of the parcel map and prior to the issuance of a building or grading permit for the development of a parcel upon a finding that fulfillment of such construction requirements is necessary for reasons of public health and safety or that the construction is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.
(Ord. 9417 § 2, 1975; Ord. 9521 § 19, 1979)
Unless the subdivider elects, with the consent of the City Engineer, to construct the improvements required by Section 20.28.060 prior to approval of the parcel map, the subdivider shall execute an agreement to construct such improvements or to otherwise comply with the requirements of this title and with the conditions of approval for the tentative parcel map for the subdivision prior to approval of the parcel map. If the subdivider consents, the agreement may provide for the construction of such improvements prior to issuance by the city of a building or grading permit for a parcel within the subdivision. The subdivider shall provide improvement security in accord with Sections 20.16.070, 20.16.080, 20.16.090 and 20.16.100 of this title. In addition, the subdivider shall prepare and deposit with the City Clerk detailed plans and specifications of the improvements to be constructed, and such plans and specifications shall be made a part of any such agreement and of the improvement security. The City Manager is authorized to execute such agreements on behalf of the city.

In lieu of constructing or agreeing under Section 20.28.070 to construct any required improvements, the City Engineer may require the subdivider to enter into an agreement with the city to construct the improvements in the future, and require the subdivider to grant the city a lien on the property to be divided securing such future improvements. The lien granted under authority herein may be used to secure future improvements in easements, rights-of-way or irrevocable offers of dedication or any other improvements or conditions of the map. The City Manager is authorized to sign such agreements on behalf of the city.
(Ord. 9417 § 2, 1975)
Whenever a subdivider is required as a condition of a tentative parcel map to construct or install off-site improvements on property which neither the subdivider nor the city owns, then not later than 60 days prior to filing the parcel map for approval the subdivider shall provide the city with sufficient information, reports and data, including, but not limited to, an appraisal and title report, to enable the city to commence proceedings pursuant to Title 7 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure to acquire an interest in the land which will permit the improvements to be made, including proceedings for immediate possession of the property pursuant to Article 3 of said title. The subdivider shall agree pursuant to Section 20.28.070 to complete the improvements at such time as the city has a sufficient interest in the property to permit the construction of the improvements. The subdivider shall bear all costs associated with the acquisition of the property interests and the estimated cost thereof shall be secured as provided in Section 20.28.070.
(Ord. 9680 § 6, 1983)
Every parcel map shall show monuments which shall be set by a licensed surveyor or engineer in accordance with Section 20.16.050 of this title provided that two-inch iron pipes at least 24 inches long for exterior boundary monumentation are not required unless the City Engineer determines that the exterior boundary cannot be adequately monumented by monuments of a lesser standard, and further provided that monumentation of the exterior boundary of a remainder parcel need not be placed or shown on the parcel map. The monuments shall be set prior to the approval of the map unless the setting thereof is deferred by the City Engineer in accordance with Section 66496 of the State Government Code. The City Engineer is authorized to accept monumentation agreements and securities for parcel maps on behalf of the city.
