In accordance with Article 1 of Chapter 2 of the Subdivision Map Act, a final map shall be required for all subdivisions creating five or more parcels, five or more condominiums, or a community apartment project containing five or more parcels except under those circumstances listed in Section 66426 of the Subdivision Map Act.

For parcel maps, in lieu of a completed survey of the subdivision, the map may be compiled from recorded or filed data when sufficient survey information exists on filed maps to locate and retrace the exterior boundary lines of the parcel map if the location of at least one of these boundary lines can be established from an existing monumented line.

(Ord. 3790 §1, 1975; Ord. 5380, 2005)
A. 
The City Council shall, within a period of 10 days after its receipt of the final or parcel map for approval or at its next regular meeting after the meeting at which it receives the map, whichever is later, approve the map if it conforms to all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the municipal code applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any rulings made thereunder or, if it does not so conform, disapprove the map.

A. 
An agreement with the City upon mutually agreeable terms to thereafter complete such improvements at the subdivider's expense.
B. 
An agreement with the City to thereafter (1) initiate and consummate proceedings under an appropriate special assessment act for the financing and completion of all such improvements, or (2) if not completed under such special assessment act, to complete such improvements at the subdivider's expense.
Performance of such agreements described herein shall be guaranteed by a security specified in Chapter 5 of the Subdivision Map Act and Section 27.11.030 of this title.
(Ord. 3790 §1, 1975)
