It is declared that any land that is divided in any method or manner whatsoever shall be accomplished by either a subdivision map or parcel map, which must first be approved by the advisory agent as defined hereinafter in Section 16.16.010, and the council. Such maps shall meet all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this title.
(Prior code § 9502.010)
A parcel map shall be filed and recorded for any subdivision for which a tentative and final map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act, except for subdivisions 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 Section 230 of the Public Utilities Code; provided, however, that upon a showing made to the city council based upon substantial evidence that the public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply.
(Prior code § 9502.020)
