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)
