For statutory provisions on parcel maps, see Gov. Code § 6643 et seq.
A parcel map shall be filed and recorded for any division of land for which a tentative and final map is not required by the Subdivision Map Act, except if such division of land falls under one of the exceptions listed in Section 16.20.020. Such maps shall meet all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this chapter and shall show all dedications or offers of dedication thereon. The city council may require that such dedications or offers of dedication be made by deed in lieu of or in addition to appearing on the map. A parcel map may be required of divisions of land which are listed in the exceptions of Section 16.20.020 if a showing is made to the city council, upon substantial evidence, that public policy necessitates such a parcel map.
(Ord. 80-1 Art. V § 5.01, 1980; Ord. 93-13 § 8, 1993)
Parcel maps will not be required for divisions of land described in this section unless the city council decides that public policy necessitates such a parcel map. The excepted land divisions are as follows:
A. 
Except as specified in Section 66411 of the Subdivision Map Act, an exception for short-term leases of portions of the operating right-of-way of a railroad corporation as defined in Section 230 of the Public Utilities Code; provided, however, that upon a showing made to the city council based upon substantial evidence, that public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply;
B. 
Except as specified in Section 66412.5 of the Subdivision Map Act and the exception for subdivisions of four parcels or less for construction of removable commercial buildings having a floor area of less than one hundred square feet;
C. 
Except when a certificate of compliance has been issued by the city engineer and filed for recordation with the county recorder. Certificates of compliance or conditional certificates of compliance may be granted by the city council in accordance with Section 66499.35 of the Subdivision Map Act. Fees for the cost of issuing and recording a certificate of compliance shall be established by resolution of the city council.
(Ord. 80-1 Art. V § 5.02, 1980; Ord. 93-13 § 9, 1993)
Except in accordance with Section 66428 of the Subdivision Map Act, and after the completion of the filing of a tentative parcel map and upon written request of the subdivider, the city council may waive the requirement of a final parcel map after making a finding that the division of land is in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act; the division of land is in conformance with the general plan for the city; the division of land is in conformance with the zoning ordinance of the city; the division of land is in conformance with the Kerman subdivision ordinance as codified in this title and that no public improvements shall be required or dedication of easements or right-of-ways and that the division of land complies with the improvement and design, flood water drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental protection and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act or the city subdivision ordinance as codified in this title.
