(Ord. 9404 § 14 (part), 1967: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 313, 1945.)

Upon submission of a tentative minor land division map, the advisory agency shall transmit copies to each county department which has an interest in the proposed minor land division. (Ord. 10965 § 23, 1974: Ord. 9404 § 14 (part), 1967: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 314, 1945.)

County departments to which a copy of the tentative minor land division map is transmitted shall, within a period of not more than 20 days after receipt by the department, file with the advisory agency a report either approving of the tentative map as submitted, or indicating what changes are necessary to make the tentative map conform to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this Title 21 coming under its jurisdiction. Failure of a county department to file a report on a tentative map before the expiration of the specified review period shall be deemed as approval by the department of the maps as submitted. The advisory agency shall not approve or conditionally approve a tentative minor land division map until the expiration of the 20-day review period or receipt of all departmental reports, whichever comes first. (Ord. 11665 § 64, 1978: Ord. 9404 § 14 (part), 1967: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 315, 1945.)

B. Action on tentative maps of minor land divisions shall be taken within 24 working days of the submission of the map.

(Ord. 11665 § 66, 1978: Ord. 10965 § 24, 1974: Ord. 9404 § 14 (part), 1967: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 317, 1945.)

The advisory agency may require as a condition of approval of a tentative minor land division map that the subdivider produce evidence that the property as divided will have access to a public street or highway. (Ord. 9721 § 17, 1969: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 318.1, 1945.)

The advisory agency may reject a tentative minor land division map if the only practical use which can be made of the division, as proposed, is a use prohibited by any ordinance, statute, law or other valid regulation. (Ord. 10965 § 25, 1974: Ord. 9404 § 14 (part), 1967: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 318, 1945.)

A. The approval of a tentative minor land division map shall be effective for a period of two years.
B. The advisory agency may grant one or more extensions to the terms of approval of a tentative map. Each extension shall be for no more than one year and the sum of said extensions shall not exceed three years. The subdivider shall submit a written request to the advisory agency for such extension before expiration of the map.
C. If the advisory agency denies the subdivider’s application for an extension, the subdivider may appeal to the legislative body within 15 days after the action of the advisory agency.

The following minor land divisions shall be eligible for waiver of the requirement that a parcel map be filed, provided such divisions are located in Zones R-1, R-A, A-1, A-2 or D-2 and a request for waiver, as provided for in this chapter, is approved by the advisory agency:
A. Those in which each resultant parcel has a gross area of 10 acres or more or is a quarter-quarter-quarter section of a governmental plat or larger;
B. Those in which each resultant parcel has a gross area of two and one-quarter acres or more or is a quarter-quarter-quarter-quarter section of a governmental plat or larger, and is not located in sloping terrain, as defined by Section 21.08.160 of this Title 21. (Ord. 10965 § 28, 1974: Ord. 9404 § 14 (part), 1967: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 320, 1945.)

A. The following minor land divisions shall be eligible for waiver of the requirement that a parcel map be filed:
1. Those in which each resultant parcel is a part of one or more lots shown on a final map, parcel map or approved record of survey map, and the area of each resultant parcel is more than 20 percent of the total area of the lot or lots of which it is a part, except where the tentative map of any such division, the conditions of approval thereof or the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act or of this Title 21 provide for or require the delineation of flood or geological hazard, or building restrictions;
2. Property line adjustments, or the distribution of all of an existing parcel(s) between adjacent parcels;
3. Those of a lease-project, except where the tentative map of any such division, the conditions of approval thereof or the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act or of this title provide for or require the delineation of flood or geological hazards, or building restrictions;
4. Those in which each resultant parcel has a gross area of two and one-quarter acres or more or is a quarter-quarter-quarter-quarter section of a government plat or larger, unless the conditions of approval of the tentative map require dedications or offers of dedication to be made by certificate on the final parcel map.
B. For the purpose of this section, the term “approved record of survey maps” refers to record of survey maps which were approved by the board of supervisors and filed for record pursuant to various provisions of the Subdivision Map Act prior to the effective date of Chapter 1180, Statutes 1965. (Ord. 11904 § 14, 1979: Ord. 10965 § 29, 1974: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 320.1, 1945.)

A. Waiver requests shall be made in writing on a standardized form provided by the advisory agency. The request shall include:
1. A request for waiver, signed and acknowledged by all owners of record of the land comprising the minor land division;
2. A description of each proposed parcel;
3. If requested by the advisory agency, a plat map, showing sufficient ties, dimensions and bearings to adequately establish the boundaries of the minor land division and of each proposed parcel. Record information, when available, may be utilized.
B. The advisory agency may require the submission of documentation, i.e., preliminary title report, as it deems necessary to verify the information presented in the request for waiver. All submissions shall be legible and readily reproducible.
C. Before approval of a request for waiver, the subdivider shall complete or guarantee completion of the conditions of approval as if a parcel map were to be filed. (Ord. 10965 § 30, 1974: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 320.2, 1945.)

A. Within 20 days after acceptance of a request for waiver, or within such additional time as may be necessary, the advisory agency shall waive the requirement that a parcel map be filed as provided in Sections 21.48.130 and 21.48.140, if it finds:
1. That the design of each parcel described in the request for waiver is in substantial accordance with the tentative map, as approved;
2. That the proposed minor land division complies with all applicable requirements as to area, improvement and design, flood and water drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental protection, and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and of this Title 21.
B. When a waiver is granted pursuant to this section, the advisory agency shall, within 10 working days, cause a certificate of compliance, describing each approved parcel, to be filed for record with the county recorder. The certificate of compliance shall state that the requirement that a parcel map of the division of land be filed has been waived, and that the parcels comprising the division may be sold, leased, financed or transferred in full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and of this Title 21.
C. The procedures set forth in this section shall be completed within the period prescribed by Section 21.48.120 for filing a parcel map of a minor land division after approval or any extension thereof. (Ord. 10965 § 32, 1974: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 320.4, 1945.)

The approval of a waiver of filing a parcel map for a lease-project shall be effective for a period of five years. After such time, if such lease-project is not established, a new request may be made as provided in Section 21.48.140. (Ord. 10965 § 33, 1974: Ord. 4478 Art. 12 § 320.5, 1945.)
