Mapping

The Subdivision Map Act of the State of California governs the subdivision of land for the purpose of sale, leasing, or financing. Under this law and the city’s Subdivision Ordinance, the city ensures that public objectives are met during the subdivision process.

Tentative maps

The City’s Planning Division is responsible for processing and administering tentative map applications and approvals.

Subdivision maps

• Final maps are required for major subdivisions that create five or more lots or condominium units.
• Parcel maps are required for minor subdivisions that create four or fewer  parcels or condominium units.
