A. Purpose: The purpose of this Chapter is to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare and preserve the aesthetic quality of the City through the regulation and control of the division of land, and to supplement the provisions of the Map Act relating to design, improvement, and survey data of subdivisions, in addition to the form and content of all maps provided for by the Map Act, and the procedures to be followed in securing the official approval of the City regarding the maps. To achieve this purpose, the regulations contained in this Chapter are determined to be necessary to promote orderly growth and development, open space, protection and proper use of land; and to ensure adequate provision for traffic circulation, utilities, and other services in the City.

B. Application: The subdivision regulations shall apply to all or part of any subdivision within the City, and to the preparation of any subdivision map or other map required by the Map Act.
C. Exclusions: This Chapter shall be inapplicable to those exclusions provided in the Map Act, section 66412 of the California Government Code. (Ord. 527, 8-4-1997)
