(1) The parcel resulted from a division of the land in which fewer than five parcels were created; and
(2) No record of survey has been processed and recorded for the parcel; and
(3) At the time of creation of parcels, there was no local ordinance regulating the division of land.
(B) A certificate of compliance shall be issued for any real property that has been approved for development pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code § 66499.34.
(C) A certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance shall be issued for any parcel
which does not, or at the time of creation did not, comply with the provision of state or local ordinances regulating the division of land. A conditional certificate of compliance may include the following conditions:
(1) If the subdivider was not the owner of record at the time of the initial land division, the conditional certificate of compliance may impose conditions which would have been applicable to a division of land on the date the subdivider acquired the property.
(2) If the subdivider was the owner of record at the time of the initial land division and currently owns one or more of the parcels involved in the land division, the conditional certificate of compliance may impose conditions which would be applicable to a current division of land.
(D) A certificate of compliance may be issued for divisions of real property or interests therein created by probate, partition, or other civil judgments or decrees, when the division is not otherwise required to comply with other provisions of this title.
