(A) This chapter shall apply only to residential developments. Whenever a provision of the Subdivision Map Act as implemented and supplemented by this title requires the filing of a tentative map or tentative parcel map for a residential development, a vesting tentative map may be filed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) If a subdivider does not seek the rights conferred by the vesting tentative map statute, the filing of a vested tentative map shall not be a prerequisite to any approval for any proposed subdivision, permit for construction, or work preparatory to construction.
