The reversion shall be by final map if the previous subdivision created five (5) or more lots exclusive of any remainder parcel or by parcel map if the previous subdivision created four (4) or less lots exclusive of any remainder parcel, regardless of whether the previous subdivision was by final map or parcel map.

(2) Evidence sufficient to permit the Board of Supervisors or the Zoning Administrator to make all of the findings required by this section;
(3) A tentative map in the form prescribed by the Planning Director which delineates existing dedications which will not be vacated, new dedications which will be required as a condition of reversion, private roads or rights-of-way which are to remain in effect after the reversion, and such other information as the Director may require; and
(4) Such other of the documents listed in Section 8-1.306 as may be required by the Director.
(d) A reversion to acreage map shall be processed in the same manner set forth in Article 3 of this chapter; provided, however, the Commission shall hold a public hearing as set forth in the Subdivision Map Act (commencing with Section 66499.11 et seq.). After the Commission has acted on the reversion to acreage map, it shall be processed in the same manner set forth for final maps in this article.
(e) A decision made by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the Board of Supervisors by any interested person within ten (10) calendar days. The decision of the Board of Supervisors on appeal shall be final and conclusive.
