Each parcel created by the division has a gross area of 20 acres or more and has an approved access to a maintained public street or highway; or

(3)

The land consists of a parcel or parcels of land having approved access to a public street or highway which comprises part of a tract of land zoned for industrial or commercial development, and which has the approval of the governing body as to street alignments and widths; or

(c)

Waiver of Recording of Parcel Map. The requirement of a parcel map may be waived by the approving authority whenever a parcel map is imposed by this Chapter or the Subdivision Map Act, including the requirement for a parcel map imposed by Government Code section 66426.

If the parcel map has been waived, the subdivision shall be recorded as a certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance.

(d)

Exclusions. This Chapter shall be inapplicable to the same matters that are set forth in Government Code 66412, which creates exceptions to the Subdivision Map Act.
