Under the Planning and Zoning Law, the legislative body of a city or county may adopt ordinances that, among other things, regulate the use of buildings, structures, and land, as provided. The Subdivision Map Act vests the authority to regulate and control the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the local agency’s processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing of tentative, final, and parcel maps.

Existing law requires a local agency to ministerially approve a parcel map for an urban lot split if the development or parcel meets specified requirements.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
