§ 17.02.530. Subdivision.

A.

"Subdivision" means any of the following:

1.

The division, by any subdivider, of any unit or units of improved or unimproved land, or any portion thereof, shown on the latest equalized county assessment roll as a unit or as contiguous units, for the purpose of gift, sale, lease or financing, whether immediate or future, except for leases of land for agricultural purposes. As used in the preceding sentence, "agricultural purposes" means the cultivation of food or fiber, or the grazing or pasturing of livestock;

2.

A condominium project, as defined in Section 1350 of the Civil Code, a community apartment project, or the conversion of five or more existing dwelling units into a stock cooperative;

3.

Any judicially ordered division of real property except property set aside as a probate homestead, and such subdivisions are subject to all the provisions of this title.

B.

Nothing contained in this section shall prevent a purchaser of a unit of land created under the provisions of the Map Act or this title from subdividing the land one or more times, pursuant to the provisions of this title, prior to the time that an equalized county assessment roll has been completed reflecting the creation of the unit proposed to be subdivided. Nor shall anything contained in this chapter prevent the same subdivider of a unit of land created pursuant to this title from making consecutive subdivisions of the same parcel or any portion thereof. Nothing in the preceding two sentences, however, shall be construed as prohibiting the county from considering previous subdivisions of a subdivider in determining whether a tentative parcel map or a tentative subdivision map shall be required prior to accepting an application for a proposed subdivision as complete.
