If a project will create four or fewer new lots or parcels, or is a commercial or industrial development, it will be processed as a parcel map.

All public improvements exist or have been bonded for completion.
A final plot plan must be submitted to the City Public Works Department. After the final plot plan is approved by the Public Works Department and all conditions of approval have been satisfied or bonded, a Certificate of Compliance will be issued by the Department of Planning and Building and recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder. Final Parcel Maps are filed with the Director of Public Works Department and checked by the County Engineer. After all conditions of approval have been satisfied or bonded, the Director of Public Works will certify the map then the map recorder.
