All subdivisions have planning and zoning implications and, accordingly at the beginning stage, you must obtain approval from the City Planning Department before you can record a Final Map. All Final Maps in this category are reviewed and approved by the City, and must be technically ready for recording at the time being submitted to Los Angeles County Public Works.
