Definition of subdivision and resubdivision discussed. 146 C. 570. Cited. 149 C. 630. There is no authority for commission to adopt as a regulation definition of “subdivision” which modifies, restricts or enlarges upon statutory definition. 151 C. 450.

Appropriate inquiry under section is whether one lot has been divided into 3 or more units, not whether topography of lot is maintained or the degree of lot line adjustment. 330 C. 502. Cited. 5 CA 509; 8 CA 556; 18 CA 159; 20 CA 462; 23 CA 75; 29 CA 28. A map is not a resubdivision unless it alters a “subdivision”. 173 CA 256. The mere changing of lot lines or adding additional land to lots, no matter how sizeable, does not constitute a “subdivision”; Legislature intended the word “parts” to refer to separate but whole, not fractional, members of a tract of land, thus, when the word “parts” is read in light of its commonly approved usage and together with the definition of “resubdivision” under this section, its meaning is plain and unambiguous, and is to be read together with the word “lots” so as to clarify the latter's meaning. 199 CA 115. Cited. 43 CS 508.
