66427
. (a) A map of a condominium project, a community apartment
project, or of the conversion of five or more existing dwelling units
to a stock cooperative project need not show the buildings or the
manner in which the buildings or the airspace above the property
shown on the map are to be divided, nor shall the governing body have
the right to refuse approval of a parcel, tentative, or final map of
the project on account of the design or the location of buildings on
the property shown on the map that are not violative of local
ordinances or on account of the manner in which airspace is to be
divided in conveying the condominium.
(b) A map need not include a condominium plan or plans, as defined
in Section 4120 or 6540 of the Civil Code, and the governing body
may not refuse approval of a parcel, tentative, or final map of the

(c) Fees and lot design requirements shall be computed and imposed
with respect to those maps on the basis of parcels or lots of the
surface of the land shown thereon as included in the project.
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the power of the
legislative body to regulate the design or location of buildings in a
project by or pursuant to local ordinances.
(e) If the governing body has approved a parcel map or final map
for the establishment of condominiums on property pursuant to the
requirements of this division, the separation of a three-dimensional
portion or portions of the property from the remainder of the
property or the division of that three-dimensional portion or
portions into condominiums shall not constitute a further subdivision
as defined in Section 66424, provided each of the following
conditions has been satisfied:
(1) The total number of condominiums established is not increased
above the number authorized by the local agency in approving the
parcel map or final map.

the property is held by the condominium owners in undivided interests
in common, or by an association as defined in Section 4100 or 6528
of the Civil Code, and the duration of the estate in the remainder of
the property is the same as the duration of the estate in the
condominiums.

described on a condominium plan or plans, as defined in Section 4120
