Nothing in Sections 66478.1 to 66478.10, inclusive, of this article shall require a local agency to disapprove either a tentative or final map solely on the basis that the reasonable public access otherwise required by this article is not provided through or across the subdivision itself, if the local agency makes a finding that the reasonable public access is otherwise available within a reasonable distance from the subdivision and identifies the location of the reasonable public access.
The finding shall be set forth on the face of the tentative or final map.
(Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 1109, Sec. 5. Effective January 1, 2003.)
