D. In a mobilehome land division, the owners of the units of space which are occupied by mobilehomes and which may also be occupied by accessory uses will hold an undivided interest in the common areas which will in turn provide the necessary access and utility easements for the units. A note to this effect shall be on the final map or parcel map.

B. Where a subdivider proposes to connect to an existing dead-end or cul-de-sac street in which a turnaround has been installed, the Planning Commission may require the reconstruction of existing street improvements as a condition of such connection. If the subdivider makes or agrees to make the required improvements, all of the provisions of this Title 16 which apply to improvements and agreements to improve within a division of land shall apply.

Developments shall incorporate and be designed to encourage access by public transit and nonmotorized modes of travel (e.g., bicycle, pedestrian).
