Except as set out hereinafter, all parcels of land intended for public use in a division of land shown on the final map or final parcel map thereof shall be offered for dedication for public use. However, with the approval of the approving authority, any road which is intended to be kept physically closed to public travel or posted as a private street at all times may be shown as a private street; but in any such case, the final map or final parcel map shall contain a conditional offer of dedication, or the map may be accompanied by a conditional offer of dedication by separate instrument, either of which may be accepted by the Council. Any such private street shall be shown on such map by heavy dashed lines. Sufficient data shall be shown on each private street to define its boundaries, as is required for a public street, and also sufficient mathematical data to show clearly the portion of each lot within such street. The design and improvement of any such private street shall be subject to all of the requirements prescribed by the code for public streets, except where otherwise approved by the City Engineer and the Director.

If, in the opinion of the approving authority, either sewers or storm drains or both are necessary for the general use of lot owners in the division of land, and such sewers or storm drains or both are not to be installed in the streets of such division, then the subdivider shall show upon the maps and dedicate necessary easements for such sewers or storm drains or both.
