For the purposes of this section, "lawfully created lots" means all whole parcels described in recorded deeds as of June 25, 1969, provided that the parcels were not divided or created in violation of any County ordinance which existed at the time of the creation or division, and parcels created subsequent to June 25, 1969, pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code § 66410 et seq.). New parcels created by bona fide gift deed will be regarded as "lawfully created lots" for the purposes of this section only if the deed was recorded on or before December 1, 1980.

A lot will be deemed "in existence" as of December 1, 1980, for the purposes of this section if a tentative subdivision map has been approved on or before December 1, 1980, identifying the parcel and a final or parcel map is subsequently filed depicting the same lot.
