Requirements for the construction of offsite and onsite improvements shall be noticed by a statement on the parcel map, on the instrument evidencing the waiver of the parcel map, or by a separate instrument and shall be recorded on, concurrently with, or prior to to, the parcel map or instrument of waiver of a parcel map being filed for record.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 66428, whenever a local ordinance requires improvements for a division of eligible land that is a subdivision of 10 or fewer lots, the regulations shall be limited to the dedication of rights-of-way, easements, and the construction of reasonable offsite and onsite improvements for the parcels being created. Requirements for the construction of offsite and onsite improvements shall be noticed by a statement on the parcel map, on the instrument evidencing the waiver of the parcel map, or by a separate instrument and shall be recorded on, concurrently with, or prior to, the parcel map or instrument of waiver of a parcel map being filed for record. For purposes of this subdivision, “eligible land” means land that meets both of the following:
