8112-5 - Waiting lists for residential permits.

Two waiting lists (designated "Waiting List A" and "Waiting List B") for Residential Permits shall be established for the Ojai Valley.

The record owner of a Developable Lot located within the unincorporated portion of the Ojai Valley may cause such lot to be listed on Waiting List A by submitting to the Planning Director a completed application for such listing in the form approved by the Planning Director together with a payment of the processing fee established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. No such application shall be accepted if any record owner, in whole or in part, of such lot is also the record owner, in whole or in part, of any other lot listed on Waiting List A which other lot was placed on such list in the same calendar year in which the application in question was submitted. Each accepted application shall be marked with the time and date of its acceptance by the Planning Director. The lot to which an accepted application relates shall then be listed on Waiting List A in the chronological order of such acceptance.

The record owner of two or more Developable Lots located within the unincorporated portion of the Ojai Valley may cause such lots to be listed on Waiting List B, or cause space to be reserved for later listing of such lots on Waiting List B, by submitting a completed application for such listing or reservation in the form approved by the Planning Director together with the payment of the processing fee established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. No such application shall be accepted if any record owner, in whole or in part, of such lots would, after such lots had been listed or spaces therefor been reserved, be the record owner, in whole or in part, of more than the permitted maximum number of listed lots and reserved spaces in the aggregate on Waiting List B which had been placed on such list in the same calendar year. For the purpose of this Article, the record owner of lots for which spaces have been reserved on Waiting List B shall be deemed to be the record owner

of such reserved spaces. Further, no such application shall be accepted if, after such lots had been listed or spaces therefor had been reserved, the total number of lots from a single subdivision listed on Waiting List B plus the total number of spaces reserved on Waiting List B for lots from that same subdivision would be more than the permitted maximum number. Lots are "from a single subdivision" if they are depicted on a single approved tentative map and were created by one or more final or parcel maps recorded in compliance with such tentative map. The "permitted maximum number" of listed lots and spaces that can be owned by a record owner or be from a single subdivision is ten (10), unless all of such lots and spaces have received a density bonus and a Planned Development Permit for an affordable or senior housing development pursuant to Article 16.

(Ord. No. 4455, § 6, 10-22-2013)

If the application is for the immediate listing of specific lots, the following procedures shall apply. Each accepted application shall be marked with the time and date of its acceptance by the Planning Director. The lots to which an accepted application relate shall be listed on Waiting List B in the chronological order of such acceptance.

If the application is for the reservation of one or more spaces on the waiting list, the following procedures shall apply. Each application shall identify the specific lots which could potentially be listed in such space or spaces. For example, the record owner of ten lots could reserve space on the waiting list for five lots. The application would identify each of the ten lots which could potentially be listed in such five spaces, but would not have to specify which five out of the ten would ultimately be listed. Each accepted application shall be marked with the time and date of its acceptance by the Planning Director. The number of spaces to which an accepted application relates shall be reserved on Waiting List B in the chronological order of such acceptance. Such owner may submit multiple applications pertaining to the same group of potentially listed lots provided that the number of spaces reserved for such group of lots in the aggregate does not exceed the total number of such lots which are not yet specifically listed but are still owned as a matter of record by such owner. For example, the record owner of ten lots identified for potential listing for which five spaces had been reserved could later reserve a maximum of five additional spaces farther down the list pertaining to the same ten lots. The person designated on the application for such purposes or such person's designee shall have the authority to specify which particular lot identified in the application for potential listing will actually be listed in each space reserved therefor regardless of whether ownership of the lots has changed. Such specification shall be made by submitting to the Planning Director a completed form satisfactory to the Planning Director. Such form must be submitted prior to submission of an application for a building permit respecting such reserved space. The lot so specified shall then be listed on Waiting List B in the space to which it has been assigned.

A lot may simultaneously appear on both Waiting List A and Waiting List B, provided that it meets all other requirements for listing. No specific lot may appear more than once on either one of the lists at any given time. A lot that has been stricken from a waiting list pursuant to this Article may be listed again, provided that it meets all of the requirements for listing at such time.

8112-5.4 - Relisting in event of water moratorium.

If a lot or reserved space is stricken from a waiting list pursuant to Section 8112-6 because of the owner's failure to submit an acceptable application for a building permit but, within the time period specified in that section for submitting such an application, the current record owner of the lot or reserved space has shown to the satisfaction of the Building Official that such failure was due to a temporary moratorium on connections to the applicable domestic water supply system, then the lot or reserved space shall be automatically restored to its relative position on the waiting list on the January 1 next following the date on which it was stricken from that list.

(Add Ord. 3994—3/3/92)

If the owner of a lot or reserved space for which a Residential Permit has been issued pursuant to Section 8112-6 submits to the Planning Director, within 90 calendar days following the issuance of the Residential Permit, a request that the lot or reserved space be stricken from the waiting list immediately and restored to the waiting list in the following year, then the lot or reserved space shall be stricken from the waiting list immediately and be automatically restored to its relative position on the waiting list on the January 1 next following, by at least 90 calendar days, the date on which it was stricken. The Residential Permit shall expire when the lot or reserved space to which it pertains is stricken from the waiting list. A given lot or reserved space may be stricken from and then restored to the waiting list pursuant to this Section only once, except as otherwise provided below. A given lot or reserved space may be stricken from and then restored to the waiting list pursuant to this Section any number of times if, at the time the request is submitted to the Planning Director, the owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that all of the following are true:

a.

The proposed domestic water supply to the lot or reserved space is to be provided by a public water system as defined in Section 4010.1 of the Health and Safety Code;

b.

A binding agreement has been entered into between the owner and the water supplier, enforceable by the owner and the owner's successors in interest to the lot or reserved space, providing, on terms substantially the same as those given the water supplier's customers generally, for the connection to the water supplier's system of the lot or reserved space; and

c.

The agreement was in effect on March 3, 1992, and is still in effect.
