Del Rey Oaks Municipal Code Ch. 16.16 Reversion to Acreage

For the purpose of reversion of subdivided land to acreage, provided that no lots have been sold, no streets improved and where it is not the intent to replot the area, the following procedure shall be followed:

A. Three copies of record map of area proposed for reversion to acreage shall be filed with the planning commission ten days prior to meeting of said planning commission. Each copy of the map shall be accompanied by evidence of title and non-use or lack of necessity of streets or easement which are to be vacated or abandoned. Any streets or easements to be left in effect after the reversion shall be adequately delineated on the map.

B. Action on Map. The planning commission shall determine whether it is in the best interests of the area to approve such action, and within 30 days after filing shall approve or disapprove the action and forward its recommendations to the city council along with evidence of title and non-use of streets and easements.

C. Action by the City Council. At its first regular meeting following receipt of the recommendation of the planning commission, the council shall set a public hearing and give notice as required by law. After said public hearing, the council shall consider such request for reversion of subdivided land to acreage and if said council deems it to be in the best interest of the area, it may approve such request. The clerk of the council shall certify any map approved by the council by signing the certificate provided for on the map.

D. Any map filed for the purpose of reversion of subdivided land to acreage shall be conspicuously designed with the title, "The Purpose of This Map is a Reversion of Acreage."

E. Within 15 days after approval of the city council, said map shall be recorded in the county recorder's office.
