D. Dedication shall not be required when the building permit is for any of the following construction:

1. One single-family dwelling with customary accessory buildings when erected on a vacant lot.

2. Additions and accessory buildings incidental to a residential building legally existing on the lot, provided no additional dwelling units or guest rooms are created.

(Prior code §§ 7210.1—7210.4; Ord. No. 3023, § 4.C(Exh. C), 5-2-2023)

Any person required to dedicate land by the provisions of this chapter shall make an irrevocable offer to dedicate such land for public street purposes in the form approved by the City Attorney properly executed by all parties of interest including beneficiaries and trustees in deeds of trust as shown by a current preliminary title report prepared by a title company and furnished at applicant's expense. Such offer shall, by its terms, be binding on the owner, his or her heirs, assigns or successors in interest, and shall continue in effect until such offer is rejected by the City Council. The offer shall be accompanied by tender of a grant deed to the city for street purposes which deed may be accepted at any time by the city. For purposes of this chapter, dedication shall be considered as satisfactorily assured when the offer to dedicate in the form approved by the City Attorney and accompanied by tender of grant deed as required by this section, has been accepted for recordation by the Director of Public Works. After such time the building permit applied for may be issued in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

(Prior code § 7210.5)

No building or structure shall be erected or moved onto any area required to be dedicated by this chapter, nor within any required front yard or required streetside sideyard measured from the front property line or streetside property sideline which would result from the dedication of property in accordance with this chapter.
