§ 17.44

Certificates of compliance provide a means for conferring legal status to parcels of land which were not created by legal means and shall be issued in accordance with California Government Code Section 66499.35 and this Chapter.

(Ord. No. 253, § 3(Exh. 1), 10-12-2010)

This Chapter applies to parcels of land for which there is no final tract map, parcel map, official map, or approved certificate of exception which establish legal status for the parcels.

(Ord. No. 253, § 3(Exh. 1), 10-12-2010)

Requests for certificates of compliance shall be filed with the City Engineer on an approved City application form and shall be accompanied by all required application materials.

(Ord. No. 253, § 3(Exh. 1), 10-12-2010)

The City shall review the application and shall review a certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance. The determination shall be based on the following criteria:

A.

A certificate of compliance shall be issued for any parcel which meets the following criteria:

1.

The parcels resulted from a division of the land in which fewer than five parcels were created; and

2.

At the time of creation of parcels, there was no local ordinance regulating the division of land.

A conditional certificate of compliance shall be issued for any parcel which does not, or at the time of creation did not, comply with the provision of State or local ordinances regulating the division of land. A conditional certificate of compliance may include the conditions as follows:

1.

If the subdivider was not the owner of record at the time of the initial land division, the conditional certificate of compliance may impose conditions which would have been applicable to a division of land on the date the subdivider acquired the property.

2.

If the subdivider was the owner of record at the time of the initial land division and currently owns one or more of the parcels involved in the land division, the conditional certificate of compliance may impose conditions which would be applicable to a current division of land.
