The land use designations and zoning approved by the Commission with suggested modifications in its action on Humboldt County LCPA HUM-MAJ-01-08 shall not become effective unless and until the entirety of the legal parcel(s) containing APN 401-031-36, APN 401-031-38, APN 401-031-46, APN 401-031-55, APN 401-031-059, APN 401-031-65, and APN 401-031-44, generally depicted on Exhibit 25A and described as the Samoa Town Master Plan Land Use Plan (“STMP-LUP”) Overlay Area, excluding APN 401-031-67 which contains the Samoa Processing Center (recycling facility) (Master Parcel 1), are merged and re-subdivided by parcel map into two (2) master parcels generally depicted on Exhibit 25A. The two (2) resulting parcels shall comprise (1) Master Parcel 2: the combined Public Facilities (PF) area for wastewater treatment and disposal, the Vance Avenue right of way, and the Residential Medium Density (RM) area; and (2) Master Parcel 3: all other STMP lands excluding Master Parcel 1 containing the Samoa Processing Center. If all such property is not merged and re-subdivided by parcel map into Master Parcels 2 and 3 generally depicted on Exhibit 25A, the entirety of the area generally depicted on Exhibit 25A and described as the Samoa Town Master Plan Land Use Plan (“STMP-LUP”) Overlay Area will remain designated as General Industrial, Coastal Dependent Industrial and Natural Resources. If all such property is merged and resubdivided by parcel map into Master Parcels 2 and 3 generally depicted on Exhibit 25A, the land use designations and zoning approved by the Commission with suggested modifications in its action on Humboldt County LCPA HUM-MAJ-01-08 shall become effective upon both: (a) issuance of the coastal development permit for the merger and re-subdivision by parcel map consistent with the certified LCP and (b) recordation of a parcel map consistent with the coastal development permit. Recordation of a parcel map is required and shall not be waived. If a legal lot containing any APN generally depicted on Exhibit 25A straddles the STMP-LUP boundaries generally depicted on Exhibit 25A, the portion of the legal lot containing the APN outside the STMP Overlay Area boundary shall be included within the merger and re-subdivision by parcel map and become part of the immediately adjacent master parcel generally depicted on Exhibit 25A. If the land use designations and zoning approved by the Commission with suggested modification in its action on Humboldt County LCPA HUM-MAJ-01-08 become effective, the Principal Permitted Use of any area subject to the STMP-LUP shall be determined in accordance with the designated Land Uses and in the patterns and locations generally shown on the certified STMP Land Use Map. No minimum or maximum number of lots shall be determined or authorized until or unless a coastal development permit for the comprehensive division of Master Parcel 3 has been approved and issued consistent with all applicable provisions of the certified LCP, including the STMP-LUP.
