Part 5 — Certificate of Compliance

When approval has been given to an application for waiver of the requirement of a parcel map, then concurrently therewith the Director of Community Development shall issue a Certificate of Compliance. The Director shall then cause the Certificate of Compliance to be filed for record with the Los Angeles County Recorder. The Certificate of Compliance shall be in a form acceptable to the Director of Community Development.

The Director of Community Development is delegated the authority for the issuance of Certificates of Compliance pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Chapter.

Any person owning real property may request the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, stating that such real property (or any division thereof) complies with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and of local ordinances enacted pursuant thereto. Such request shall be filed with the Director of Community Development, upon such forms and accompanied by such information as may be prescribed by the Director.

Within thirty (30) days after filing of a request by a property owner for the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, unless such time is extended by agreement with the property owner, the Director of Community Development shall determine whether or not such real property or the division thereof complies with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and of local ordinances enacted pursuant thereto, applicable to the property at the time of the division thereof.

If the Director of Community Development determines that such real property does not comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or of local ordinances enacted pursuant thereto, applicable to the property at the time of the division, the Director may, as a condition of granting a Certificate of Compliance, impose any of the conditions permitted under Section 66499.34 of the Subdivision Map Act and issue a Conditional Certificate of Compliance in lieu of the Certificate of Compliance. The Conditional Certificate of Compliance shall be substantially in a form acceptable to the Director of Community Development. Such conditions may be fulfilled and implemented by the property owner who has applied for a Certificate of Compliance or by a grantee of such property owner. If such

conditions are not fulfilled and implemented by the applicant, property owner or the grantee, the Conditional Certificate of Compliance shall have no force or effect upon any subsequent transfer of the property and any subsequent transferee or assignee shall make a new application for a Certificate of Compliance pursuant to this Chapter. The Director of Community Development may impose such conditions as would have been applicable at the time such assignee or transferee acquired the property. Where a Certificate of Compliance is granted subject to conditions, the applicant may request the recordation of a Conditional Certificate of Compliance in which case a final Certificate of Compliance shall be recorded when all conditions have been fulfilled and implemented as determined by the Director.

Upon request of the owner of the property, a Certificate of Compliance may be issued and filed for record for any real property which has been approved for development pursuant to Section 66499.34 of the Subdivision Map Act and this Chapter.

A recorded final tract map or parcel map shall constitute a Certificate of Compliance with respect to the parcels of real property described therein except that if certain conditions required by the City Council or the Advisory Agency at the time of the division of land have not been met, then the Director of Public Works may require that those conditions be noted on the face of the tract or parcel map or a note referencing the conditions imposed by the City Council or Advisory Agency will be placed on the maps.

When there has been compliance with the conditions noted on the parcel map or tract map, the owner of the property may request that a Certificate of Compliance be issued and filed for record. To cover the cost of issuing and recording the Certificate of Compliance, a fee established by resolution shall be imposed.
