9-512.010 - PURPOSE AND INITIATION

The purpose of this Chapter is to provide a method of reviewing requests to determine the compliance of land with the Subdivision Map Act and this Title. A Certificate of Compliance shall be issued for any "real property which has been approved for development," as defined in Government Code Section 66499.34, upon request by the owner(s) of the real property or vendees of such owner(s) pursuant to a contract of sale of the property.

(a)

Who May Request a Certificate. An Application for a Certificate of Compliance may be made by any person owning real property subject to the provisions of this Title or a vendee of such person pursuant to a contract of sale of such property.

(b)

Information and Fee Required. Applications for Certificates of Compliance shall include a site plan and any other maps or documents required by the Zoning Administrator. A fee, as specified by resolution of the

Board of Supervisors, shall be required.

9-512.020 - REVIEW PROCEDURES

If the application is complete, the Zoning Administrator, in consultation with the County Surveyor, shall review the application for a Certificate of Compliance and make one of the following determinations based on that review:

(a)

Issuance. If the parcel is found to comply with the Subdivision Map Act and this Title, a Certificate of Compliance shall be issued; or

(b)

Conditional Issuance. If the parcel does not comply with regulations in effect at the time of its creation or does not comply with this Title, the parcel shall be found not to comply with the Subdivision Map Act and these Subdivision Regulations, and a Conditional Certificate of Compliance stating the conditions required to bring the parcel into compliance shall be issued, pursuant to Section 66499.35(b) of the Government Code.

(1)

Only conditions that would have been applicable at the time the applicant acquired his or her interest in the property may be imposed.

(2)

Conditions may not exceed the requirements at the time the parcel was created. However, if an applicant was the owner of record at the time of the initial violation of the Subdivision Map Act or of local ordinances enacted pursuant to the Act, conditions may be imposed which are applicable to a current division of property.

(3)

Fulfillment of all conditions shall be required prior to issuance of any permit or grant of approval for development of the property.

9-512.030 - DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTING CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE
