§ 9-513

The purpose of this Chapter is to provide a method for allowing amendments to recorded maps as provided for in Section 66472.1 of the Government Code and to conditions of approved applications.

(a)

Limitations on Procedure. This procedure shall not be used for amendments to the face of a Tentative Map or a Vesting Tentative Map of an approved Major or Minor Subdivision Application. For such changes, a new Major or Minor Subdivision Application shall be filed.

(b)

Initiation. Applications for Revisions of Approved Actions may be initiated by the property owner or by the property owner's authorized agent. The application shall include such documents and other information required by the Zoning Administrator. A fee, as specified by resolution of the Board of Supervisors, shall be required.

Applications shall be reviewed and acted upon using the procedure specified below.

(a)

Minor Subdivision Applications. For amendments to conditions of a Tentative Parcel Map or a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map of an approved Minor Subdivision Application, the Zoning Administrator shall be the reviewing authority using the notice and hearing procedures for discretionary review in Chapter 9-802, Common Procedures.

(b)

Major Subdivision Applications. For amendments to conditions of a Tentative Map or a Vesting Tentative Map of an approved Major Subdivision Application, the Planning Commission shall be the reviewing authority using the notice and hearing procedures for discretionary review in Chapter 9-802, Common Procedures.

(c)

Other Discretionary Applications. For amendments to conditions of all other approved discretionary applications, the Review Authority for the original application shall be the reviewing authority using the notice and hearing procedures for discretionary review in Chapter 9-802, Common Procedures. Exceptions apply to projects that are normally reviewed by the Planning Commission, but were reviewed by the Board of Supervisors on appeal. In such cases, the Review Authority shall be the Planning Commission.

(d)

Parcel Maps or Final Maps. For amendments to a Parcel Map or a Final Map, the Planning Commission shall be the reviewing authority, using the notice and hearing procedures for discretionary review in Chapter 9-802, Common Procedures. The Commission shall confine its review to consideration of and action on the proposed amendment.

Prior to approving an application for Revisions of Approved Actions, the Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission, or Board of Supervisors, as the case may be, shall make the following findings:

(a)

Major or Minor Subdivisions. For amendments to conditions of a Tentative Map, Tentative Parcel Map, or a Vesting Tentative Map of an approved Major or Minor Subdivision Application:

(1)

There are changes in circumstances that make any or all of the conditions of the Tentative Map, Tentative Parcel Map, or the Vesting Tentative Map no longer appropriate or necessary; and

(2)

The revised conditions of the Tentative Map, Tentative Parcel Map, or the Vesting Tentative Map conform to the provisions of Chapters 9-503 and 9-504.

(b)

Other Discretionary Applications. For amendments to conditions of all other approved discretionary applications, the Review Authority shall find that all the findings required for the discretionary application under consideration shall continue to be true.

(c)

Parcel Maps or Final Maps. For amendments to a Parcel Map or a Final Map, the Planning Commission shall find that all of the following are true:

(1)

There are changes in circumstances that make any or all of the conditions of such map no longer appropriate or necessary;

(2)

The amendments do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property; and

(3)

The amendments do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map.
