§ 9-515

The intent of this Chapter is to provide for notice of violations of provisions of this Series.

Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, whenever the Zoning Administrator finds that any real property has been divided, or any boundary line of any parcel relocated, in violation of this Series, he or she shall cause to be mailed, by certified mail to the then current owner of record of the property, a notice of intent to record a Notice of Violation. This tentative Notice of Violation shall contain the following:

(a)

Property Description. A description of the real property;

(b)

Record Owner. The name(s) and address(es) of the owner(s) of record;

(c)

Violations. A description of the violation(s) alleged;

(d)

Explanation. An explanation as to why the subject parcel is not lawful under the relevant provisions of this Series and the Subdivision Map Act; and

(e)

Notice of Meeting. A time, date, and place where the Zoning Administrator will conduct a meeting to consider said violation(s) of this Series.

Within 15 mailing days of receipt of the tentative Notice of Violation described in Section 9-515.020, the property owner of record shall inform the Zoning Administrator in writing of their objection to the recordation of a Notice of Violation and may request a meeting to present evidence as to why a Notice of Violation should not be recorded. Failure to so inform the Zoning Administrator within the 15 mailing days shall result in a Notice of Violation being recorded with the County Recorder pursuant to Section 9-515.050.

A meeting, as required pursuant to Section 9-515.020, shall be conducted no less than 30 days and no more than 60 days after the mailing of the tentative Notice of Violation. At the meeting, the owners of the property shall be given the opportunity to present to the Zoning Administrator any evidence relevant to show why a Notice of Violation should not be recorded.

After the owner has had the opportunity to present evidence at the meeting, the Zoning Administrator shall take either of the following actions:

(a)

Clearance Letter. Determine that there has been no violation and mail a clearance letter to the then current owner of record; or

(b)

Notice of Violation. Determine that the property has in fact been illegally divided and record a Notice of Violation with the County Recorder.
