Article 14-15

MAPS REQUIRED

Sections:

14-15.010 Maps required for subdivision of land; acts prohibited. 14-15.020 Reserved. 14-15.030 Building and grading permits. 14-15.040 Certificates of occupancy.

(a) Tentative and final map or parcel map approval pursuant to this Chapter shall be required for any subdivision of land within the City.

(b) No person shall sell, lease, finance, or transfer any parcel or parcels of land constituting a subdivision for which a final map or parcel map is required under this Chapter, or commence construction of any building thereon, or allow occupancy thereof, without first complying with all of the provisions of this Chapter and causing an approved final map or parcel map to be filed for record in the office of the County Recorder.

(c) Conveyances of any part of a division of real property for which a final map or parcel map is required under this Chapter shall not be made by parcel or block number, initial or other designation, unless and until an approved final map or parcel map has been filed for record in the office of the County Recorder.

No final certificate of occupancy shall be issued until all streets, curbs, gutters, utility services, sewer and storm drain facilities and other subdivision or site improvements as required by the tentative map approval, are installed and completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the Community Development Director. A temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued if the City Engineer and the Community Development Director find that no substantial hazard will result from occupancy of any building, or portion thereof, before the improvements are complete, that the work cannot be completed prior to occupancy, and that the work is likely to be completed within twelve months of issuance of the temporary certificate, and that occupancy prior to completion will cause no hazard to the life and safety of occupants or others. The subdivider shall make a request for such temporary certificate in writing, and no occupancy of the building shall be made until such certificate is issued. Such temporary certificate shall be valid for a period not to exceed twelve months, which may be extended only upon a showing of extenuating circumstances that could not have been anticipated at the time of initial issuance. (Ord. No. 398, § 1(Att.), 12-20-2023)

(d) Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit an offer or contract to sell, lease, finance, or transfer real property or to construct improvements thereon, where such sale, lease, financing, or transfer, or the commencement of construction, is expressly conditioned upon the filing for record of an approved final map, as required under this Chapter. (Ord. No. 398, § 1(Att.), 12-20-2023)

No building permit shall be issued for construction of improvements upon any site for which a subdivision map approval is required under this Chapter, until an approved final or parcel map has been filed for record with the County Recorder. For purposes of this Section 14-15.30, a grading permit under Article 16-17 of this Code is not a building permit.
