The Director of Environmental Management shall review the completed application in the light of public records. If the Director of Environmental Management is able to determine from this review that the lot is clearly in compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and the Subdivision Map Act, he or she shall issue a certificate of compliance for the lot and deliver the certificate to the County Recorder for recordation. If the Director of Environmental Management is unable to determine from this review that the lot is clearly in such compliance, he or she shall serve written notice on the applicant that the application will be referred to the Advisory Agency for a hearing pursuant to Section 26-52.3.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

If the Director of Environmental Management refers the application to the Advisory Agency for hearing, the Secretary of the Advisory Agency shall mail by certified mail to the applicant and to all record owners of the lot a notice conforming in all respects to a notice of intention as specified in Section 26-164, except that the notice shall not be recorded with the County Recorder. The Advisory Agency shall conduct the hearing in the same manner as a hearing under Section 26-164. If the determination of the Advisory Agency is that the lot is in compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and the Subdivision Map Act, the Secretary of the Advisory Agency shall issue a certificate of compliance for the lot and delivery it to the County Recorder for recordation. If the determination of the Advisory Agency is that the lot is not in such compliance, the Secretary of the Advisory Agency shall file for record with the County Recorder a notice of violation complying with the provisions of Section 66499.36 of the Subdivision Map Act or file a conditional certificate of compliance, and shall so notify the applicant.
