(Ord. 1080 §1(part), 1986)

A.

Where a county officer, committee, commission, or board is given a specified time in which to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove documents submitted by a subdivider, such time limit may be extended by the mutual consent of the subdivider, either express or implied, and the responsible officer, commission, committee, or board.

B.

Where a county officer, committee, commission or board is given a specified time in which to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove documents submitted by a subdivider, and if no such action is taken by the officer, committee, commission or board within the specified period or within an authorized extension thereof, the document shall be deemed to be approved, insofar as it complies with other applicable requirements of this title and other county and State laws, and it shall be the duty of the county officer, or clerk or secretary of the committee, commission, or board to certify such approval.

C.

In cases where the board of supervisors does not approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a final map within the time limit specified by this title, and the map is therefore deemed approved, such approval does not constitute acceptance of any offers of dedication made on the final map.

(Ord. 1080 §1(part), 1986)

No person shall offer to sell or lease, to contract to sell or lease, to sell or lease, or to finance any parcel or parcels of real property or to commence construction of any building for sale, lease, or financing thereon, except for model homes, or to allow occupancy thereof, for which a final map or parcel map is required by

this title, until such map thereof is in full compliance with this title and has been filed for record by the county recorder. Any person who violates any provision of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

(Ord. 1080 §1(part), 1986)

A.

No county official or department shall issue any permit or grant any approval necessary to develop any real property which has been divided, or which has resulted from a division, in violation of the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or of the provisions of this title if it finds that development of such property is contrary to the public health or public safety.

B.

If a county official or department issues a permit or grants approval for the development of any such property, it may impose those conditions that would have been applicable to the division of the property at the time the current owner of record acquired the property, and it shall request the planning director to issue a certificate of compliance upon fulfillment or implementation of the conditions.

C.

If a conditional certificate of compliance has been recorded pursuant to Section 16.56.050, only the conditions stipulated in that certificate shall apply.

(Ord. 1080 §l(part), 1986)

A.

Any person owning real property may request, and both the planning director and the county surveyor shall determine, whether such real property complies with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and any county ordinances enacted pursuant thereto. Upon making such a determination, the planning director shall cause a certificate of compliance to be filed for record with the county recorder. A nonrefundable filing fee shall be paid in advance as set forth in the county fee resolution.

B.

If the county surveyor determines that such real property does not comply with state or county laws, he may, as a condition to granting a certificate of compliance, establish such conditions as would have been applicable to a division of the property at the time the current owner of record acquired the property. Upon making such a determination and establishing such conditions, the planning director shall record a conditional certificate of compliance. Compliance with the conditions of the certificate shall not be required except as prerequisite to the issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for development of the property.

C.

A recorded final or parcel map shall constitute a certificate of compliance with respect to the parcels of real property described therein.

(Ord. 1080 §1(part), 1986)

Whenever the planning director has knowledge that real property has been divided in violation of the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or of county ordinances enacted pursuant thereto, he shall cause to be filed for record with the county recorder a tentative notice of violation. Such notice shall describe the real property in detail, name the owners thereof, describe the violation and state that an opportunity will be given to the owner to present evidence. At least thirty days prior to the recording of a final notice of violation, the owner of the real property shall be advised, in writing, of the intention to record such notice, specifying a time, date, and place at which the owner may present evidence to the planning director why such notice should not be recorded. If it is determined that there has been no violation, the planning director shall file a release of the tentative notice with the county recorder. The county clerk shall index the names of the fee owners in the general index.
