10-1.1303 Certificate of Compliance.

1. Any person owning real property may request the City Engineer to determine whether the real property complies with the provisions of this chapter and the Subdivision Map Act.

2. Upon making a determination that the real property complies with this Chapter and the Subdivision Map Act, the City Engineer shall cause a certificate of compliance to be filed for record with the County Recorder. The certificate of compliance shall identify the real property and shall state that the division of land complies with the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter.

3. If the City Engineer determines that the real property does not comply with the provisions of the Municipal Code or Subdivision Map Act, the City Engineer may, as a condition to granting a certificate of compliance, impose conditions according to §10-1.1302.5. Upon making a determination and establishing conditions, the City Engineer or authorized representative shall file a conditional certificate of compliance for record with the County Recorder. The certificate shall serve as notice to the property owner who has applied for the certificate, a grantee of the property owner, or any subsequent transferee or assignee of the property, that the fulfillment and implementation of the conditions shall be required prior to subsequent issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for development of the property.

Compliance with the conditions shall not be required until a permit or other grant of approval for development of the property is issued.

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

5. For the purposes of administration of this section, any parcel which conforms with the Zoning Ordinance shown on the County Assessor's maps as a separate parcel prior to 1963 shall be considered as a conforming parcel.

6. A fee to be charged at actual cost shall be charged to the applicant for making the determination and processing the certificate of compliance. A deposit may be required to be applied toward this fee.
