An application for a certificate of compliance shall be filed
with the director on a form prescribed by the city engineer. If a
parcel map or final map has been recorded for the subject lot, then
it constitutes a certificate of compliance and no further action shall
be required.
(Ord. 2747 § 1, 1993; Ord. 3732 § 5, 2001)
The city engineer shall determine whether or not the property
complies with the Subdivision Map Act and this title. If the city
engineer finds that the division of property did not or does not comply
with this title or the Subdivision Map Act at the time the division
occurred or at present, it shall issue a conditional certificate of
compliance, imposing such conditions as would have been applied at
the time the division occurred. Compliance with the conditions shall
not be required, however, until the time that a permit or other development
approval is issued by the city.
Before issuing a certificate of compliance, the city engineer
shall find that the division of land complies with provisions of the
Subdivision Map Act and this title.
If the person seeking the certificate of compliance is the original violator of the Subdivision Map Act or this title, then all findings must be made for a tentative map as required by Chapter 18.06 of this title.
If the person seeking the certificate is not the original violator
of the Subdivision Map Act or this title, the conditions imposed shall
be those which would have been required for the division of property
at the time the applicant acquired his or her interest in the property.
Following the approval or conditional approval of the request,
the city engineer shall file the certificate(s) or conditional certificate(s)
of compliance with the county recorder after the expiration of any
appeal period as provided for in this title.
