A. A lot combination map or lot line adjustment map application shall be made in the same form as prescribed for tentative parcel maps (see Section
16.16.050) except that a preliminary title report, prepared within three months prior to the application date shall also be filed. The Community Development Department shall provide public notice according to State Law (State
Government Code Section 65091). The Community Development Department shall consider the report of the Subdivision Review Board and shall hold a hearing and decide the matter. Upon a finding by the Community Development Department that all design and improvement standards and environmental protection measures established by the City will be complied with, the Community Development Director may approve the lot combination map or lot line adjustment map. Upon acceptance of all certificates, guarantees, or other documents which may be required in conjunction with the lot combination or lot line adjustment, the Community Development Department shall file a certificate of compliance, which shall contain an 8½ by 11 inch reduction of the lot combination map or lot line adjustment map as an exhibit, and shall cause the certificate to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder. The Director's action may be appealed to the Planning Commission in the same manner as Zoning Ordinance decisions (See Chapter
