or easements.
B. The
retention of all or a portion of previously paid subdivision fees,
deposits or improvement securities if the same are necessary to accomplish

Previously subdivided lands may be merged and resubdivided without
reverting to acreage pursuant to
Government Code Section 66499.201/2
through compliance with all of the applicable requirements for the
subdivision of land. The filing of the final map or parcel map with
the office of the County Recorder shall constitute legal merger and
resubdivision of such parcel, and shall constitute abandonment of
all streets and easements not shown on the map.

Upon request of the legal owner of contiguous parcels, the project
evaluation and review committee may approve the merger of the property
without reverting to acreage. Any such request shall be in writing
signed by all owners and accompanied by an executed "assessor's combining
agreement" and such other data, documents or maps as may be required
by the Community Development Director to illustrate or legally describe
the proposed configuration, easements, dedications, etc. In approving
the combination of parcels, the project evaluation and review committee
may impose reasonable conditions. Upon approval, the Community Development
Director shall file a "notice of merger" with the County Recorder.
