A. 
No city officer, department or employee shall issue any permit or grant any approval necessary to develop any real property that has been divided, or that has resulted from a division, in violation of the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, this title or any city ordinance in existence at the time of the division if the development of such real property is contrary to the health or safety of the public. The authority to deny such a permit or such an approval shall apply regardless of whether the applicant was the owner of record at the time of such violation or whether the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation at the time of acquisition of an interest in the real property.
B. 
If the proposed development of an illegally created parcel would not be contrary to the health or safety of the public, and if a certificate of compliance is issued pursuant to this title, the city may issue permits or grant approval for the proposed development.
(Ord. 1749 § 3)
Whenever any city department has knowledge that real property may have been divided in violation of the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or of this title, it shall report that knowledge to the planning commission.
(Ord. 1749 § 3)
A. 
The planning commission, after reviewing the report submitted to it by the city department and finding that the circumstances warrant, shall record a notice of intention to record a notice of violation, describing the real property in detail, naming the owners thereof, describing the violation and stating that an opportunity will be given to the owner to present evidence to the planning commission.
B. 
The notice of intention shall be mailed to each owner of the real property. The notice shall specify a time, date and place at which the owner may present evidence to the planning commission of why the notice of violation should not be recorded.
C. 
If, after the owner has presented evidence, it is determined that there has been no violation, the planning commission shall record a release of the notice of intention with the county recorder. If, however, after the owner has presented evidence, the planning commission determines that the property has in fact been illegally divided, or if the owner fails to inform the planning commission of his or her objections to the recording of the notice of violation within 60 days after receiving the notice of violation, the planning commission shall issue the notice of violation and provide a copy of the notice of violation to the zoning administrator.
D. 
The owner may appeal the issuance of a notice of violation as provided in Section 16.04.060. If the issuance is not appealed, or if the appeal is denied, the issuance shall become final, and the notice of violation shall be recorded with the county recorder.
(Ord. 1749 § 3)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this title, in the event that an adjacent parcel is acquired, including a parcel that does not conform to standards for minimum parcel size to permit use or development under a zoning, subdivision or other ordinance of the city and that has been subdivided under this title or any prior ordinance or law regulating the division of land, then no parcel map or subdivision map shall be required for the purpose of sale, lease or financing of that parcel.
(Ord. 1749 § 3)
