(C) 
The Planning Director shall provide an application for waiver pursuant to this section. After the waiver application is deemed complete, the Planning Director shall approve or deny the application within 50 days. The applicant and any other interested person shall have the right to appeal that decision to the Planning Commission and to the Board of Supervisors in the same manner as set forth in SCCC § 14.01.311, § 14.01.312 and § 14.01.313.
(D) 
If a tentative map or parcel map is required, the County shall not impose any off-site design or improvement requirements unless these are necessary to mitigate an existing health or safety condition. No other dedications, improvements, or in lieu fees shall be required by the County. In no case shall the mitigation of a health or safety condition have the effect of reducing the number, or changing the location, of existing mobile home spaces.
(E) 
If the County imposes requirements on an applicant to mitigate a health or safety condition, the applicant and the County shall enter into an unsecured improvement agreement. The applicant shall have a period of one year from the date the agreement was executed to complete those improvements.
(F) 
If the waiver application provided for in this section is denied pursuant to the provisions of subsection (A) of this section, the applicant may proceed to convert the mobile home park to a tenant-owned, condominium ownership interest, but shall file a tentative parcel or final map. The County may not require the applicant to file and record a tentative and final map unless the conversion creates five or more parcels shown on the map. The number of condominium units or interests created by the conversion shall not determine whether the filing of a parcel map or a final map shall be required.
(G) 
For the purposes of this section, the meaning of "resident ownership" shall be as defined in Section 50781 of the Health and Safety Code.
(Ord. 4181 § 5, 1992)
(A) 
Upon request of the subdivider, the Planning Director may waive the requirement under this chapter for a parcel map if he finds that the proposed division of land complies with the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter as to parcel size, improvements and design, flood water drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sewage disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental protection, and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter, and if the County Surveyor determines that the boundaries of the parcel or parcels are adequately monumented.
(B) 
Waiver of the parcel map shall automatically constitute approval for the issuance of a certificate of compliance pursuant to the provisions of Section 66499.35 of the Subdivision Map Act and SCCC § 14.01.102.5. When a parcel map has been waived, then within one year thereafter, at the request of the owner of the property, the Planning Director shall, without further application or proceedings, issue a certificate of compliance consistent with the waiver and shall file the certificate of compliance with the County Recorder.

(2) 
All private streets, driveways, and parking areas for a community housing project shall be improved and constructed with structural sections according to the County design criteria so as to ensure that access for public services will not be denied any dwelling unit therein by reason of inadequate private streets, driveways, and parking areas.
