A. Any person owning real property or a vendee of such person pursuant to a contract of sale of such real property may request, and the city shall determine, whether such real property complies with the provisions of the local ordinance codified in this title and enacted pursuant to the State Subdivision Map Act.
B. Upon making such a determination, the city shall cause a certificate of compliance to be filed for record with the county recorder. The certificate of compliance shall identify the real property and shall state that the division thereof complies with applicable provisions of this title.
C. The city may impose a reasonable fee to cover the cost of issuing and recording the certificate of compliance, in accordance with council resolution. (Ord. 435-89 § 14.10, 1989)
17.60.020 Issuance of certificates—Conditional certificates.
A. If the city determines that such real property does complies with the provisions of this title, it shall issue a certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance. The city may, as a condition to granting a certificate of compliance, impose such conditions as would have been applicable to the division of the property at the time the applicant acquired his or her interest therein, and which had been established at such time by local ordinance, except that where the applicant was the owner of record at the time of the initial violation of the provisions of any local ordinance governing land divisions or the State Subdivision Map Act who, by a grant of the real property, created a parcel or parcels in violation of this title and such person is the current owner of record of one or more of the parcels which were created as a result of the grant in violation of any ordinance of the city, then the city may impose such conditions as would be applicable to a current division of the property. Upon making such a determination and establishing such conditions, the city shall cause a conditional certificate of compliance to be filed for record with the county recorder. Such certificate shall serve as notice to the property owner or vendee who has applied for the certificate pursuant to this section, a grantee of the property owner, or any subsequent transferee or assignee of the property that the fulfillment and implementation of such conditions shall be required prior to subsequent issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for development of the property.
B. Compliance with such conditions shall not be required until such time as a permit or other grant of approval for development of such property is issued by the city. (Ord. 435-89 § 14.20, 1989)
