17.94.020 Definition of merger.
Where two or more contiguous parcels or units of land held by the same owner do not conform to standards to permit use or development under Amador County ordinances and where a reversion to acreage is found by the county not to be necessary or desirable, then such parcels or units of land may be merged for the purposes of this chapter. (Ord. 854 §2(part), 1982).

The owner of contiguous parcels or units of land shall be the only party which may request merger. Said board may decide to have said merger filed for record only after a public hearing, thirty days’ notice of which is given to the owner of the parcels or units to be affected by the merger. Said notice shall be in writing and shall state the intention of said board to record the notice and specifying a time, date, and place at which the owner may present evidence to the board of supervisors why such notice should or should not be recorded. (Ord. 854 §2(part), 1982).

The Amador County surveyor shall prepare a form to record mergers and an application form and shall be responsible for processing notice of mergers pursuant to this chapter.
