Requests for issuance of a certificate of compliance shall be submitted to the city planner in a format as may be required by the city planner, and accompanied by a plot plan and such supporting information as may be deemed necessary by the city planner to determine compliance. Requests shall be accompanied by a filing fee. (Ord. 510 § 2, 2007)

16.12.020 Review.

A. The city planner shall review the request and determine whether the property or the division thereof complies with the provision of the Subdivision Map Act and this title.

B. If the city planner determines the property or the division thereof complies with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this title, a certificate of compliance shall be issued and recorded.

C. If the city planner determines the property or the division thereof does not comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this title, the city planner shall forward the request to the planning commission. The planning commission, following a public hearing noticed in the same manner as provided by EMC 16.11.020(D), shall then direct the city planner to issue and record either a certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance.

1. A conditional certificate of compliance may impose conditions that would normally have been required under titles in effect at the time the applicant acquired his or her interest in the parcel or parcels.

2. Notwithstanding subsection (C)(1) of this section, if the applicant was the owner of record at the time of the initial violation, the planning commission may impose any conditions that would be applicable to a current division of property.

3. Compliance with conditions imposed by the planning commission shall not be required until the time that a permit or other grant of approval for development of the property is issued.

D. After the planning commission makes a determination and establishes any conditions, the city planner shall file the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance with the county recorder. (Ord. 510 § 2, 2007)
