If the director determines that the parcel for which an application for a certificate
of compliance has been filed is a lawful parcel as defined in Section 22.15.050 [82-97]
of this Code and otherwise complies with the Subdivision Map Act [Government Code
§ 66410 et seq.], then the director shall cause a certificate of compliance to be
filed for record with the County Recorder. If the director determines that the parcel
for which an application for a certificate of compliance has been filed is not a lawful
parcel or does not comply with the Subdivision Map Act [Government Code § 66410 et
seq.], then the application shall be referred to the Subdivision Review Committee
for public hearing and the hearing fee payment established by Board resolution shall
be made by the applicant. This hearing fee payment shall be made within 30 days of
the referral date or the application shall be deemed to be withdrawn.
Upon receipt of the hearing fee payment, the director shall set for public hearing
before the Subdivision Review Committee, the issues of whether the parcel is a lawful
parcel and otherwise complies with the Subdivision Map Act. The director shall prepare
a written report for the Subdivision Review Committee of the specific reasons why
the director determined that the parcel was not a lawful parcel or does not comply
with the Subdivision Map Act. A copy of this written report shall be furnished to
the applicant at least 5 days prior to the Subdivision Review Committee hearing.
