Chapter 23 SUBDIVISIONS
Article VII. Violations and Certificates of Compliance.
23-108 Hearings and notices.
The advisory agency, after reviewing the report submitted to
it by the city department and finding that the circumstances warrant,
shall:
(1) Set for hearing before the advisory agency the question
of whether or not there has been a division of land in violation of the
Subdivision Map Act or this chapter, and whether a notice of intention to record
a notice of violation shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder. If
it appears to the advisory agency that a violation has occurred, the advisory
agency shall then record a notice of intention to record a notice of violation,
describing the real property in detail, naming the owners thereof, and
describing the violation, and stating that an opportunity will be given to the
owner to present evidence to the city council.
Upon recording a notice of intention to record a notice of
violation the advisory agency shall cause to be mailed to each owner of such
real property a copy of such notice. The notice shall specify a time, date and
place at which the owner may present evidence to the city council why such
notice of violation should not be recorded. If, after the owner has presented
evidence, it is determined that there has been no violation, the city council
shall record a release of the notice of intention to record a notice of
violation with the county recorder. If, however, after the owner has presented
evidence, the city council determines that the property has in fact been
illegally divided, or if within sixty days of receipt of such copy the owner of
such real property fails to inform the city council of his objections to the
recording of the notice of violation the city council shall record the notice of
violation with the county recorder.
(2) A copy of such notice shall be delivered to the director
of public works. After such delivery no permits or approval shall be issued
until a final determination has been made regarding recordation of a notice of
violation. The hearing before the city council shall be held no sooner than
seventy-five days after the mailing of notice to the owner of such real
property; provided, however, that said owner may request in writing for such
hearing to be advanced to a sooner date and the city council may agree to such
advancement. (Ord. No. 1305, (part).)
