§ 20.16.100. Amendments permissible with certificate of correction or certificate of compliance.

After a final tract map or parcel map is filed in the office of the County Recorder, such a recorded final map may be modified for the purposes of correcting an error or omission shown on the recorded map, or dissolving a recorded condominium map.

A.

To Correct an Error or Omission. A final map may be amended by recording a certificate of correction or an amending map to correct an error or omission in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act. These errors or omissions may include lot numbers, acreage, street names, identification of adjacent record maps, reference of previous survey information, the description of the real property, or the location or character of any monument.

An amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared and signed by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor and shall be approved by the Director of Planning and Building and the City Engineer.

B.

To Dissolve a Previously Recorded Condominium Map. A final map may be amended by recording a certificate of compliance to dissolve a previously recorded condominium map if the current property owner(s) finds that there is no need to maintain the subject property for a condominium purpose; instead, the owner(s) wishes to retain the property as a single ownership.

To request such an amendment, the applicant shall submit an application to the Department of Planning and Building with the following information:

1.

A current title report providing the legal description of the properties included in the application; and

2.

Signatures of the present fee owner(s) of the property.

Upon receiving a complete application, the requested amendment will be scheduled for a Zoning Administrator public hearing. A notice of this hearing shall be given to the applicant not less than ten (10) days prior to the date set for the hearing, and the applicant shall be responsible to post a hearing notice on the subject property. At the scheduled hearing, the Zoning Administrator shall act to approve or disapprove the requested amendment. The Zoning Administrator's decision is appealable to the Planning Commission in accordance with the Municipal Code, Chapter 21.21, Division 5. After the requested amendment is approved, the City will record a certificate of compliance indicating that the previously recorded condominium is officially dissolved.
