A. Whenever a private street is proposed to be used or included in a subdivision, the private street shall conform in all respects with all the requirements contained and set forth in Article 8 (Private Street Regulations) of this Chapter. A Private Street Map need not be filed with the Advisory Agency in addition to the maps required by the provisions of this Article, however, provided that the maps filed in conformance with the provisions of this Article show such street and contain the information pertaining thereto which is required to be provided in such Private Street Maps.
B. If a private street located within the proposed subdivision has been approved in accordance with the then applicable regulations prior to filing the Tentative Map of the subdivision, such street shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section and Article 8 (Private Street Regulations) of this Chapter and no further approval thereof shall be required.
A. Proceedings for reversion to acreage of subdivided real property may be initiated by the City Council on its own motion or by petition of all of the owners of record of the real property within the subdivision pursuant to Sec. 13B.7.3. (Tentative Tract Map) of Chapter 1A of this Code.
1. The petition shall take the form of a tentative tract map application to the Department of City Planning in a form prescribed by the Department. Upon the title sheet of each map filed for the purpose of reverting subdivided land to acreage, the subtitle shall consist of the words “A reversion to acreage of....”. Any map so submitted shall be accompanied by evidence of title and non-use or lack of necessity of any streets or easements which are to be vacated or abandoned. Any streets or easements to be left in effect after the reversion shall be adequately delineated on the map.
2. Notice shall be given and a public hearing shall be held in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec. 13B.7.3. (Tentative Tract Map) of Chapter 1A of this Code.
3. A tentative tract map shall be filed under the provisions of this section for the purposes of reverting to acreage land previously subdivided. A final parcel map may be recorded in lieu of a final tract map, if the property involved originally consisted of four or fewer parcels or condominium units or if the project meets the exception criteria of Section 66426 of the State Government Code and Section 17.50 C. of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. Except as provided in Government Code Section 66445 (e), a certificate shall appear signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the land being reverted, consenting to the preparation and filing of the parcel map.
4. Maps recorded solely for the purpose of combining portions of vacated streets with adjoining lots shall be treated in procedure as Reversion to Acreage Maps.
B. Subdivided real property may be reverted to acreage only if the City Council finds that:
1. Dedications or offers of dedication to be vacated or abandoned by the reversion to acreage are unnecessary for present or prospective public purposes; and
2. Either:
(a) All owners of an interest in the property within the subdivision have consented to reversion; or
(b) None of the improvements required to be made have been within two years from the date the final or parcel map was filed for record, or within the time allowed by agreement with the City Engineer for completion of the improvements, whichever is the later; or
(c) No lots shown on the final or parcel map have been sold within five years from the date the map was filed for record.
C. As conditions of reversion the City Council shall require:
1. Dedications or offers of dedications necessary following reversion;
2. Retention of all previously paid fees necessary to accomplish the purposes of this article;
3. Retention of any portion of required improvement security or deposits if necessary to accomplish the purposes of this article.
D. When a reversion is effective, all fees and deposits shall be returned and all improvement security released, except those retained pursuant to Subdivisions 2. and 3. of Subsection C. above.
E. After approval of the reversion by the City Council, the final map or parcel map shall be delivered to the county recorder. The filing of the final tract map or parcel map shall constitute legal reversion to acreage of the land affected thereby and shall also constitute abandonment of all streets and easements not shown on the map.
Subdivided lands may be merged and resubdivided without reverting to acreage by complying with all the applicable requirements for the subdivision of land as provided by this Article. The filing of the final map or parcel map, pursuant to Div. 13B.7. (Division of Land) of Chapter 1A of this Code, shall constitute legal merging of the separate parcels into one parcel and the resubdivision of the parcel. Any unused fees or deposits previously made pursuant to this Article pertaining to the property shall be credited pro rata towards any requirements which are applicable at the time of resubdivision. Any streets or easements to be left in effect after the resubdivision shall be adequately delineated on the map. After approval of the merger and resubdivision by the City Council, the map shall be delivered to the County Recorder. The filing of the map shall constitute legal merger and resubdivision of the land affected thereby and shall also constitute abandonment of all streets and easements not shown on the map.
A. Payment of fees shall be required in the sums fixed by ordinance for local drainage districts involved and as a condition to approval of final subdivision maps, parcel maps and private street maps, except as provided in Subsection B. of this Section, whenever the City Council determined such need pursuant to former Section 11543.5 of the Business and Professions Code of the State of California or finds and determines such need pursuant to Section 66483 of the Government Code of the State of California, effective March 1, 1975 for a local drainage district, and finds:
1. that subdivision and development of property requires or will require construction of facilities described in the local drainage plan, and
2. that the fees are fairly apportioned within the area on the basis of benefits conferred on the property proposed for subdivision or on the need for facilities created by the proposed subdivision and development of other property within such area.
B. In the event the owner filing the map petitions the City Council for an exemption from payment of fees required by ordinances to be paid to defray actual or estimated costs of constructing planned drainage facilities for removal of surface and storm waters from local or neighborhood drainage areas, and the City Council finds and determines that the final subdivision map, or the parcel map, or the private street map filed for approval is not filed for subdivision or development purposes, the City Council may thereupon exempt that map from payment of said fees or other consideration notwithstanding provisions of Section 17.05 O. (Design Standards; Where Subdivision Includes Land Within Drainage District), Section 17.53 B. (Approval of Preliminary Parcel Map; Where Parcel Map Includes Land Within Drainage District), or Section 18.05 J.4. (Private Street, Lot or Building Site Standards; Improvements, Drainage And Sewage) of this Chapter or requirements of Subsection A. of this Section or of said ordinance for such payment.
1. For purposes of this Subsection the term “subdivision” and the term “development” shall neither include nor apply to final subdivision maps, parcel maps or private street maps that are filed within the City:
(a) in connection with a sale of land which is to be further divided by the filing of either a subdivision map, parcel map or private street map prior to development occurring,
(b) solely for the purposes of reversion to acreage, or to combine portions of vacated streets with adjoining lots or parcels, or to make boundary line adjustments without creating any new lots or parcels, or to effect technical corrections on existing recorded maps in order to cause those maps to conform to actual fact, clarify the record, and cause them to read correctly, provided however that approval or recordation of such new maps does not or will not otherwise change or amend any existing recorded map or any legend thereon.
See Sec. 13B.7.4.E. (Final Tract Map; Standards for Review and Required Findings) of Chapter 1A of this Code.
Upon the filing of a Tentative Map which requires for its implementation the import and/or export of more than 1,000 cubic yards of earth materials, the Advisory Agency shall request that the Superintendent of Building and the General Manager of the Department of Transportation investigate the circumstances of the proposed import or export of earth materials and the effect thereof upon the public health, safety, and welfare. The Advisory Agency shall request the City Engineer to determine the effect of any import and export on the structural integrity of the public streets and to determine the effect on public safety relative to street alignment, width, and grade.
In taking action on such Tentative Map, the Advisory Agency shall impose conditions of approval to mitigate any detrimental effects of the hauling operations necessary to import or export earth, including but not limited to: designating routes to be followed by trucks hauling earth materials; limiting truck weight, length and/or speed; and other conditions of approval as may be necessary to insure repair of damages to public streets along the hauling route that may reasonably be expected to be caused by hauling operations. Such additional conditions may include a condition that the developer shall file a bond for the benefit of the City. Any such bond shall be in a form approved by the City Attorney, executed by the developer and a corporate surety authorized to do business in the State in an amount sufficient to cover the repair of any damage to the public streets reasonably expected to be caused by the hauling operations. The conditions of the bond shall guarantee to indemnify the City for all costs and expense in repairing the damaged streets or other public facilities. In lieu of a surety bond, the developer may file a cash bond with the Department upon the same terms and conditions and in an amount equal to that which would be required in the surety bond. The deposit submitted may be in the form of cash or negotiable United States securities. The term of such bond shall begin on the date of filing and shall remain in effect until the completion of the hauling operations and subsequent inspection of the affected public streets by the Department of Public Works. The Advisory Agency may disapprove the Tentative Map as provided in Section 17.06 A.2.(a) (Tentative Map Standards; Tentative Map Requirements; Action of Advisory Agency) of this Article.
See Sec. 13B.7.4.H. (Final Tract Map; Modification of Recorded Final Tract Map) of Chapter 1A of this Code.
