The city council finds that the development of property divided in violation of this title, the Subdivision Map Act, or any predecessor legislation, prior to review of such property and determination whether it complies with current standards for lot size and design and whether imposition of any conditions is required, is contrary to the public health and safety. Therefore, no permit or approval of any type necessary for the development of such property shall be issued by the city, whether the applicant was the owner of record at the time of such violation or whether the applicant is either the current owner of record or the vendee of the current owner of record pursuant to a contract of sale of the real property with or without actual or constructive knowledge of the violation at the time of the acquisition of the applicant's interest in such real property, until such time as a final or parcel map or certificate of compliance for the property is approved and recorded. The enforcement of the provisions of this section shall be in addition to any other remedy or penalty provided by law for violation of this title or the Subdivision Map Act.
