Whenever the city has knowledge that real property located within the city has been divided in violation of the provisions of this title or the Subdivision Map Act, the zoning administrator shall cause to be filed for record with the county recorder a notice of intention to record a notice of violation, describing the real property in detail, naming the owners thereof, describing the violation, and stating that an opportunity shall be given to the owner to present evidence. Upon recording such a notice of intention to record a notice of violation, the zoning administrator shall mail a copy of such notice to the owner of such real property. The notice shall specify a time, date, and place at which the owner may present evidence to the zoning administrator why such notice should not be recorded. Such evidence shall be limited to material tending to prove or disprove the existence of the alleged violation. If, after the owner has presented evidence, the zoning administrator determines that there has been no violation, the zoning administrator shall record a release of the notice of intention to record a notice of violation with the county recorder. If the zoning administrator determines that the property has in fact been illegally divided, or if within sixty days of receipt of such notice the owner fails to inform the zoning administrator of the owner's objection to recording the notice of violation, the zoning administrator shall record the notice of violation with the county recorder.
Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to require the recordation of any of the notices referred to as a condition precedent to the enforceability of Section 21.04.080 or any other provision of this title, the Subdivision Map Act, or any other provision of law.
