In the case of a minor subdivision for which the requirement of a parcel map has been waived, the property owner may apply for the issuance of a certificate of compliance. Such application shall be made within the time limits specified for the filing of the otherwise required final or parcel map. Prior to issuance of a certificate of compliance, the owner shall fulfill all conditions of tentative or preliminary parcel map approval as would be required in the approval of a final or parcel map. The issuance of such a certificate of compliance shall be made upon such terms and conditions as would be applicable were a final or parcel map to be filed.
Such terms and conditions shall be stated in the certificate of compliance.
(Ord. 4661 § 9, 2000: Ord. 3157 § 1 (part), 1979)
Any property owner may request in writing that the city engineer determine whether such property complies and was created in conformance with this title and the Subdivision Map Act, or was lawfully created prior to the applicability of such provisions. Upon making such a determination, the city engineer shall issue and cause a certificate of compliance to be recorded with the county recorder. No such certificate shall be issued for any lots merged pursuant to Section 21.04.040. Any property owner making application under this section shall have the obligation of furnishing to the city engineer such evidence and documents as may be required to enable the city engineer to make the determinations required under this chapter.
