The purpose of this chapter is to provide a simplified procedure to allow for the removal of previously approved parcel lines and the merger of contiguous parcels under common ownership at the request of the property owner, pursuant to California Government Code section 66499.20.3. The procedure provided by this chapter is an alternative to the procedures provided by chapters 17.828, 17.832 and 17.836. Nothing stated herein shall be construed to prevent an applicant from filing a tentative map, a final map or a parcel map for any merger. (Ord. 2017-0009 § 21)
