(a) An application for a map waiver shall be on a form satisfactory to the Planning Director and shall be accompanied by documents containing all of the information specified in Sections 8-1.306, 8-1.404, 8-2.502 and 8-2.503, as applicable, provided that the Planning Director may, in individual cases, permit the omission of items of information deemed by it not to be necessary for a proper review of the application. The application shall also be accompanied by a legal description and a sketch, prepared by a person authorized to practice land surveying, of each of the lots to be created by the subdivision or merger and, where applicable, each of the affected lots in existence at the time of application. The sketch shall include a north arrow and the bearings and distances for all the lot lines including, where applicable, distances between old and new lot lines. Where, in the opinion of the Planning Director, a field survey is necessary in order to support a required finding that one or more of the lots to be created will conform to applicable zoning requirements, the application shall be accompanied by a field survey. The application for a mobile home park condominium conversion described in subsection (b) of Section 8-2.303 shall also be accompanied by a petition in the form specified in Section 66428.1 of the Subdivision Map Act signed by at least two-thirds of the owners of mobile homes who are tenants in the mobile home park.
(b) An application for a map waiver shall be processed in the same manner as an application for a tentative parcel map. Prior to expiration of the map waiver approval, legal descriptions describing the parcels, as approved by the Advisory Agency, shall be provided by the applicant(s) in a form and content acceptable to the Planning Director. Also, the applicant shall obtain certification from the County Tax Collector which states that according to the records of his/her department there are no liens against the parcels for unpaid state, county, or municipal or local taxes or special assessments collected as taxes, except taxes or special assessments not yet payable. The Planning Director shall prepare and sign a certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance to indicate compliance with all of the conditions of the approval of the map waiver.
(c) A map waiver shall not become operative unless and until the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance is recorded in the Office of the County Recorder prior to expiration of the approval. Unless a certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance is recorded the approval shall expire two (2) years from the date of the approval in the cases described in Sections 8-1.313(a) and 8-1.505(a). After approval of the map waiver, the Planning Director shall indicate on a separate document all conditions that, according to proof supplied by the applicant, have been satisfied. If all conditions that are required to be satisfied prior to the recording of the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance have not been satisfied, the Planning Director shall not sign and record the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance. If all conditions that are required to be satisfied prior to the recording of the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance have been satisfied, the Planning Director shall prepare and sign the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance, including applicable legal descriptions and sketches provided by the applicant, and shall transmit it to the County Recorder. When recorded, the certificate of compliance or conditional certificate of compliance shall have the same force and effect as a recorded parcel map.
