ADOPT Ordinance No. 2015-06 establishing procedures for reverting to acreage previously subdivided land.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance repeals the entire Chapter 924-2 of the County Ordinance Code and replaces it with a new Chapter
924-2, which streamlines the procedure for reverting to acreage previously subdivided land. The Board of
Supervisors (Board), on March 31, 2015, introduced Ordinance No. 2015-06, waived the reading, and fixed April 14,
2015 for adoption. This new ordinance would become effective thirty (30) days after passage, and within fifteen (15)
days after passage would be published in a local newspaper.
As stated in the March 31, 2015 board order, the current procedure requires three Board actions for reversion to
acreage by map (authorization to initiate proceedings, public hearing and adoption of findings, and approving or
disapproving a reversion parcel or final map). The current procedure also requires action by the County Planning
Commission to approve or disapprove a reversion parcel or final map prior the Board’s action to approve or
disapprove. Under this new ordinance, action by the County Planning Commission is no longer required. The
procedure would be streamlined into two Board actions: 1) Initiation of proceedings; and, 2) approval or disapproval
of a parcel or final map. This new procedure would be in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act.
