Subdivided real property may be reverted to acreage pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, this chapter and the subdivision manual.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

Petitions shall conform with such requirements as to form and content as may be specified in the subdivision manual and shall include a final tract map. If the land to be reverted consists of four or less contiguous parcels under the same ownership, a parcel map may be submitted in lieu of the tract map. No reversion shall be complete until such map has been filed for record with the county recorder.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

Petitions for reversion to acreage shall be reviewed by the subdivision committee. They shall make recommendations thereon to the director within 30 days of the date the petition was filed with the director. Thereafter, the director shall transmit the petition and the subdivision committee's recommendations through the planning commission to the clerk of the city council, who shall set the matter for public hearing before the city council. The clerk shall publish a notice of the time and place of said hearing in accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and give written notice of the hearing to the petitioners.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the city council may make such findings, including those set forth in the Subdivision Map Act, as the city council deems appropriate. If the city council intends to approve the reversion to acreage, it shall impose the conditions required by the Subdivision Map Act. If the proposed final or parcel map has been approved by the county surveyor, the city council may approve the reversion and authorize transmitting the map to the county recorder for recordation. The city council may disapprove the proposed reversion or may continue the matter until the final tract map or parcel map has been approved by the city engineer. Thereafter the city council may approve the reversion and authorize transmitting the map to the county recorder for recordation. The applicant shall then transmit the approved final tract or parcel map to the county recorder for recordation.
