Solano County Municipal Code Art. XIV Reversions to Acreage, Resubdivision, and Mergers

Previously subdivided real property, regardless of whether it was previously subdivided by maps or by conveyance, may be merged and resubdivided without first reverting to acreage by following all the procedures and requirements, including the payment of fees, for subdividing property that are contained in this Chapter and the Subdivision Map Act. Such merger and resubdivision shall occur automatically upon recordation of the applicable final map, parcel map, or certificate of compliance.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

Property owner(s) may request and initiate proceedings for the merger of real property by meeting all of the requirements, including the payment of fees, for an application for the subdivision of property by parcel map that are contained in this Chapter and the Subdivision Map Act, provided that all references to the proposed merger and all references to the “subdivider” shall be deemed to be to the applicant for the merger. Any two or more contiguous lots in common ownership, regardless of whether they were created by map or by conveyance, may be merged so as to create one new lot. An application for a merger shall be processed as an application for a ministerial permit, without public notice or hearing, where all of the preexisting lots are legal lots. In all other cases, upon receipt of the request, the Director of Environmental Management shall process the application and schedule the matter for a hearing before the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may impose those conditions, with respect to the illegal lot(s), which it could require for the issuance of a conditional certificate of compliance pursuant to Article V of this Chapter. If the request is approved, the recording of the parcel map, certificate of compliance, or conditional certificate of compliance shall create one new lot out of the affected existing lots by eliminating all common lot lines that separate such lots from each other.
