§ 20-169. Denial of certificate of compliance.

If the advisory agency or zoning administrator determines that such real property does not comply with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act or of this chapter and that conditions cannot be imposed to protect the public health and public safety, it shall deny the application for a certificate of compliance and shall initiate notice of violation proceedings pursuant to section 20-160 et seq. unless the owner appeals or applies for approval of a subdivision or parcel map pursuant to this chapter, in which event the notice of violation procedures shall be held in abeyance until a final decision is made with respect to such appeal or map. Notice of denial of the application for a certificate of compliance shall be mailed to the applicant advising him of his right to appeal the decision of the zoning administrator to the planning commission or to appeal the decision of the planning commission to the board of supervisors and further advising that unless such an appeal is timely filed or application is made for approval of a subdivision or parcel map, notice of violation procedures shall be initiated.
