YAVAPAI COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE Page 99 considered a Record of Survey, the survey must be recorded independent of the Land Division Permit, not just as a supplement/attachment. 7. Noticing of Access or Zoning Deficiencies When there are legal access or minimum zoning requirement deficiencies, which must be recorded as a Notice of Deficiency, said noticing shall consist of a detailed description of the deficiency as set out in the staff review of the application. For zoning deficiencies, the Zoning Ordinance Section(s) and the nature of the deficiencies shall be included. The deficiency notice should include the concluding statement “Until the noted access and zoning deficiencies are removed by variance, Use Permit or Zoning Map Change and legal access issues are addressed, no building permits will be issued on this land division parcel.” The following statement must be placed on the notice (form provided by the Department) accompanied by notarized signatures of the buyer/transferee of the land division following the listing of the deficiencies: “Undersigned buyer/transferee hereby certifies that he/she has read and understands the above information and acknowledges receipt of any other relevant disclosures about the property as prescribed by law. Buyer/transferee further states that any deficiencies noted above have been investigated and buyer/transferee accepts same.” “Yavapai County assumes no liability with the required noticing of deficiencies.” 8. Removal of Deficiencies If zoning or access deficiencies are corrected, for example through a Zoning Map Change, variance, Use Permit or through acquisition of access, it shall be the responsibility of the original property owner or subsequent responsible party to remove the deficiencies by filing/recording a Release of Noticed Deficiencies and if necessary, an amended map, subject to approval by the Department prior to recordation. The applicant will provide verification of legal access via signed notarized statements and accompanying supporting materials.
