§ 8.48.100. Dispute resolution procedure.

A.

30 days prior to making recommendation to the board supervisors to approve the final map pursuant to an application to convert, the county engineer shall advise all tenants in the structure of his intent to make such recommendation. If the county engineer receives within said 30-day period written notification from any tenant that the applicant has not complied with the covenant and agreement requirement by Section 8.48.080, the county engineer shall, within five business days, refer the matter to a hearing officer appointed from a list of approved hearing officers to be developed by the director of the regional planning department. The hearing officer shall, within 30 days, determine whether the applicant has complied with the covenants and agreements, and notify the county engineer of his findings. The hearing officer's fee shall be borne by the subdivider. The county engineer shall collect said fee from the applicant prior to recommending approval of the final map. The county engineer shall not recommend approval of the final map until notified by the hearing officer that all covenants and agreements have been complied with.

B.

The director of the regional planning department shall develop a list of hearing officers qualified to perform the functions set forth in subsection A of this section. Hearing officers designated shall be neither tenants nor landlords of residential housing.
