Sec. C1-55. Properties annexed to cities but returned to County jurisdiction pursuant to Government Code § 35004 [now repealed].

In the event that unincorporated territory of the County is annexed to a city and jurisdiction over such territory reverts to the County pursuant to Government Code § 35004 [now repealed] while the validity of the annexation proceedings is examined in court, the following policies shall apply to the development of properties within such territory;

(1) Whenever a development project has received final discretionary approval by a city prior to reversion of jurisdiction pursuant to Government Code § 35004 [now repealed], if the underlying land use is allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located, the County shall accept such approval and allow the project to proceed subject to fulfillment of any conditions established by the city and inspections, utility hookups and other ministerial actions normally taken or required by the County for the completion of the project. County departments shall charge fees for services provided to such development projects in accordance with fee schedules adopted by the Board of Supervisors.

(2) If an application for a development project has been filed with a city but the city has not granted final discretionary approval to the project prior to reversion of jurisdiction pursuant to Government Code § 35004 [now repealed], a new application may be filed with the County notwithstanding the provisions of Section C1-52 of this article. When there is no conflict with adopted County standards, the land development policies, standards and decisions of the annexing city shall be used as the primary guide for actions taken on such development projects.

(3) For the purposes of this section, "development project" means any activity involving the issuance of a permit or other entitlement for the use or division of any parcel of land or for the erection, installation, construction, reconstruction, modification or repair of any structure or improvement on land or for the grading or removal of materials on real property. "Development project" does not include zone changes.
