A. A violation of this chapter is a misdemeanor. In addition to any penalties provided in this code, the City may also employ any legal, equitable or summary remedy to which it is entitled including, without limitation, those remedies set forth in the State Subdivision Map Act.

B. The City shall not issue a permit or grant any approval necessary to develop any real property which has been divided, or which has resulted from a division, in violation of the provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act or this chapter if it finds that development of such real property is contrary to the public health or the public safety. The authority to deny such a permit or approval shall apply whether the applicant therefor was the owner of record at the time of such violation or whether the applicant therefor is either the current owner of record or a vendee thereof with, or without, actual or constructive knowledge of the violation at the time of the acquisition of an interest in such real property.

C. If the City issues a permit or grants approval for the development of any real property illegally subdivided, the City may impose those additional conditions which would have been applicable to the division of the property at the time the current owner of record acquired the property. If the property has the same owner of record as at the time of the initial violation, the City may impose conditions applicable to a current division of the property. If a conditional certificate of compliance has been filed for record in accordance with the provisions of SMC 16.52.040, only those conditions stipulated in that certificate shall be applicable.
