Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the property-owner list affidavit notarized?
- The person who prepares the 300-foot radius map and property-owner mailing labels must certify the list in the attached affidavit. Sign and swear to the affidavit before a notary, then submit it with the application packet.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- The packet identifies the property-owner list affidavit as requiring notarization. The application also has applicant and property-owner signature lines, but the form does not label those signatures as notarized.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- California notaries cannot perform remote online notarization until the Secretary of State certifies the technology or 2030. California recognizes out-of-state notarizations under Civil Code §1189(b); ask the city whether it will accept your notarized affidavit, and confirm with the city if unsure.
- What supporting materials does the application request?
- The instructions list applicable fees, an Environmental Assessment Form, a 300-foot radius map, property-owner mailing labels that correspond to the map, and the notarized affidavit. Staff may require other materials.
