The approval or conditional approval of a tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map shall expire 24 months from the date of its approval. If, however, the subdivider files multiple final maps in accordance with Government Code Section 66456.1 and is required to construct, improve or finance the construction of public improvements of $178,000, or such minimum amount as adjusted by Government Code Section 66452.6(b), or more outside of the boundaries of the tentative subdivision map, excluding improvements of public rights-of-way, which abut the boundary of the property to be subdivided and which are reasonably related to the development of that property, or if the tentative subdivision map is on property subject to an approved development agreement, then the expiration date shall be extended in accordance with Government Code Section 66452.6. (Ord. 510 § 2, 2007)

16.14.020 Requirements for application.

A. Approval of a final subdivision map or parcel map can only be granted where the application for approval is filed with the city engineer before the expiration of the tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map. If the tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map has expired, no final map can be filed without first processing a new tentative subdivision or tentative parcel map.

B. Applications for time extensions may be initiated by the property owner(s) or an authorized agent. The application shall include an application, a letter of justification for the time extension and other information as required by the city planner. Time extension applications are submitted to the city planner prior to the expiration date of the tentative subdivision map or tentative parcel map.

C. Once the application for extension is filed, the map is automatically extended for 60 days or until the planning commission acts on the extension, as long as the aggregate five-year period is not exceeded. (Ord. 510 § 2, 2007)

16.14.030 Review procedures.

Final action on time extension applications shall be taken by the planning commission after a noticed public hearing using the review procedures required for the original development application. (Ord. 510 § 2, 2007)

16.14.040 Time extensions.

A. Extensions of Approved Tentative Subdivision or Parcel Maps. An extension of the expiration date of an approved tentative subdivision or parcel map may be granted by the planning commission for a period or periods not to exceed a total map life of five years.

B. Extensions for Vested Rights. An extension of the expiration date of the vested rights in effect after the filing of a final map may be granted by the planning commission for a period or periods not exceeding one year.

C. Extensions of time shall be subject to the original conditions of approval and any additional conditions imposed by the planning commission and concurred with by the subdivider. (Ord. 510 § 2, 2007)
