Final action on an application for approval of a tentative subdivision plan shall be taken within 120 days after the application is found to be complete, pursuant to MCMC 18.185.150(6), unless the 120-day period has been extended by written request of the applicant.

17.20.110 Staged development for subdivision.
When an applicant desires to record and develop subdivision plats covering portions of an approved tentative plan in stages, the planning commission may authorize a time schedule for platting up to as many as three stages in periods of time such as one year for first stage, two years for second stage, and three years for third stage, but in no case shall the total time period for platting all stages be greater than four years without resubmission of the tentative plan as a new application. Each stage so platted and developed shall conform to the applicable requirements of this title. If any other secondary permits are required for the development, the time period shall be included in the initial approval of the permit applications. The city administrator or the city administrator’s designee may extend authorization for an additional one year, provided a written request from the applicant is submitted prior to the expiration date, stating the reason(s) why an extension should be granted. [Ord. 469 § 2.080, 1980].
