A. The approval or conditional approval of a Vesting Tentative Map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with ordinances, policies, and standards described in Cal. Gov't Code § 66474.2, or with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the Vesting Tentative Map is approved or conditionally approved, whichever is later in time.
B. Notwithstanding subsection A., a permit, approval, extension, or entitlement may be made conditional or denied if any of the following are determined:
1. A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both.
2. Imposition of the condition or denial of the permit, approval, extension or entitlement is required in order to comply with state or federal law.
C. The approved or conditionally approved Vesting Tentative Map referred to herein shall expire if a final map is not approved within twenty-four (24) months after its approval or conditional approval. If a final map is approved, these rights shall last for the following periods of time:
1. An initial time period of one year after recordation of the final map. Where several final maps are recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single Vesting Tentative Map, this initial time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded.
2. The initial time period set forth in subsection C.1. shall be automatically extended by any time used for processing a complete application for a grading permit or for design or architectural review, if such processing exceeds thirty (30) days, from the date a complete application is filed.
3. A subdivider may apply to the City Council for a one-year extension at any time before the initial time period set forth in Subsection C.1. expires.
4. If the subdivider submits a complete application for a building permit during the periods of time specified in Subsections C.1. through C.3., the rights referred to herein shall continue until the permit application is denied, or the permit issued thereunder expires or is extended.
