(A) Upon application of the subdivider filed prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative map, the time that the map expires may be extended for periods of one year to a maximum of three years. Extension requests shall be in writing and be filed with the Community Development Department on or before the date of expiration of the approval or previous extension, together with the filing fee as required by resolution of the City Council. The Planning Commission may grant the extensions only after finding that:
(1) There have been no changes to the provisions of the general plan or zoning applicable to the project since the approval of the tentative map;
(2) There have been no changes in the character of the site or its surroundings that affect how the policies and standards of the general plan or zoning ordinance apply to the project; and
(3) There have been no changes to the capacities of community resources, including but not limited to water supply, sewage treatment or disposal facilities, roads or schools such that there is no capacity to serve the project.
(B) Disapproval of the requested extension by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council within 15 calendar days of such action. Any rights conferred by the subchapter shall expire if a final map is not approved and recorded prior to the expiration of the vesting tentative map.
