Notwithstanding § 7.20.120 (Expiration of a Tentative Map), the initial 36-month term of approved or conditionally approved tentative maps may be extended as follows:
(A) Request by the subdivider. Prior to the expiration of the tentative map, the subdivider may apply for an extension of time. The subdivider shall file with the Community Development Director a completed application form, pay all applicable fees, and submit the required number of copies of the tentative map and all supporting materials and documents required on the city’s official application form, including, but not limited to, environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA.
(B) Provided no changes are being requested by the subdivider, the Director may approve one or more extensions not to exceed a total of six years, and may impose additional conditions of approval on a future related action to maintain the public health, safety, and welfare and/or to comply with current city standards and ordinances, and state or federal requirements to the extent allowed by law.
(C) If, as part of the request for extension of the term of a tentative map, the subdivider requests changes or amendments to the tentative map or the conditions of approval for that map, the project shall be reviewed in accordance with § 7.20.140 (Modifications of Tentative Maps) and the city may require amendments to the tentative map or the conditions of approval.
(D) If a subdivider is required to expend the amount specified in Cal. Gov’t Code § 66452.6 to construct, improve, or finance the construction or improvement of public improvements outside the property boundaries of the tentative 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, each filing of a final map authorized by Cal. Gov’t Code § 66456.1 shall extend the expiration of the approved or conditionally tentative map by 36 months from the date of its expiration or the date of a previously filed final map, whichever is later. The extensions shall not extend the term of the tentative map more than ten years from its date of original approval.
