(A) The date the final map or parcel map is deemed filed with the City Council shall be the date of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council following the date on which the City Clerk receives the recommendation for map approval from the City Engineer. The City Council shall consider approval of the subdivision improvement agreement and improvement security and any other required agreements in conjunction with the approval of the map. If any of the items requiring City Council approval are deemed unacceptable by the Council, the City Council shall instruct the City Engineer to secure corrections, according to their direction.
(B) The City Council shall approve or disapprove the subdivision improvement agreement, improvement security, and final map or parcel map at the meeting at which it receives the map or at the next regular meeting following the meeting at which it received the map. If the City Council does not approve or disapprove the map within this time period, or any authorized extension thereof, and the map conforms to all requirements and rulings, it shall be deemed approved. The City Clerk shall certify or state its approval thereon.
(C) The City Council shall not postpone or refuse approval of a final map or parcel map because the subdivider has failed to meet a tentative map condition requiring construction or installation of offsite improvements on land which neither the subdivider nor the city has sufficient title or interest to permit the improvements to be made. However, in such case, prior to final map or parcel map approval, the subdivider shall be required to enter into an agreement with the city to complete such improvements pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code § 66462 upon acquisition of such title and interest by the city. Upon entering into such agreement, the city shall acquire the subject property interest in accordance with the provisions of Cal. Gov’t Code § 66462.5. Failure of the subdivider to execute such an agreement shall be cause by the City Council to refuse approval of the final map or parcel map.
