(A) A vesting tentative map shall be processed in the same manner as required for tentative maps in chapter 7 of this title, or for tentative parcel maps in chapter 8 of this title; provided, however, on vesting tentative subdivision maps, the planning commission shall only make a recommendation to the city council, and the map shall then be set for hearing before the city council, jointly with a zone change or development plan when applicable, within thirty (30) days of the planning commission action.
The decision on a vesting tentative subdivision map is not final until the city council has acted on the matter as noted herein.
(B) A vesting tentative map shall not be approved unless it is found to be consistent with the general plan for the property proposed to be subdivided. A vesting tentative map application, which is consistent with the then current general plan at the time of its initial submittal, shall be deemed incomplete.
(C) A vesting tentative map shall not be approved unless it is consistent with the zoning of the property proposed to be subdivided. A vesting tentative map, which is inconsistent with the then current zoning at the time of submittal, shall be deemed incomplete unless an application for a change in zoning, and any other discretionary approval as may be required, is submitted concurrently with the vesting tentative map. If a change in the zoning, or any other discretionary approval as may be required, is obtained concurrently with the approval or conditional approval of the vesting tentative map, the approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative maps shall confer the vested right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with the change so obtained. Vesting tentative maps shall not be approved with a condition that other discretionary approvals be subsequently secured. (Ord. 1626, 7-8-2008)
