(A) Expiration.
(1) Final maps of subdivisions of more than four parcels shall be filed for record within 24 months after approval or conditional approval of the tentative map. Delivery of a complete and correct map to the City Engineer shall be deemed a timely filing for purposes of this section.
(2) Upon written application of the subdivider filed prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the Planning Commission may extend the time for filing a final map for a period or periods not exceeding an additional three years if it determines that conditions affecting the subdivision have not substantially changed. Such a request shall automatically extend the map for 60 days or until the application for extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied, in any case where a final map has not been filed within 24 months or such extended period of time as may be granted by the Planning Commission, approval of a new tentative map shall be required.
(B) Multiple final maps.
(1) Multiple final maps of portions of an approved tentative map may be filed prior to the expiration of the tentative map if: the subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the city of the subdivider's intention to file multiple final maps on such tentative map, or after filing of the tentative map, the city and the subdivider concur in the filing of multiple final maps.
(2) If the subdivider is subject to a requirement of $100,000 or more to construct, improve, or finance the construction or improvement of public improvements outside the boundaries of the tentative map, the filing of each multiple map as authorized by Cal. Gov't Code § 66456.1 shall extend the expiration of the tentative map by 36 months from the date of expiration or the date of the filing of the final map, whichever is later. There shall not be more than two such final maps (and automatic extensions) and the extensions shall not extend the tentative map more than ten years from its approval or conditional approval.
