(a) When a subdivider with an approved or conditionally approved tentative map is required to expend an amount equal to or greater than the amount specified in Government Code section 66452.6(a) for public improvements outside the boundaries of the tentative map that are reasonably related to the property, each filing of a final map on a portion of an approved tentative map, as authorized by Government Code section 66456.1, shall extend the tentative map's expiration date, as provided in Government Code section 66452.6(a).
(b) A subdivider may file a written application with the Director for an extension of a tentative map pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6(e), except that no application for an extension shall be filed more than 180 days before the map expiration date. The procedures for approval of an extension shall be as provided in section 81.317. An application for an extension may be approved for up to 72 months and shall be in addition to the extension in subsection (a).
(c) The time period provided in subsection (a), including any extension approved or conditionally approved pursuant to subsection (b), shall not include any time period during which there is a development moratorium, as provided in Government Code section 66452.6(b)(1).
