(a) Pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6(c), the subdivider may apply to the Director to stay the expiration date of a tentative map if a lawsuit has been brought involving the approval or conditional approval of a tentative map.

The notice shall advise the property owner that: (1) the subdivider has applied for a stay, (2) the Director will make a decision within 40 days from the date of the application to approve the stay for a period of up to five years or deny the stay, (3) the Director will consider any written comments the property owner submits within 20 days from the date of the notice and (4) how the property owner may request notice of the Director's decision and review or obtain a copy of the decision.
(c) The Director may consider the following factors in determining whether to approve or deny the stay: (1) the adequacy of environmental review that was performed for the tentative map approval in light of any current information on impacts from the proposed subdivision or other changes in circumstances, (2) the effect the lawsuit may have had upon the subdivider's ability to proceed with the project, (3) information provided by the subdivider and the property owners notified of the subdivider's application, (4) any changes in laws, ordinances, regulations or policies applicable to the subdivision since the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, (5) whether any changes in the kind, nature or extent of required improvements are appropriate, (6) information the Director obtains from other County departments or federal or State agencies related to these issues and (7) any other factors the Director determines are relevant.
