1. The approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards described in Map Act Section 66474.2.
2. However, if Map Act Section 66474.2 is repealed, the approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the time the vesting tentative map is approved or conditionally approved.
3. Notwithstanding Section 19.66.240 (1) above, a permit approval, extension or entitlement may be made conditional or denied if any of the following findings are determined:
A. A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both.
B. The condition or denial is required, in order to comply with state or federal law.
4. The rights referred to herein shall expire if a final map is not approved prior to the expiration of the vesting tentative map as provided in Section 19.66.230. If the final map is approved, these rights shall last for the following periods of time:
A. An initial time period of 1 year beyond the recording of the final map or parcel map. Where several final maps are recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, this initial time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded. All final maps or parcel maps must be recorded within the time period contained in Section 19.66.160 or the vesting tentative map approval shall expire for those parcels for which final maps or parcel maps are not timely recorded.
B. The initial time period contained in Section 19.66.160 (1) shall be automatically extended by any time used for processing a complete application for a grading permit or for design or architectural review, if the processing exceeds 30 days, from the date a complete application is filed.
C. A subdivider may apply for a 1 year extension at any time before the initial time period outlined in Section 19.66.160 (1) expires.
D. If the subdivider submits a complete application for a building permit during the periods of time outlined in Sections 19.66.240 (4)(A) through 19.66.240 (4)(C), the rights referred to herein shall continue until either expiration or extension of that permit.
E. Consistent with Section 19.66.240, an approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative map shall not limit the City from imposing reasonable conditions on subsequent required approvals or permits necessary for the development.
