(A) (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 Cal. Gov't Code § 66474.2.
(2) However, if said Cal. Gov't Code § 66474.2 is repealed, the approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the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.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of division (A) of this section, a permit, approval, extension, or entitlement may be made conditional or denied if any of the following is determined:
(1) That 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; or
(2) That the condition or denial is required in order to comply with state or federal laws.
(C) The rights referred to in this section shall expire if a final map is not approved prior to the expiration of the vesting tentative map as provided in § 152.47 of this subchapter. If the final map is approved, such rights shall last for the following periods of time:
(1) An initial time period of two years. Where several final maps are recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, such initial time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded;
(2) The initial time period set forth in division (C)(1) of this section shall be automatically extended by any time used for processing a complete application for a grading permit or for design or architectural review if such processing exceeds 30 days after the date a complete application is filed;
(3) A subdivider may apply for a one-year extension at any time before the initial time period set forth in division (C)(1) of this section expires. If the extension is denied, the subdivider may appeal such denial to the Council within 15 days; and
(4) If the subdivider submits a complete application for a building permit during the periods of time specified in divisions (C)(1) and (3) of this section, the rights referred to in this section shall continue until the expiration of such permit or any extension of such permit.
