Definition of Vesting Tentative Map. A "vesting tentative map" shall mean a tentative map for a residential subdivision, as defined in this Title, that shall have printed conspicuously on its face the words "Vesting Tentative Map" at the time it is filed in accordance with Section 16.24.040 of this chapter, and is thereafter processed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the Subdivision Map Act. 16.24.040.

If a subdivider does not seek the rights conferred by Chapter 4.5 of Division 2 of Title 7 of the Government Code and this chapter, 704CP/ORD7.1-4 -1- Ordinance No. 203 the filing of a vesting tentative map shall not be a prerequisite to any approval for any proposed subdivision, permit for construction, or work preparatory to construction. 16.24.050.

Fees. Upon filing a vesting tentative map, the subdivider shall pay the fees as established by City Council Resolution. 16.24.070. Condition Precedent to Approval.

Vested Rights Created by Approval of Vesting Tentative Map. A. Subject to the time limits established by paragraph C of this section, the approval or conditional approval of a vesting tenta- tive map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and stan- dards described in Government Code Section 66474.2. If Section 66474.2 of the Government Code is repealed, however, the approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance 704CP/ORD7.1-4 -2- Ordinance No. 203 with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the vesting tentative map is approved or conditionally approved subject to the time limits established by paragraph C of this sec- tion. B. Notwithstanding paragraph A of this section, a permit, appro- val, extension, or entitlement may be made conditional or denied even though such action may be contrary to the ordinances, poli- cies , and standards described in paragraph A if any of the following are determined: 1. A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdi- vision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both. 2. The condition or denial is required in order to comply with state or federal law. C. The rights referred to in paragraph A of this section shall expire if a final map is not approved prior to the expiration of the vesting tentative map as provided in Section 16.24.080 of this chapter. If the final map is timely approved, such rights shall exist for the following periods of time: 1. An initial time period of one year after the recording of the final map. Where several final maps are recorded on vari- ous 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. 2. The initial time period set forth in subparagraph 1 above shall be automatically extended by any time used for process- ing a complete application for a grading permit or for site plan review, if such processing exceeds thirty days from the date a complete application is filed. 3. The subdivider may apply to the City Council for a one- year extension at any time before the expiration of the ini- tial time period set forth in subparagraph C.1 of this sec- tion. 4. If the subdivider submits a complete application for a building permit during the periods of time specified in sub- paragraphs 1-3 above, the rights referred to herein shall con- tinue to exist until the expiration of such permit, or any ex- tension thereof. 16.24.100. Amendment to Vesting Tentative Map. Any time prior to the expiration of a vesting tentative map, the subdivider, or his or her assig- nee, may apply for an amendment to such map. A public hearing shall be held by the Planning Commission on any amendment involving a substantial modification to the subject subdivision or development related thereto. After such public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a recommenda- 704CP/ORD7.1-4 -3- Ordinance No. 203 tion to the City Council on the proposed amendment. The City Council, after a public hearing, may approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the proposed amendment. 16.24.110. Applications Inconsistent with Established Policies. Not- withstanding any provision of this chapter, a property owner or his or her designee may seek approvals or permits for development which depart from the ordinances , policies, and standards described in Section 16.24.090A, and the City may grant such approvals or issue such permits to the extent that the departures are authorized under applicable law. 16.24.120. Subsequent Permits, Licenses, and Other Entitlements for Use. The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to prevent the City from conditionally approving or denying any permit, license, or other entitlement for use which is applied for by the' subdivider after the appro- val of a vesting tentative map provided such conditional approval or denial is made in accordance with the ordinances, policies and standards described in Section 16.24.020A of this chapter.
