This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 66498.1) of Division 2 of Title 7 of the Government Code of the State of California, hereafter referred to as the "Vesting Tentative Map Statute."
(Ord. 2549 § 1, 1986)
(A) 
A "vesting tentative map" means 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 19-69.060, and is thereafter processed in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(1) 
For the purposes of this chapter, a "residential subdivision" is a subdivision which creates lots on which dwelling unit(s) are the only principal permitted use authorized and permitted under the zoning designation applicable to the lots within the subdivision.
(B) 
A "vesting tentative map" shall be a "tentative map" which, upon approval or conditional approval and within the time periods set forth in Section 19-69.110C, shall confer certain vested development rights, as set forth in Section 19-69.110A and B, to the development which is the subject of the vesting tentative map.
(C) 
All other definitions set forth in Chapters 19-04 through 19-68 are applicable to this chapter.
(Ord. 2549 § 1, 1986)
It is the purpose of this chapter to establish procedures necessary for the implementation of the Vesting Tentative Map Statute, and to supplement the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this title. Except as otherwise set forth in the provisions of this chapter, the provisions of Chapters 19-04 through 19-68 apply to vesting tentative maps.
To accomplish this purpose, the regulations set forth in this chapter are determined to be necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare, and for the promotion of orderly growth and development.
(Ord. 2549 § 1, 1986)
No land shall be subdivided and developed pursuant to a vesting tentative map for any purpose which is inconsistent with the City's general plan and any applicable specific plan or not permitted by the zoning code or other applicable provisions of this code.
(Ord. 2549 § 1, 1986)
(A) 
This chapter shall apply only to residential developments. Whenever a provision of the Subdivision Map Act, as implemented and supplemented by this title, requires the filing of a tentative map or tentative parcel map for a residential development, a vesting tentative map may instead be filed, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(1) 
This chapter provides an alternative procedure for the filing of maps for residential subdivisions. Nothing contained in this chapter shall limit a subdivider's right to file a regular tentative map or tentative parcel map pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 19-04 through 19-68.
(B) 
If a subdivider does not seek the rights conferred by the Vesting Tentative Map Statute, 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.
