A. 
No final tract map or final parcel map shall be accepted for checking by the city engineer until the required checking fees have been paid and then only in the event that the final map substantially conforms to the tentative map and the conditions approved by the council, the planning commission, or other authorized review authority.
B. 
At the time of filing a final tract or parcel map, the applicant shall pay the following fees to the city engineer:
1. 
Engineering, plan checking, and Quimby Fees (as defined in section 4.10.030 of this code).
a. 
The engineering, plan checking, and Quimby Fees shall be established or modified by resolution, or ordinance of the city council.
b. 
The schedule for checking fees shall remain on file and be available in the office of the director of public works. The director of public works shall, with the approval of the city manager, recommend changes to the council when the cost to check final maps makes it appropriate.
C. 
Recording Fee Shall Be as Required by Law. Upon submission of a final tract map or final parcel map to the county engineer or city engineer for checking, the subdivider shall pay a map checking fee to the county engineer or city engineer in addition to all other fees and charges required by law.

(Ord. 5683 § 8, 2009; Ord. 5723 § 1, 2011)
A. 
Within 36 months after approval or conditional approval of the tentative map or maps, the subdivider may cause the subdivision or any part thereof to be surveyed and the final map to be prepared in accordance with the tentative map as approved or conditionally approved. Street right-of-way or easements needed for access to noncontiguous parts shall be provided on or with the final map. Upon application of the subdivider, an extension of a period or periods of time not exceeding a total of six years may be granted by the planning commission for a tentative tract map regarding a new condominium project or a condominium conversion project and by the council for a tentative tract map not related to a condominium project. Any failure to have a final map accepted by the city engineer within 36 months of conditional approval of the tentative map or any extension thereof granted by the planning commission or the council shall terminate all proceedings; provided, however, that in the case of a final map conforming to the approved tentative map and accepted by the city engineer before the date of expiration, the council may take subsequent action after the date of the expiration to cause the final map to be filed for record. Where proceedings have been terminated as a result of expiration, before a final map may thereafter be recorded, a new tentative map shall be filed.
B. 
In the event a lawsuit is filed and is pending in a court of competent jurisdiction involving approval or conditional approval of a tentative map, the subdivider may file a request for a stay of the time period set forth in subsection (A) of this section, within ten days (10) of the service of the lawsuit, initial petition or complaint upon the city. Upon receipt of such a request for a stay, within 40 days thereafter, council shall either stay the time period for final action on the tentative map for a period of time not to exceed five years, or deny the request for stay.
C. 
The period of time specified in subsection (A) of this section shall not include any period of time during which a development moratorium, imposed after approval of the tentative map, is in existence; provided, however, that the length of the moratorium does not exceed five years. A development moratorium shall include a water or sewer moratorium as well as other actions which regulate land use, development or the provision of services to the land enacted by a public agency other than the city, which thereafter prevents, prohibits or delays the approval of a final tract map. Once a moratorium is lifted, the map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time the moratorium was imposed. However, if the remaining time is less than 120 days, the map shall be valid for 120 days following the termination of the moratorium.
(Ord. 5683 § 8, 2009)
A. 
Within 36 months after the action of the planning commission approving or conditionally approving the application and tentative parcel map, unless the parcel map has been waived under the provisions of Section 16.24.150, the applicant shall cause a parcel map to be prepared showing each new parcel and showing that all conditions imposed have been fulfilled. Upon application filed prior to the expiration of the approval or conditional approval, the planning commission may grant an extension of time for a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years. Failure to file a parcel map within the 36 months or any extended period granted as herein provided and to have same recorded shall terminate and void all proceedings.
B. 
In the event a lawsuit is filed and is pending in a court of competent jurisdiction involving approval or conditional approval of a tentative parcel map, the subdivider may file a request for a stay of the time period set forth in subsection (A) of this section, within 10 days of the service of the lawsuit, initial petition or complaint upon the city. Upon receipt of such request for a stay, within 40 days thereafter, the planning commission shall either stay the time period for final action on the tentative parcel map for a period of time not to exceed five years, or deny the request for stay.
C. 
The period of time specified in subsection (A) of this section shall not include any period of time during which a development moratorium, imposed after approval of the tentative parcel map, is in existence; provided, however, that the length of the moratorium does not exceed five years. A development moratorium shall include a water or sewer moratorium as well as other actions which regulate land use, development or the provision of services to the land enacted by a public agency other than the city, which thereafter prevents, prohibits or delays the approval of a final parcel map. Once a moratorium is lifted, the map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time the moratorium was imposed. However, if the remaining time is less than 120 days, the map shall be valid for one hundred twenty days (120) following the termination of the moratorium.
D. 
Such time limits and extensions shall also apply to any tentative parcel map for which a certificate of compliance or a conditional certificate of compliance is required under the provisions of Section 16.24.150.
