The purpose of this Chapter is to establish procedures for the filing of Vesting Tentative Maps for residential subdivisions as required by Government Code Section 66498.8.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
(a) 
Whenever this title requires the filing of a tentative map, a developer subdividing land for residential development may instead apply for a Vesting Tentative Map.
(b) 
Approval or conditional approval of a Vesting Tentative Map shall confer only those rights mandated by Government Code Section 66498.1 or its successor.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
(a) 
The proposed subdivision design and improvements shall comply with the requirements of Chapters 19.16 through 19.24.
(b) 
Vesting Tentative Maps shall show all data required by Sections 19.40.030 or 19.48.020 as applicable.
(c) 
In addition to the foregoing, each Vesting Tentative Map submitted to the City shall be submitted concurrently with a complete application for a Planned Unit Development Permit.
(d) 
At the time a Vesting Tentative Map is filed it shall have printed conspicuously on its face the words “Vesting Tentative Map.”
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
A Vesting Tentative Map shall be processed in accordance with Chapters 19.40 or 19.48, as applicable, of this Code, except that in every case, a Vesting Tentative Map shall be processed concurrently with a Planned Unit Development Permit Application.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
No development approvals or permits that depart from applicable ordinances, policies or standards shall be granted in connection with a Vesting Tentative Map.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
(a) 
The Provisions of Chapters 19.44 or 19.48, as applicable, shall govern the life of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision or Vesting Tentative Parcel Map.
(b) 
Approval or conditional approval of an amendment to a Vesting Tentative Map shall not extend its life beyond the time period set forth in Subsection (a) above.
(c) 
Where several final maps or parcel maps are to be recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, all of said final maps or parcel maps must be recorded within the time period set forth in Chapters 19.44 or 19.48, as applicable, or the vesting tentative map approval shall expire for those parcels for which final maps or parcel maps are not recorded within said time period.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
(a) 
The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map shall last for a period of one year beyond the recording of the final or parcel map, as applicable.
(b) 
Where several final or parcel maps are recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, the one year time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded.
(c) 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the developer submits a complete application for a building permit during the period of time set forth in subsections (a) and (b) above, the rights conferred by this chapter shall continue, as to the parcel(s) covered by said building permit, until the expiration of that permit.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
Notwithstanding any provisions in this chapter to the contrary, the city may condition or deny a permit, approval, extension or entitlement if it determines any of the following:
(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.
(Ord. 993 § 18, 1985)
(a) 
Whenever this chapter is silent about standards, procedures or other matters relating to subdivision maps the provisions of this code applicable to those standards, procedures or other matters shall apply.
(b) 
Whenever this chapter conflicts with other provisions of this code, the provisions of this chapter shall apply.
