A.
A vesting
tentative map for residential, commercial or industrial development
may be filed with the planning commission instead of a tentative map
otherwise required by this chapter. The filing and departmental approval,
form, and actions pertaining to a vesting tentative map shall be the
same as required by this title for other tentative maps, except that
the words "vesting tentative map" shall be printed conspicuously on
the face of the map.
B.
In
addition to submitting all information required for a tentative map,
the following information may also be required with submittal of a
vesting tentative map:
(Ord. CS 179 §1, 1986)
Planning commission or board of supervisors 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 application for the
vesting tentative map is complete and accepted consistent with Government
Code Section 66474.2 and as amended or repealed. The rights conferred
by this section shall expire if a final map is not approved by the
board of supervisors prior to expiration of the vesting tentative
map.
(Ord. CS 179 §1, 1986)
The development rights conferred by a vesting tentative map
shall remain in effect for two years after the recording of a final
map. When multiple final maps are recorded on various phases of a
project covered by a single vesting tentative map, the two-year time
period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase
is recorded. At any time prior to the expiration of the two-year time
period provided by this section, the subdivider may apply to the planning
commission for a one-year extension. If the extension is denied by
the planning commission, the subdivider may appeal that denial to
the board of supervisors within fifteen days. The time limits and
extensions thereof for filing a final map, based on an approved vesting
tentative map, shall be the same as for other tentative maps. If the
subdivider submits a complete application for a building permit during
the initial time period or any approved extension thereof, the rights
conferred by a vesting tentative map shall continue until the expiration
of that permit.
(Ord. CS 179 §1, 1986; Ord. CS 412 §1, 1990; Ord. CS 470, 1992)
Minor amendments to the vesting tentative map may be approved
by the director of planning and community development when it is determined
that the proposed changes substantially conform to the approved vesting
tentative map. At any time prior to the expiration of the vesting
tentative map, the subdivider may apply to the planning commission
for an amendment to the map when such amendment does not substantially
conform to the previously approved vesting tentative map. If the requested
amendment is approved by the planning commission, the development
rights conferred by the vesting tentative map shall allow development
in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards
in effect at the time the application for an amendment to the vesting
tentative map is complete and accepted consistent with Government
Code Section 66474.2 and as amended or repealed. The time limits for
filing a final map or maps based on an amended vesting tentative map
shall begin on the date such amendment is approved.
(Ord. CS 179 §1, 1986)
If a subdivider files a vesting tentative map for a subdivision
whose intended development is inconsistent with the zoning of the
property in effect at the time the vesting tentative map is filed,
that inconsistency shall be noted on the map. The planning commission
may deny such vesting tentative map or approve it conditioned on the
subdivider obtaining the necessary change in zoning to eliminate the
inconsistency. If the change in zoning is obtained, the approved or
conditionally approved vesting tentative map shall confer the vested
right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with
the change in zoning and the map as approved.
(Ord. CS 179 §1, 1986)
