A.
The
purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures for the implementation
of the vesting tentative map statute.
B.
Any
person requesting approval of a vesting tentative map pursuant to
the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act shall comply with and be
subject to the applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and
this title as it specifically applies to tentative maps, and shall
also comply with and be subject to the additional provisions of this
title. At the time a vesting tentative map is filed it shall have
printed conspicuously on its face the words "Vesting Tentative Map."
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A,
2006)
In residential zones other than RPD (residential planned development),
additional submittals similar to those required in the RPD zone may
be required, depending upon the size, location, terrain and other
factors as determined by the community development director. The application
shall not be deemed complete until all such submittals have been received.
The submittals include, but may not be limited to, any or all of those
listed in this section:
A.
Grading
and drainage plans;
B.
Traffic
analysis;
C.
Height,
size and location of buildings;
D.

(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A,
2006)
A.
The
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 as described in Section
66474.2 of the Subdivision Map Act, or if that section is repealed,
as described in Section 66498.1(b).
B.
An
approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative map shall not
limit the city from imposing reasonable conditions in required approvals
or permits necessary for the development.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A,
2006)
After approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative
map, amendments can be made only by following procedures for the original
approval or conditional approval. Approvals or permits which depart
from the vesting tentative map may only be granted based upon an amendment
to the vesting tentative map, as approved by the city council. No
amendments shall be granted so as to modify or delete any public improvements
and site development requirements and conditions approved in the first
instance, including, but not limited to, grading, drainage facilities
and structures. This section shall not be construed to prevent the
city from denying or placing any conditions upon approval of a final
map pursuant to Section 66498.1(c) of the Subdivision Map Act.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A,
2006)
A.
The
approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall
expire at the end of the same time period established by this title
for the expiration of the approval or conditional approval of a tentative
map, including opportunities for extensions.
B.
The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map shall last for an initial time period of one year beyond the recordation of the final map. Developers may apply for a one year extension of this initial period, as set forth in subsection D of this section. Where several final maps are recorded in various 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.
(Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A,
2006)
A.
The
applicable fees associated with a development and a vesting tentative
map therefor shall be paid at the rate governing at the time the various
applications, filings, plan checks and permits are made.
B.
In
addition to any other fees associated with a development, there shall
be paid to the city a fee as established from time to time by resolution
of the city council, to reimburse the city for the filing and processing
of a vesting tentative map application.
