§ 4-4.601. Filing.

(a)

(1)

Filing Within Twenty-Four Months of Tentative Approval. The subdivider or his/her agent may file a final map within twenty-four (24) months after the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map. A map shall be deemed to be filed when it is accepted by the City as being in compliance with the provisions of this chapter and in substantial compliance with the tentative map. The twenty-four (24) month period shall not include any days during which the final map is being reviewed by the City. Upon application of the subdivider filed prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the Planning Commission may extend the time for filing a final map for a period or periods not exceeding three (3) years if it determines that conditions affecting the subdivision have not substantially changed. In any case where a final map has not been filed within twenty-four (24) months or such extended period of time as may be granted by the Planning Commission, approval of a new tentative map shall be required.

If a subdivider's application for an extension of time for filing a final map is denied by the Planning Commission, the subdivider may appeal to the City Council within fifteen (15) days after the Planning Commission has denied the time extension. The City Council shall hear such appeal in accordance with the provisions of Section 4-4.404(f) of this chapter. Effective until July 11, 2002 and after July 10, 2003.
