20-67 - Expiration of time.

(a)

The approval or conditional approval of a tentative subdivision map shall be valid for twenty-four (24) months, within which time the final map may be presented to the board of supervisors for acceptance and recordation. The twenty-four-month period shall not include any time during which a water or sewer moratorium, imposed after approval of the tentative map, is in existence, provided the length of such moratorium does not exceed five (5) years.

(b)

Once such a moratorium is terminated, the map shall be valid for the same period of time that was left to run on the map at the time the moratorium was imposed; provided, however, that if such remaining time is less than one hundred twenty (120) days, the map shall be valid for one hundred twenty (120) days following the termination of the moratorium.

(c)

The expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall terminate all proceedings, and no final map of all or any portion of the real property included within such tentative map shall be filed without first processing a new tentative map.

(d)

If a decision by the advisory agency is appealed to the board of supervisors within ten (10) days of the advisory agency action, the time limit to file the final map shall commence from the date of the board of supervisors' action on the appeal.

(e)

If a decision by the advisory agency is appealed to the board of supervisors after the ten-day appeal period as permitted in section 20-66(c), the time limit to file the final map shall commence from the date of advisory agency action.

(a)

The period of time specified in section 20-67 shall not include any period of time during which a lawsuit has been filed and is pending in a court of competent jurisdiction involving the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map if a stay of such time period is approved by the board of supervisors. Within ten (10) days of the service of the initial petition or complaint in such lawsuit upon the county, the subdivider may apply to the board of supervisors for such stay of time. Within forty (40) days after receiving the application from the subdivider, the board of supervisors shall either stay the time period specified in section 20-67 or deny the request for stay of time. The board of supervisors may stay the time period specified in section 20-67 for five (5) years or until the lawsuit is resolved, whichever occurs first.

(b)

This section may be applied to tentative maps approved or conditionally approved prior to the effective date of this section if the subdivider makes application for a stay to the board of supervisors within sixty (60) days after the effective date of this section.
