(1)

Review authority action.

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 described in Government Code Section 66474.2. However, if Section 66474.2 of the Government Code is repealed, the approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the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 in effect at the time the vesting tentative map is approved or conditionally approved.

b.

Notwithstanding paragraph (e)(1)a. above, a permit, approval, extension or entitlement may be made conditional or denied if any of the following are determined:

1.

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.

(2)

Time limits and extensions of time on vesting tentative maps.

If the change in the title is obtained, the approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative map shall, notwithstanding Section 9-7.302(e)(2)a.1. of this article, confer the vested right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with the change in this title and the map, as approved.

A parcel designated as "not a part" shall be deemed to be a "designated remainder" for purposes of this section. On and after January 1, 1987, no additional requirements shall be included that do not affect record title interests.

e.

Any public streets or public easements to be left in effect after the subdivision shall be adequately delineated on the map. The filing of the final map or parcel map shall constitute abandonment of all public streets and public easements not shown on the map, provided that a written notation of each abandonment is listed by reference to the recording data or other official record creating these public streets or public easements and certified to on the map by the clerk of the legislative body or the designee of the legislative body approving the map.
