§ 18.04

This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 66498.1) of Division 2 of Title 7 of the Government Code of the state of California (hereinafter referred to as the vesting tentative map statute), and may be cited as the vesting tentative map ordinance.

(Ord. 381 §1(part), 1986).

It is the purpose of this chapter to establish procedures necessary for the implementation of the vesting tentative map statute, and to supplement the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the subdivision ordinance. Except as otherwise set forth in the provisions of this chapter, the provisions of the subdivision ordinance shall apply to the vesting tentative map ordinance.

To accomplish this purpose, the regulations outlined in this chapter are determined to be necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare, and for the promotion of orderly growth and development.

(Ord. 381 §1(part), 1986).

No land shall be subdivided and developed pursuant to a vesting tentative map for any purpose which is inconsistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan or not permitted by the zoning ordinance or other applicable provisions of the municipal code.

(Ord. 381 §1(part), 1986).

(a)

A "vesting tentative map" means a "tentative map" for a residential subdivision, as defined in the subdivision ordinance, that shall have printed conspicuously on its face the words "Vesting Tentative Map"

at the time it is filed in accordance with Section 18.14.060, and is thereafter processed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b)

All other definitions set forth in the subdivision ordinance are applicable.

(Ord. 381 §1(part), 1986).

(a)

This chapter shall apply only to residential developments. Whenever a provision of the subdivision map act, as implemented and supplemented by the subdivision ordinance, requires the filing of a tentative map or tentative parcel map for a residential development, a vesting tentative map may instead be filed, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b)

If a subdivider does not seek the rights conferred by the vesting tentative map statute, the filing of a vesting tentative map shall not be a prerequisite to any approval for any proposed subdivision, permit for construction, or work preparatory to construction.

(Ord. 381 §1(part), 1986).
