§ 25-20. Limitation of approval.

The approval or conditional approval of a tentative parcel map or tentative map or a lot line adjustment shall be valid for a period of 24 months after the date upon which the director of public works, planning director, or the city council, whichever is applicable, granted approval or conditional approval of the division or lot line adjustment. During this time, the owner or applicant may cause the parcel or parcels to be surveyed and a final map to be prepared and submitted to the director of public works for approval and subsequent recordation. Upon written application, filed with the director of public works within the 24 month period following approval or conditional approval of the lot division, extensions beyond the twenty-four-month period may be granted by the city council in the case of lot divisions, and by the director of public works in the case of lot line adjustments. The sum of all such extensions granted shall not exceed a total of 12 months. If the request for extension for lot line adjustment is denied, then the applicant or owner may appeal to the city council in the same manner as outlined in section 25-10(b) of this chapter. The decision of the city council concerning any extension in the case of lot divisions shall be final. At the time any tentative parcel map is extended, the city council or the director of public works, whichever is applicable, may add any new conditions as they see fit as a condition of the extension of the tentative map approval period, subject to appeal city council, in the case of a lot line adjustments.
