Gilroy Municipal Code § 21.83 Action on final map after certification by city engineer

After checking and certifying the correctness and completeness of the final map and its conformance with the approved tentative map, if required, the city engineer shall transmit the same to the city council, together with all other appurtenant and necessary information, including bonds. The city council, at its next regular meeting after receipt of such map, shall accept the bonds and approve the map if it is satisfied with the same, or it may order changes in the map as well as in the bonds and then approve the same when such changes are made, or it may refer the map back to the planning commission and the bonds back to the city engineer for further study, examination, revision and report, after which the map and bonds shall again be delivered to the council for final approval. After approval, the map shall then be transmitted to the county surveyor or county engineer for recording.

(a) The rights conferred by a vesting map, as provided under Chapter 4.5 (titled Development Rights) from the California Subdivision Map Act, shall be valid for a period of twelve (12) months beyond the recording of the final map. When more than one final map is being recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, the twelve (12) month time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that individual phase is recorded.

(b) The initial twelve (12) month time period shall be automatically extended by that amount of time that is used by the city for processing a completed application for either a grading permit or revised architectural and site review beyond thirty (30) days, from the date that an application is deemed complete.

(c) Prior to the expiration of the initial twelve (12) month time period, the subdivider may request from the planning commission a single twelve (12) month extension. The commission shall forward their recommendation to the city council, within fifteen (15) days, for their final review. The city council shall consider the report of the planning commission, but shall not be bound thereby.

(d) If a completed application for a building permit is submitted within the specified time periods, stated within subsections (a) and (b) above, the rights conferred by the vesting map shall continue until the expiration of the building permit, or any extensions of the permit allowed by City Code.
