Lincoln Municipal Code Ch. 17.18 Vesting Tentative Maps

This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 66498.1 of the Government Code of the State of California) (the "Vesting Tentative Map Statute"). The purpose of this chapter is to establish appropriate local procedures for the implementation of the Vesting Tentative Map Statute.

To accomplish this purpose, the regulations contained 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. 644B §1(part), 1997)

No land shall be approved and developed pursuant to a vesting tentative map for any purpose which is inconsistent with the general plan or any applicable specific plan or which is not permitted by Title 18 (Zoning) or any other applicable provisions of this code. A subdivider may file an application for a vesting tentative map for a subdivision which is inconsistent with the general plan and a specific plan if said application is accompanied with an application to amend the general plan and/or specific plan that would eliminate the inconsistency.

(Ord. 644B §1(part), 1997)

A "vesting tentative map" means a tentative map for a subdivision that shall have printed conspicuously on its face the words "vesting tentative map" at the time it is filed in accordance with Section 17.18.040 and is thereafter processed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(Ord. 644B §1(part), 1997)

A vesting tentative map shall be filed in the same form and have the same contents, accompanying data and reports and shall be processed in the same manner as set forth in the Lincoln Municipal Code for a tentative map except as hereinafter provided in this chapter.

At the time a vesting tentative map is filed the subdivider shall also supply the following information:

(1) Preliminary utility, sewer, water, storm drain and road plans;

(2) Preliminary grading plans;

(3) Information on the uses to which the parcels will be put;

(4) Traffic circulation and impact;

(5) Flood control and impact;

(6) Information as specified in Government Code Sections 6596.5(d), (f) and 65850.2;

(7) Any other matters deemed necessary by the director of community development.

(Ord. 644B §1(part), 1997)

Upon filing a vesting tentative map the subdivider shall pay fees required by either city ordinance or resolution for filing and processing of a tentative map.

(Ord. 644B §1(part), 1997)

The approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall expire at the end of the same time period, and shall be subject to the same extensions, established by the Lincoln Municipal Code for the expiration of the approval or conditional approval of a tentative map and those provisions for expiration and extension set forth in Government Code Section 66452.6.

(Ord. 644B §1(part), 1997)

(a) The approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall confer the rights as provided for in Government Code Section 66498.1. These rights shall apply to residential, commercial and industrial parcels.

(b) The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map shall continue for a two-year period after the recording of the final map. Where several final maps are recorded on various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, the two-year initial time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded. All of said final maps must be recorded within the time period set forth in Section 17.18.060 or the vesting tentative map approval shall expire for those maps for which final maps are not timely recorded.

(c) The two-year initial time period set forth in subsection B of this section shall be automatically extended for any time used for processing a complete application for a grading permit, if one is required, or for any required design or architectural review, if such processing exceeds 30 days from the date a complete application is filed.

(d) A subdivider may apply for a one-year extension at any time before the expiration of the initial two-year time period.
