§ 16.28.060

After approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map, amendments can be made only by following procedures for the original approval or conditional approval. Approvals or permits which depart from the vesting tentative map may only be granted based upon an amendment to the vesting tentative map, as approved by the city council. No amendments shall be granted so as to modify or delete any public improvements and site development requirements and conditions approved in the first instance, including, but not limited to, grading, drainage facilities and structures. This section shall not be construed to prevent the city from denying or placing any conditions upon approval of a final map pursuant to Section 66498.1(c) of the Subdivision Map Act.

• (Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)

• A. The approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall expire at the end of the same time period established by this title for the expiration of the approval or conditional approval of a tentative map, including opportunities for extensions.

• B. The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map shall last for an initial time period of one year beyond the recordation of the final map. Developers may apply for a one year extension of this initial period, as set forth in subsection D of this section. Where several final maps are recorded in various phases of a project covered by a single vesting tentative map, this initial time period shall begin for each phase when the final map for that phase is recorded.

• C. The initial time period set forth in subsection B of this section shall be automatically extended by any time used for processing a complete application for a grading permit or for design or architectural review, if such processing exceeds 30 days, from the date a complete application is filed.

• D. A subdivider may apply to the city council for a maximum one year extension at any time before the initial time period set forth in subsection B of this section expires. The city council shall be the approving authority for extensions of vesting tentative maps.

• (Ord. 334 § 1 Exh. A, 2006)

• A. The applicable fees associated with a development and a vesting tentative map therefor shall be paid at the rate governing at the time the various applications, filings, plan checks and permits are made.

• B. In addition to any other fees associated with a development, there shall be paid to the city a fee as established from time to time by resolution of the city council, to reimburse the city for the filing and processing of a vesting tentative map application.
