a.

Subdivision committee. Within fifty (50) days after the required number of copies of the tentative map have been filed, the subdivision committee shall review and consider the tentative map. The fifty (50) day time period specified shall commence after certification of the environmental report, adoption of a negative declaration or a determination by the city that the project is exempted from the requirement of Division 13 of the State Public Resources Code. After giving due consideration to the tentative map, any supporting materials or comments submitted by the subdivider and any relevant staff reports, comments and recommendations, the subdivision committee shall either recommend approval, conditional approval or disapproval of said tentative map to the city council. The recommendation of the subdivision committee regarding said tentative map shall take the form of a written report based upon the findings in Article II of this Chapter. Unless the time limit hereinafter mentioned has been extended by the mutual consent of the subdivider and the subdivision committee, said written report shall be transmitted by the subdivision committee to the city council within fifty (50) days after the tentative map has been filed, and a copy of said written report shall be provided to the subdivider.

b.

Fixing of hearing date before the city council and notice thereof. At the next regular meeting of the city council following receipt of the subdivision committee's report, the city council shall fix a meeting date, at which it will consider said tentative map, which meeting date shall be within thirty (30) days thereafter. The thirty (30) day time period specified shall commence after certification of the environmental report, adoptions of a negative declaration or a determination by city that the project is exempted from the requirements of Division 13 of the State Public Resources Code. Notice of the time and place of said council meeting, including a general description of the location of the subdivision or proposed subdivision, shall be given at least fourteen (14) days before the meeting. Such notice shall be given by publication once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the city or, if there is none, by posting the notice in at least three (3) public places in the city or by publication in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the County of Santa Clara and circulated in the city.

2.

Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude the city from providing additional notice by other means, nor shall the requirements of this Section preclude the city from providing the necessary notice at the same time and in the same manner as public notice otherwise required by law for such project.

c.

Consideration by the city council. On the date set by the city council for consideration of the tentative map, or on such other date as the city council may continue the matter, the city council shall either approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map. If no action is taken by the city council within thirty (30) days after the date the city council fixes a meeting date to consider said tentative map, the tentative map, as filed, shall be deemed to be approved, insofar as it complies with other applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and of this Chapter, unless the said time limit has been extended by the mutual consent of the subdivider and the city council.

d.

Notification. The city council shall notify the subdivider in writing of the action taken. In the event of a conditional approval, the subdivider shall be advised of the conditions which are attached to the said approval.

e.

Expiration. An approved tentative map shall expire twenty-four (24) months after its approval unless the expiration date is extended per Article XIV of this Chapter.
