Porterville Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-09 · Porterville

A. Expiration. When a timely filing is made prior to expiration, subsequent actions of the City Council or Parcel Map Committee, as appropriate, including, but not limited to, processing, approval, and recordation, may lawfully occur after the date of expiration of the tentative map. Delivery to the City Engineer shall be deemed a timely filing for purposes of this section. The effective life of an approved tentative parcel map or tentative subdivision map shall comply with the provisions of Section 66463.5 and 66452.6 of the Map Act, respectively. The expiration of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall terminate all proceedings and no final map or parcel map of all or any portion of the real property included within the tentative map shall be filed with the City Council or Parcel Map Committee, as appropriate, without first processing a new tentative map.

B. Extension. Extensions for tentative parcel maps and tentative subdivision maps may be granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 66463.5 and 66452.6 of the Map Act, respectively. Upon application of the subdivider, prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the time at which the map expires may be extended by the Parcel Map Committee or by the City Council.

  1. Request for Extension. Prior to the expiration of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map, upon receipt of a written application by the subdivider to extend that map, the map shall automatically be extended for sixty (60) days or until the application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied, whichever occurs first. A written application to extend an approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator prior to expiration of the tentative map, who shall forward such to the City Council or Parcel Map Committee, as appropriate. If the Parcel Map Committee denies a subdivider’s application for an extension, the subdivider may appeal, in writing, to the City Council within ten (10) days after the Parcel Map Committee has denied the extension.

  2. Consideration of Extension Request. Consideration of an application for an extension of time shall be limited to the mandatory findings of significance contained in the original Parcel Map Committee conditions or City Council resolution which approved or conditionally approved the tentative map. If it can be reasonably demonstrated that any one (1) of the original mandatory findings of significance used to justify approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, as specified in the original resolution has changed to the extent it can be considered a cause for denial, then such request for extension may be denied.

If it can be reasonably demonstrated that any one (1) of the original mandatory findings of significance used to justify approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, as specified in the original resolution has changed to the extent it can be considered a cause for denial, then such request for extension may be denied.

  1. Companion Permits. When a tentative map is approved or conditionally approved in conjunction with a Conditional Use Permit or other discretionary permit, such permit shall expire at the same time as the tentative map unless the permit states a different expiration date approved by the City Council. Extensions of time of tentative maps approved with companion Conditional Use Permits or other discretionary permits may also include extensions of time for such companion permits to exceed the maximum appropriate time limit permitted by this section.
