Sec. C12-51. - Effective time of filing.

The effective time of filing a tentative map shall be construed to be the time at which the Planning Office formally determines the application is complete by written notification to the applicant. Prior to the formal completeness determination, the map received shall be examined to determine if it is complete, in full compliance with this chapter, as to form and content. If the tentative map application is incomplete, the Planning Office shall notify the applicant in writing within 30 calendar days from the day the application was originally submitted as to those parts which are incomplete and what must be done to complete the application. In the case of any tentative map which requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, no application shall be deemed filed, and the time periods specified in the Subdivision Map Act for action on the tentative map shall not commence, until the decision-maker certifies the environmental impact report, adopts a negative declaration, or determines the tentative map is exempt from the requirements of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
