Santa Clara County Municipal Code Part 6 Final Maps

After the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, the subdivider may cause the real property included within the map, or any part thereof, to be surveyed and a final map thereof prepared in accordance with the approved or conditionally approved tentative map.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

A final map conforming to the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, if any, shall be filed with the County Surveyor prior to the expiration of the tentative map, after all required certificates on such map have been signed, and where necessary, acknowledged.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

In order that the final map may be adequately checked and scheduled for final approval by the Board prior to the expiration date of the tentative map, it shall be filed with the County Surveyor not less than nine weeks prior to said expiration date. All conditions imposed by this chapter and the tentative map approval, which in any way may inhibit the checking of said map, shall be met prior to its submittal. All conditions imposed by this chapter and the tentative map approval shall be met within four weeks of the tentative map expiration date.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

If the subdivision lies partially within a city and the unincorporated territory, the map shall be filed with both the city and the County, and each shall act thereon.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

(a) Board action on final map. The Board shall, within a period of ten days after the final map is filed with its Clerk, or at its next regular meeting after the meeting at which it receives the map, whichever is later, approve the map if it conforms to all the requirements of this chapter, applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any rulings made thereunder, or if it does not so conform, disapprove the map.

(b) Failure of Board to act. If the Board does not approve or disapprove the map within the prescribed time, or any authorized extension thereof, and the map conforms to all said requirements and rulings, it shall be deemed approved, and the Clerk of the Board shall certify its approval thereon.

(Ord. No. NS-203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

If, at the time of approval of the final map by the Board, any public improvements required by the County have not been completed and accepted, the Board, as a condition precedent to the approval of the final map, shall require the subdivider to enter into an agreement with the County to thereafter complete such improvements at the subdivider's expense pursuant to this chapter.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)

This provision shall apply only one time, at the time of the initial complete submittal to the County Surveyor's office for map and plan check if:

(1) An extension of time has been granted in accordance with Section C12-79.

(2) The filing is in accordance with the provisions of Section C12-85, or is in the County Surveyor's office at the time of adoption of this section, or is submitted to the County Surveyor's office within nine weeks after the adoption of this section.

(3) The County Surveyor shall determine if there has been a complete submittal in accordance with these provisions and all other applicable regulations.

In all cases which meet these requirements, the time remaining prior to expiration on the tentative map shall be stayed until the County Surveyor has had an opportunity to check the map and plans in the accordance with applicable procedures. Once the County Surveyor has completed his map and plan check, the remaining time left on the map immediately recommences to run.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.97, § 2, 4-18-89)
