(c)
If any person, officer, department, municipality, district or agency does not report to the Subdivision Committee, in writing within fifteen (15) days after the check map has been delivered or placed in the mail directed to the designated address and bearing the proper postage, such check map shall be deemed to be approved by that person, officer, department, municipality, district or agency.
(d)
When the Subdivision Committee has determined that a proposed tentative map complies with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, except as otherwise provided herein, the map shall be approved for filing. A meeting shall be held for such determination within twenty-two (22) days from the date the check map is submitted to the Subdivision Committee. Said meeting shall be properly noticed as required by Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091. The filing of a tentative map shall include the appropriate number of copies of the map as specified by the City Manager, together with any required accompanying material and the filing fee.
(e)
The Subdivision Committee shall prepare and deliver a report to the City Council for each tentative map. Any reports or recommendations on the tentative map that are submitted to the City Council shall also be submitted, in writing, to the subdivider at least three (3) days prior to action on the map by the City Council.

(f)
Report(s) to Subdivider. Any report or recommendation on a tentative map by the staff to the City Council shall be in writing, and a copy thereof shall be served on the subdivider at least three (3) days prior to any hearing or action on the map by the Council. This requirement shall be deemed to have been complied with when the report has been placed in the mail directed to the subdivider at his designated address and bearing the proper postage.

Submittal of Tentative Map to Certain Local Agencies for Recommendation. Within five (5) days after a tentative map is approved for filing, the Subdivision Committee shall transmit a copy of said map to each local agency which has made request to the City to receive such maps pursuant to Government Code Section 66453.

Any local agency receiving such map shall make its recommendation to the City within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such map by written communication directed to the Subdivision Committee.
Within ten (10) days after a tentative map is approved for filing, the Subdivision Committee shall transmit a notice of the filing of said map to the governing board of any elementary school, high school or unified school district within the boundaries of which the subdivision is proposed to be located. Such notice shall also contain information about the location of the proposed subdivision, the number of units, density, and any other information which would be relevant to the affected school district.

If a written report is made by the governing board, such report shall be returned within twenty (20) working days of the date on which the notice was mailed to the school district for comment. In the event that the governing board of any such district fails to respond within the twentyday period, such failure to respond shall be deemed approval of the proposed subdivision.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (g), the Subdivision Committee shall not be required to submit the tentative map to any local agency which consents to reviewing the check map instead, provided that the tentative map is in substantial conformity with the check map or the tentative map has been revised to incorporate the recommendations of the affected local agency on the check map.
Council Procedure; Time Limits. At the next regular Council meeting following the filing of the Subdivision Committee's recommendation and report with it, the Council shall fix the meeting date at which the tentative map will be considered by it, which date shall be within thirty (30) days thereafter, and the Council shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map within such thirty-day period; provided, however, that such time limits may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the City Council. Said meeting shall be properly noticed as required by Government Code Sections 66451.3, 65090 and 65091. If no action is taken upon a tentative map by the Council within the time limits specified in this Chapter or any authorized extension thereof, the tentative map as filed shall be deemed to be approved insofar as it complies with other applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, this Chapter, and any other ordinance applicable thereto; and the City Clerk shall certify such approval.
- If no action is taken upon a tentative map by the Council within the time limits specified in this Chapter or any authorized extension thereof, the tentative map as filed shall be deemed to be approved insofar as it complies with other applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, this Chapter, and any other ordinance applicable thereto; and the City Clerk shall certify such approval.
The action of the City Council may include conditional approval of a tentative map not in compliance with existing regulations provided that said map complies with the zoning regulations adopted by ordinances by the City Council but not yet effective, or subject to the approval of a variance. Such action shall include a condition that the final map of the subject parcel of land shall not be recorded until the appropriate zoning regulations have become effective or the variance is approved.
The Council shall consider all relevant information, including, without limitation, the Subdivision Committee report and recommendations, and recommendations of all local agencies timely received, before final action is taken on the tentative map.
3.
Council Procedure; Vesting Tentative Maps. In accordance with the provisions of Government Code Section 66498.1(b), when the City Council approves or conditionally approves a vesting tentative map, that approval shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with ordinances, policies and standards described in Government Code Section 66474.2. However, if Section 66474.2 is repealed, that approval shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the time the vesting tentative map is approved or conditionally approved.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council may condition or deny a permit, an approval, extension or entitlement if it determines any of the following:
(a)
A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both;
(b)
The condition or denial is required in order to comply with State or Federal law.
4.
Vesting Tentative Map; Inconsistent With Zoning. Where a subdivider files a vesting tentative map for a subdivision whose intended development is inconsistent with the zoning ordinance in existence at that time, that inconsistency shall be noted on the map. The City Council may deny such a vesting tentative
map or approve it conditioned on the subdivider, or his or her designee, obtaining the necessary change in the zoning ordinance to eliminate the inconsistency. If the change in the ordinance is obtained, the approved or conditionally approved vesting tentative map shall, notwithstanding Section 66498.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, confer the vested right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with the change in the zoning ordinance and map, as approved.
The rights conferred by this subsection shall be for the time periods hereinafter set forth in paragraphs f. and g.
5.
Withdrawal of Tentative Maps. Any subdivider or record owner of property upon which a tentative map has been filed may withdraw such map at any time prior to final action thereon by the City Council. Notice of withdrawal shall be made in writing to the City Manager and either the Subdivision Committee or Council, whichever has the matter pending for review. Upon receipt of such notice, the City Manager shall notify each person, officer, department, municipality, district or agency from which a report was requested when the tentative map was filed. Upon the completion of such notification, the tentative map shall have been officially withdrawn.
