§ 1400-305. FILING SUBDIVISION MAP

Within 36 months after approval or conditional approval of the approved tentative map, a subdivider may cause his subdivision, or any part thereof, to be surveyed and a final map thereof prepared in conformance with the tentative map, including conformance with any conditions attached to such approval. However, if the subdivider is required to expend the amount of money set forth in Section 66452.6 of the Government Code to construct, improve, or finance the construction or improvement of public improvements outside the property boundaries of the tentative map, excluding improvements of public rights-of-way which abut the boundary of the property to be subdivided and which are reasonably related to the development of that property, each filing of a phase of a multiple final map shall extend the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map by 36 months from the date of its expiration, as provided in this section, or the date of the previously filed final map, whichever is later. The extensions shall not extend the tentative map more than ten years from its approval or conditional approval.

However, a tentative map on property subject to a development agreement authorized by Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 65864) of Chapter 4 of Division 1 of the Subdivision Map Act may be extended for the period of time provided for in the agreement, but not beyond the duration of the agreement. The number of phased final maps that may be filed shall be determined at the time of the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map. "Public improvements" as used in this section, include traffic controls, streets, roads, highways, freeways, bridges, overcrossings, street interchanges, flood control or storm drain facilities, sewer facilities, water facilities, and lighting facilities.

Upon application of the subdivider filed prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the time at which the map expires may be extended by the Planning Commission for a period or periods not exceeding a total of five years. Prior to the expiration of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map, upon an application by the subdivider to extend that map, the map shall automatically be extended for 60 days or until the application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied, whichever occurs first. The final map shall be filed with the Development Services Department Director in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter.

The extensions listed above shall be in addition to any tentative map extensions granted by the State Legislature and the specific requirements of those extensions.
