Stats 2008, ch 124 (SB 1185; Lowenthal) Urgency legislation, effective July 15, 2008, affecting Govt C §§66452.6 and 66463.5 (amended), 66452.11 and 66452.12 (amended and renumbered), and 66452.21 (added).
The statute, which is effective immediately, extends by one year the life of existing tentative maps, vesting tentative maps, and parcel maps that were valid on July 15, 2008 and would otherwise expire before January 1, 2011. The statute also authorizes local governments in their discretion to approve an additional one-year extension of a tentative map, for a total period of six years. Administrative or other approvals issued by a state agency are automatically extended by one year, as well. The legislation does not extend the life of local agency approvals, such as design review, development permits, and conditional use permits. The extensions apply to maps for residential, mixed use, and commercial projects.
For detailed discussion of parcel maps and tentative maps, see California Subdivision Map Act and the Development Process (2d ed Cal CEB 2001) and California Land Use Practice (Cal CEB 2007).
