A. Request by Subdivider. The subdivider may request an extension of the expiration date of the approved or conditionally approved tentative subdivision map by written application to the Planning Director. The application shall be filed before the map is to expire and shall state the reasons for requesting the extension. Upon such application by the subdivider, the map shall automatically be extended for 60 days or until the application for the time extension is approved, conditionally approved or denied, whichever comes first.

A copy of the department’s report shall be forwarded to the subdivider prior to the Planning Commission meeting on the extension. The Planning Commission may act to approve, conditionally approve or deny the extension. In acting on the request for extension, the Planning Commission may consider the project in relationship to current conditions, regulations and applicable laws.

C. Time Limit of Extensions. The time at which the tentative subdivision map expires may be extended by the Planning Commission for a period not exceeding a total of five years.

D. Appeal of Extension. The subdivider or any interested person adversely affected may appeal any action of the Planning Commission on the extension to the Board of Supervisors in accordance with SCC 20.05.130. (Formerly 23.06.019)
