AB 333 - New Tentative Map Extension Bill
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:22 pm
Curious to see what the oldest original approval date is for a tentative map that the private surveyors or County Surveyors are currently processing final/parcel maps on. A little background:
Currently, a tentative map that was approved in August of 1993 and recorded as phased final maps could be potentially extended for a period of 20 years as follows:
2 years Initial approval SMA 66452.6(a)1
8 years phased map extension SMA 66452.6(a)1
6 years Discretionary extensions SMA66452.6(e)
2 years Automatic special extension 9/13/1993 SMA 66452.11
1 year Automatic special extension 5/14/1996 SMA 66452.13
1 year Automatic special extension 7/15/2008 SMA 66452.21
20 years Total
If the approved vesting tentative map was involved in litigation (SMA 66452.6(c)) and/or qualified for a moratorium (SMA 66452.6(b)1); the above extension could last up to an additional 5 years for litigation and 5 additional years for a moratorium. With all of the existing extensions that the Subdivision Map Act authorizes, the map above approved in August 1993 could be potentially entitled until August 2023.
AB 333, recently introduced, proposes that the expiration date of any tentative or vesting tentative subdivision map or parcel map for which a tentative or vesting tentative map, as the case may be, which has been approved that has not expired on the date that the act that added Section 66452.21 (SB 1185, 7/15/2008) became effective and that will expire before January 1, 2016, shall be extended by 72 months.
This could permit a tentative map to be potentially extended up to 34 years beyond its initial approval.
