Continue the public hearing to April 24, 1995, at 7:00 p.m. 5) FINANCIAL STATEMENT: This item would have no fiscal impacts. BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted Ordinance 1-91 on January 14, 1991, enacting the Subdivision Ordinance. Section 9.40.030, Application, of Title 9, Subdivisions, of the Municipal Code as adopted states that Vesting Tentative Maps shall be allowed only for residential developments. Vesting Tentative Maps, when they are approved, lock-in a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time of approval for a period of one year after the date of the recordation of the final map. This protects the subidivider from changes to those ordinances, policies and standards for a period of time. Section 66498.7 of the Government Code states in part that after January 1, 1988, subdivision ordinances may differentiate between residential and non- residential developments in prescribing the initial time period after which the rights conferred by a vesting tentative map shall expire. The City may therefore amend the ordinance to approve Vesting Tentative Maps for non-residential developments. It is recommended that the ordinance be changed to give non-residential developers the same vesting protection that residential developers may enjoy. The changes necessary to Section 9.40.30, Application, would be as follows: "A. Vesting tentative maps shall be allowed effly for residential and non- residential developments. Whenever a provision of the Subdivision Map Act, as implemented and supplemented by this title, requires the filing of a tentative map or tentative parcel map for a residential or non-residential development, a vesting tentative map may instead be filed, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. " Staff recommends that the City Council revise the Municipal Code to permit Vesting Tentative Maps for residential and non-residential developments. ---------------..---..-- -------~-------------.._----_...-----------~------------- ..
