The sub- division conforms to the City's General Plan and Development Code, including the zoning and subdivision regulations without Inaccordance with the City's Subdivision Regulations and the State Subdivision Map Act, the approval of a tentative map is valid for two years, in which time the map is to be recorded with the County Registrar Recorder, unless the approval is extended. Tentative maps may be granted multiple extensions, but each extension shall be for no more than one year and the sum of such extensions shall not exceed three years. At the August 21, 2018 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18-22 granting a one-year extension of the tentative tract map. Now the owner is requesting a second one- year extension due to the extended time it took to have the final map approved by the various agencies, signed by the owner's lender who is based overseas, and to produce the funds needed to proceed with the public improvements that are to be completed prior to thet filing of the final map. Inc conjunction with the tentative parcel map, the applicant had submitted three architectural reviews for three new residences that were intended to be developed on the three lots. These design reviews were approved, but due to changes in economic conditions, the applicant decided not to proceed with the plans. Completing the subdivision, however, will be advantageous for the owner as the three lots could be sold any variances or exceptions.
