LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 763, as amended, Walters. Land use: subdivision maps.
(1) The Subdivision Map Act establishes a statewide regulatory
framework for controlling the subdividing of land. It generally
requires a subdivider to submit, and have approved by the city,
county, or city and county in which the land is situated a tentative
or vesting tentative map, which confers a vested right to proceed
with development in substantial compliance with specified ordinances,
policies, and standards. The act provides for the expiration of
tentative or vesting tentative maps, after specified periods of time
, and specifically extends by 12 months the expiration date
of any tentative or vesting tentative map or parcel map for which a
tentative or vesting tentative map has been approved that had not
expired on May 15, 1996. This extension is in addition to any other
extension of the expiration date provided for in specified provisions
of the act. Any legislative, administrative, or other approval by
any local agency, state agency, or other political subdivision of the
state that pertains to a development project included in a map that
is extended is to be extended by 12 months under specified conditions
.
This bill would extend the applicable expiration date to
24 months, as specified by 12 months for any
vesting tentative subdivision or parcel map , in
addition to a tentative map, generally that has been
approved , that has not expired on the date the bill is
effective, and that will expire before January 1, 2012 . By
adding to the procedures officials in counties, cities, and cities
and counties must follow, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
(2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
(2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
(3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
