A. An approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall expire 24 months after its approval or conditional approval unless an extension is approved as provided in SMC 16.28.100. However, if a subdivider who is filing multiple final maps is made subject to a requirement to construct, improve or finance the construction or improvement of certain public improvements outside the boundaries of the tentative map, as set forth in Government Code Section 66452.6, or if the tentative map is on property subject to a development agreement authorized by Government Code Section 65864 et seq., then the expiration date shall be extended in accordance with Section 66452.6(a) of the State Subdivision Map Act. An extension to the expiration date may also be approved as provided in SMC 16.28.100.

B. The period of time specified in subsection A of this section shall not include any period of time during which a development moratorium is in effect as provided in Section 66452.6 of the State Subdivision Map Act.

C. The period of time specified in subsection A of this section shall not include any period of time during which a lawsuit has been filed and is pending in a court of competent jurisdiction involving the approval or conditional approval of a tentative map only if a stay of the time period is approved by the Planning Commission, as provided in Section 66452.6 of the State Subdivision Map Act.

D. The expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall terminate all proceedings, and no final map on all or any portion of the real property included within an expired tentative map shall be filed without first processing a new tentative map.
