Any disputes whether a development substantially complies with the approved or conditionally approved map, or with the ordinances, policies or standards described in this subsection, shall be resolved by the City Council. (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) the permit or entitlement for development may be conditionally approved or denied if at the time of the issuance of the permit approval or entitlement it is determined by the issuing authority or the City Council on appeal: (1) A failure to condition or deny the permit or entitlement would place the residents of the subdivision or of the immediate community or both in a condition dangerous to their health or safety or both; or (2) The condition or denial is required in order to comply with state or federal law. (c) The rights conferred by a vesting tentative map or the vesting tentative parcel map shall expire if: (1) A final map or parcel map is not approved prior to the expiration of the vesting tentative map or the vesting tentative parcel map. (2) The applicant has requested and the City has approved a change in the type, density, bulk or design of the development unless an amendment to the vesting tentative map or vesting tentative parcel map has been approved. (d) Upon the filing of a final map or parcel map for a vesting tentative map or vesting tentative parcel map the rights conferred by subsection (a) shall continue for one year. Where several final maps or parcel maps are recorded on various phases of a project convered by a single vesting tentative map or vesting tentative parcel map this period shall begin for each phase when the final map or parcel map for that phase is recorded. (e) The time period set forth in subsection (d) shall be automatically extended by any time used for processing a complete application for a grading permit or for design or architectural review, if such processing exceeds 30 days from the date a complete application is accepted. (f) A subdivider may file a request with the Director of Planning for a one year extension of the rights conferred by subsection (d) at any time before the time period set forth in subsection (d) expires. An extension may be granted only if the Council or Planning Commission, whichever was the approving body, finds that the map still complies with the requirements of this chapter. The Planning Commission or City Council may approve, conditionally approve or deny an extension in its sole discretion. The Planning Commission's decision shall not be appealable. Where the City Council is the approving body, it shall consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission. 4 (g) If the subdivider submits a complete application for a building permit during the periods of time set forth in subsections (d) through (f) the rights referred to therein shall continue until the expiration of that building permit or any extension of that permit. (h) Upon the expiration of the time limits specified in subsections (c) , (d) , (e) , (f) , or (g) all rights conferred by this section shall cease and the project shall be considered as the same as any subdivision which was not processed pursuant to this chapter. 17.40.050 Consistency with zoning and general plan. No vesting tentative map or vesting tentative parcel map shall be approved if the proposed map or the design or improvement of the proposed development are not consistent with the applicable general, specific or master plans or with the applicable provisions of Title 17.
