Overview
This bill changes the expiration timeline for tentative subdivision maps under California’s Subdivision Map Act. It extends the initial expiration period to eight years, but with some exceptions. Specifically, it removes the ability to extend approval by 48 months if the subdivider needs to pay significant costs for public improvements outside the property boundaries, and limits that 48-month extension to applications submitted before January 1, 2027. The bill also clarifies definitions related to public improvements and development moratoriums.
