A. The director, planning commission or city council shall hold a public hearing and approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the tentative map in writing, within the time frames established by Government Code Sections 66452.1 and 66452.2, which action shall then be reported to the subdivider or applicant in writing.

B. In addition, except for applications with a concurrent legislative action, the director, planning commission or city council, as applicable pursuant to Chapter 16.04, shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the tentative map application within the time frames set forth by the Permit Streamlining Act, including Government Code Sections 65950, 65950.1, 65951, and 65952.

C. The approval, conditional approval, or denial shall be based on the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect on the date of notification to the subdivider of the determination that the application is complete. If the city has initiated formal proceedings and published notice of an ordinance or resolution amending ordinances, policies, and standards applicable to the subdivider’s project prior to a complete application, the amended ordinances, policies, and standards in effect on the date of tentative map approval shall apply. If the subdivider requests changes in applicable ordinances, policies, and standards, and if they are adopted, the changes shall apply. (Ord. 1729 § 4 (Exh. A), 2023)
