Recommendation of the Hearing Officer: The subject tentative map was approved on November 5, 2014 by the Subdivision Hearing Officer, to be recorded within three years. In 2008, the State passed Senate Bill 1185, which automatically granted a one-year extension to all approved tentative maps. In 2013, the State passed Assembly Bill 116, which allows all tentative maps with an expiration date prior to January 1, 2016, to be automatically extended by 24 months. The 24-month extension is in addition to the one-year extension granted by Senate Bill 1185. Therefore, the amended expiration date of this Final Tract Map is November 5, 2020.

In 2013, the State passed Assembly Bill 116, which allows all tentative maps with an expiration date prior to January 1, 2016, to be automatically extended by 24 months.
