APPROVAL OF FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 072778 FOR CONSOLIDATION OF TWO LOTS INTO
ONE LOT AND CREATION OF 30 AIR PARCELS FOR RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM PURPOSES
AT 135-145 SOUTH WILSON AVENUE

Recommendation of the Hearing Officer:
The subject
tentative map was approved on April 16, 2014 by the subdivision Hearing
Officer, to be recorded within two 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 the final Tract
Map is April 16, 2019.
