Re: Extensions of Time for Tentative Tract and Preliminary Parcel Maps

The State legislature on July 15, 2011, enacted legislation whereby all maps areautomatically granted an additional two years as long as those maps were stillvalid as of July 15, 2011 and will expire before January 1, 2014.

In order to take advantage of the increase time extension authority, the City ofLos Angeles adopted a new ordinance consistent with State law (Ordinance No.182106, effective May 20,2012).

The new time extension is in addition to any extension provided for by theMunicipal Code and the State Map Act. Accordingly, the maximum total time (notconsidering offsite improvements, lawsuits, moratoriums, unit maps anddevelopment agreements) a tentative tract map or preliminary parcel map can bemaintained as valid is now 14 years.
