maps; and

have City staff present the map for approval consideration when the requisite items
necessary for final map approval are nearly, but not completely ,finished thus
yielding to the subdivider additional production time for preparation of those items;
and
WHEREAS, the subdivider has demonstrated to City staff and the City
Council that it has made sufficient progress with items required for final map
approval, and it is reasonable to expect the subdivider to satisfactorily complete the
items, including City staff review time, within thirty (30) days without adversely
impacting other ongoing work commitments of City staff; and
WHEREAS, Section 66458(b) of the Subdivision Map Act grants the City
Council broad authority to authorize time extensions regarding final map approval,
or disapproval, upon receiving it for consideration; and
WHEREAS, the City Council relies on professional City staff to review all
required items for conformancè with relevant requirements, and it is therefore
appropriate for the City Council to approve the 'final map subject to review and
confirmation of the required items by professional City staff, within a reasonable
period of time as specified by the City Council.
