§ 82-146. Moratorium.

The periods of time specified in this title for which an approved tentative parcel map, or tentative subdivision map, or vesting tentative map shall be valid shall not include:

(a)

Any period of time during which a development moratorium imposed after the approval of the map is in existence; provided, however, that the length of such moratorium does not exceed five years. Once such moratorium is terminated, the approved map shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the map at the time the moratorium was imposed provided, however, that in no instance shall the map be valid for less than 120 days after termination of the moratorium.

(b)

Any period of time during which a lawsuit has been filed and is pending in a court of competent jurisdiction involving the approval, or conditional approval of a tentative parcel map or a tentative subdivision map if a stay of such time period is approved by the board. Upon receipt of service of the initial petition or complaint, the clerk of the board of supervisors shall notify the subdivider of the service of the petition or complaint. The subdivider may, within ten days of the receipt of the petition or complaint by the board, apply to the board for a stay. The request for stay shall be processed in the same manner as an appeal of an action of the Project Planning Commission; however, the board shall, within forty days of receipt of the request, hear the matter and either stay the time period for up to five years or deny the requested stay.
