§ 82-212. Effect of approval.

The approval of a vesting tentative map by the board of supervisors shall confer a vested right to apply for permits needed to proceed with development and have the county exercise its discretion to approval, disapprove, or approve such permits with conditions, on the basis of ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the application was determined to be complete pursuant to Section 65940 of the Government Code [Government Code § 65940].

(a)

This chapter does not enlarge, diminish, or alter the power of the board of supervisors to deny approval of the requested project or any part thereof, or to impose conditions on the approval of a project.

(b)

Nothing in this chapter removes, diminishes, or affects the obligation of any subdivider or local agency to comply with the conditions and requirements of any state or federal laws, regulations, or policies.

(c)

In the event that Section 66474.2 of the Government Code [Government Code § 66474.2] is repealed, any subsequent approvals of vested maps shall confer a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the vesting map is approved or conditionally approved, rather than at the time the application was determined to be complete.

(d)

Notwithstanding this chapter, the board of supervisors or agencies thereof may condition or deny a permit, extension or entitlement, including, but not limited to, final maps and building permits, if it determines any of the following:

(1)

A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both.

(2)

The condition or denial is required in order to comply with state or federal law.
