La Cañada Unit 1 Final Map would create a total of 24 residential lots ranging from 1.176 acres to 1.995 acres (Attachment E, Exhibit C).

Approval of six (6) one-year time extensions (TM08-1463-E) was approved by the Planning Commission on February 9, 2017 (Legistar file 09-1518, V2). A Substantial Conformance Tentative Subdivision Map Revision (TM08-1463-R) was approved by the Planning and Building Department Director on March 7, 2017 (Attachment E, Exhibit E), which extended the map to January 19, 2023.

The Unit 1 Final Map application was submitted to the County on December 22, 2022. As described in a letter from the County to the applicant dated January 17, 2023, the County confirmed that the approved Tentative Subdivision Map qualified for an automatic three-year time extension from January 19, 2023 to January 19, 2026, due to the map chronology, including approval of the Large Lot Final Map (TM08-1463-F).
