a.A final map conforming to the tentative map as approved, or conditionally approved, shall be filed with the City Engineer within eighteen months of the date of approval of the tentative map or as otherwise provided in accordance with the terms of this Chapter. Neither the developer nor the City shall make, or cause to be made, any changes or requirements at the final map stage which are not in conformance with City standards or the conditions of approval of the tentative subdivision map.

b.Multiple final maps relating to an approved or conditionally approved tentative map may be filed prior to the expiration of the tentative map; provided, however, that the subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the Planning Commission of the subdivider’s intention to file multiple final maps. In providing such notice, the subdivider shall not be required to define the number or configuration of the proposed multiple final maps. The filing of a final map on a portion of an approved tentative map shall not invalidate any part of such tentative map. The right of the subdivider to file multiple final maps shall not detract from the authority of the City Council to impose reasonable conditions relating to the filing of multiple final maps.
