EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) Section 15-3314 describes the process for appealing tentative parcel and tentative tract maps. Subsection E of Section 15-3314 requires that appeals of tentative parcel and tract maps be heard by the Review Authority within 30 days after the appeal has been filed, consistent with Section 66452.5 of the Subdivision Map Act (SMA).
