Opinion
MARGULIES, J.
This appeal requires us to address an issue left unresolved in Gardner v. County of Sonoma (2003) 29 Cal.4th 990 [129 Cal.Rptr.2d 869, 62 P.3d 103] (Gardner): whether a subdivision map approved and recorded under the statutes in effect prior to the state’s first modem land use planning laws, enacted in 1929, is valid under the Subdivision Map Act (Act) (Gov. Code, 1 §§ 66410-66499.37). (Gardner, at p. 1001, fn. 7.) We provide the partial answer that the Act’s grandfather provisions do not validate subdivision maps approved under the statutes in effect through 1915.
