With each application for a building
permit to erect, construct or enlarge a building or structure, or
to move an existing building or structure to a new location, there
shall be submitted a plat of a recent survey of the property proposed
to be improved by said building or structure. These requirements shall
be in addition to the requirements of Chapter 15 Division 3 of the
Business and Professions Code of the state (Land Surveyor's Act) which
shall take precedence when a record of survey is required.
(Prior code § 2-13.03)
Two prints of the survey plat shall
be submitted. The plat shall be accurately drawn to a scale of 20
feet to one inch and on a standard sized sheet of 18 inches by 26
inches, with a one-inch border on all sides, unless otherwise authorized
by the city engineer. Upon approval of the survey by the city, a reproducible
copy shall be supplied to the city.
(Prior code § 2-13.04)
The following minimum information
shall be shown on all property surveys:
A. The name, address and registration number
of the licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer who performed
the survey together with his or her certificate, signature and seal,
the date the survey was made, and the name of the owner of record.
B. The exterior boundary lines of the property
with their bearings and distances. Basis of bearings shall be the
California State Coordinate (Zone III) bearing between two identified
monuments. Deed courses shall be shown in parentheses, with "Deed"
included with course. Courses based on other surveys shall also be
shown in parentheses with a note reference to the survey included;
C. The location and type of monuments or other
markers found or set by the surveyor;
D. The deed and/or survey distance and the
measured distance sufficient to relate the side line of the property
to the nearest intersecting street and to one identified monument;
E. The location of existing easements affecting
the property with sufficient data to accurately locate them, and the
proper recording data, and adopted precise plan lines of future street
rights-of-way;
F. Contour lines at one-foot intervals or
spot elevation(s) on a grid system, for predominant ground slopes
between level zero percent and five percent, contour lines at two-foot
intervals for predominant ground slopes between five percent and 10
percent, contour lines at five foot, or other appropriate interval
for predominant ground slopes exceeding 10 percent. All elevations
shall be based on N.G.V.D. datum (National Geodetic Vertical Datum,
formerly United States Coast and Geodetic Survey) unless otherwise
authorized by the city engineer, and the bench mark used shall be
listed with the record elevation;
G. The location of all existing buildings,
structures, wells or other improvements on the property including
trees, fences or poles and power lines. Where encroachment or near
encroachment occurs with a property line, the distance from the property
line shall be shown;
H. The location of curbs, gutters, sidewalk
and street paving with elevations;
I. The location, size, slope and depth of
open or closed drainage channels, sewer, water or other underground
utility lines, on or affecting the property, based on best data available
(precise invert elevations to be field measured when possible);
J. Natural topographic or agricultural features
affecting the property.
(Prior code § 2-13.05)
The limits of the survey plat shall
normally be the boundaries of the property except as follows:
A. The limit shall extend to the opposite
property line of improved or unimproved streets.
B. Major buildings, structures or other features
on adjacent properties shall be shown when they may reasonably be
expected to affect the subject property.
C. When the proposed improvements occupy a
small portion of a large parcel under one ownership the city engineer
may prescribe reasonable limits beyond the proposed work, except that
the survey plat must show the location with relation to the property
lines.
D. When needed to justify information included
on the plat, the limits of the survey plat shall include other adjacent
or nonadjacent parcels or streets.
(Prior code § 2-13.06)
The exterior boundaries of the property
shall be clearly outlined on the ground by appropriate permanent stakes
or monuments. Before the first inspection by the building official,
city engineer or their agents, any monuments or markers defining the
exterior boundary lines of the property which have been disturbed
or destroyed shall be reset by the surveyor.
(Prior code § 2-13.07)
With each application for a building
permit to erect, construct, enlarge, alter or convert a building or
structure, or to move an existing building or structure to a new location,
there shall be submitted a drawing of a site plan.
(Prior code § 2-13.09)
Two prints of the site plan shall
be submitted, accurately drawn, to a scale of 20 feet to one inch,
or as approved by city engineer, and on an appropriately sized sheet.
Upon approval by the city, a reproducible copy shall be supplied to
the city.
(Prior code § 2-13.10)
The following minimum information
shall be shown on all site plans:
A. A cross-reference of the property survey,
if one is required;
B. The names, addresses and phone numbers
of the property owner, the developer, and of the architect, engineer
or designer who prepared the plans. The plans shall be signed by the
person preparing them;
C. The exterior boundary lines of the property,
adjacent streets and any easements affecting the property.
D. Contour lines at one-foot intervals or
spot elevations on a grid system for predominant ground slopes between
level zero percent and five percent, contour lines at two-foot intervals
for predominant ground slopes between five percent and 10 percent,
contour lines at five-foot, or other appropriate intervals for predominant
ground slopes exceeding 10 percent. All elevations shall be based
on N.G.V.D. (National Geodetic Vertical Datum, formerly United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey) datum unless otherwise authorized by the
city engineer, and the bench mark used shall be listed with the record
elevation;
E. The location of all existing buildings,
structures, wells or other improvements on the property, including
trees, fences or poles and power lines. Where encroachment or near
encroachment occurs with a property line, the distance from the property
line shall be shown;
F. The location of curbs, gutters, sidewalk
and street paving with elevations;
G. The location, size, slope and depth of
open or closed drainage channels, sewer, water or other underground
utility lines, on or affecting the property, based on best data available
(precise invert elevations to be field measured when possible);
H. Natural topographic or agricultural features
affecting the property;
I. The location of all proposed buildings
or structures with dimensions and proposed floor elevations of buildings
or structures and setbacks from property lines. Any improvements,
structures, trees or other agricultural features to be removed or
altered shall be so indicated;
J. The location and layout of all proposed
street improvements, utilities, drainage, parking, landscaping or
requirements of any other ordinance, rule or regulation of the city
or as a condition of approval of any other agreement or permit issued
by the city;
K. Plans for street or utility line extensions
when required shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer;
L. Storm drainage calculations will be required
by the city engineer.
