After approval or conditional approval of a tentative map and prior to expiration of such map, the subdivider may prepare a final map or parcel map of the proposed subdivision or any portion thereof as indicated by phase lines on the approved tentative map. A final map or parcel map shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or a licensed land surveyor and shall be in substantial compliance with the approved tentative map and in full compliance with the Subdivision Map Act, this title and the standard specifications and details, as amended from time to time. The final map or parcel map shall be submitted to the office of the City Engineer.
(Prior code § 21-9-1)
A.

The size of each sheet shall be 18 inches by 26 inches. No map lettering shall be smaller than No. 80 CL Leroy or 0.08 of an inch in height. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map shall be one inch equals 50 feet or 100 feet and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. With approval of the City Engineer, the scale used may be modified. A graphical scale not less than three inches in length shall be shown in addition to numerical scale. Each sheet of the final map or parcel map and lettering thereon shall be so oriented that the north point shall be directed toward the top at the sheet or toward the left of the sheet. The date of the preparation shall be noted.
(Prior code § 21-9-3)

The last lot number shall be circled. Flood control channels and ponding areas to be offered for dedication are to be designated. All other areas, other than streets and alleys, which are to be offered in whole for dedication on the map or subsequent to recordation of the map and which do not meet zoning requirements as to size and shape, are to be designated as "parcels" and consecutively numbered or lettered.

I. 
The owner's statement on the final map or parcel map shall indicate the easements and/or rights-of-way being offered for dedication.
J. 
At the time of making the survey of the final map or parcel map, the engineer or surveyor shall set sufficient durable monuments to conform to the standards described in Section 8771 of the Business and Professions Code so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey.

In determining the amount of the bond, the City Engineer shall make the necessary estimate of the cost to set monuments not already existing.
K.
