A. The
final subdivision map shall be clearly and legibly drawn upon tracing
cloth of good quality. All lines, letters, figures, certifications,
acknowledgments and signatures shall be made in black India ink. The
map shall be so made and shall be in such condition when filed that
good legible prints can be made therefrom. The size of the sheets
of tracing cloth shall be eighteen by twenty-six inches. A marginal
line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely
blank margin of one inch. The scale of the final map shall be one
inch equals not more than one hundred feet.
B. When
the final map consists of two or more sheets, a key map showing the
relation of the sheets shall be placed on sheet one. Every sheet comprising
the map shall bear the scale, north point, legend, sheet number and
number of sheets comprising the map.
C. Maps
filed for the purpose of reverting subdivided land to acreage shall
be conspicuously so designated with the title "The Purpose of this
Map is Reversion to Acreage."
D. Record
of survey maps shall be prepared and recorded in accordance with the
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act of the state.
E. Wherever
the city engineer has established a system of coordinates, the survey
shall be tied into such system. The map shall show clearly what stakes,
monuments, or other evidences were found on the ground to determine
the boundaries of the tract. The corner of all adjoining subdivisions
shall be identified by lot and block numbers, tract name and place
of record, or other proper designation.
F. Sufficient
data must be shown to determine readily the bearing and length of
every lot line, block line and boundary line. Dimensions of lots shall
be given as the net dimensions to the boundaries of adjoining streets
and shall be used. Lots containing one acre or more shall show net
acreage to nearest one-hundredth. Bearings and distances of straight
lines and radii and arc lengths of curves shall be shown with data
fixing delta of each curve.
(Prior code § 29-602 (1))
A. Whenever
the city engineer has established the monument line of a street or
alley adjacent to or in the proposed subdivision, the data shall be
shown on the final map, indicating all monuments found and reference
to a field book or map. If the points were reset by ties, that fact
shall be stated.
B. The
map shall show the location and description of all monuments found
in making the survey of the subdivision, and shall include bearings
and distances to such other existing monuments as may be necessary
to establish the position of the proposed subdivision in relation
thereto.
(Prior code § 29-602 (2), (3))
If any portion of any land within the boundaries shown on any
final map or record of survey map is subject to overflow, inundation
or flood hazard by stormwaters, such fact and such portion shall be
clearly shown on such final map or record of survey map, enclosed
in a border on each sheet of such map.
(Prior code § 29-602 (4))
In addition, the final map shall be prepared in full compliance
with the following requirements:
A. The
map shall show the line of high water in case the subdivision is adjacent
to a stream or ocean and/or areas subject to periodic inundation by
floodwaters.
B. The
boundary of the tract shall be designated by a Prussian blue border
applied to the reverse side of the tracing and on the face of the
blue line prints. Such border shall not interfere with the legibility
of figures or other data.
C. Streets
and other rights-of-way: The map shall show the monument and side
lines of all streets, the total width of all streets, the width of
the portion being dedicated and the width of existing dedications,
and the widths each side of the monument line —also the width
of railroad rights-of-way, appearing on the map.
D. The
map shall how the side lines of all easements to which the lots are
subject. The easements shall be clearly labeled and identified. If
any easement is not of record, a statement of such easement must appear
on the title sheet. Easements for storm drain, sewers and other purposes
shall be denoted by fine dotted lines. The width of the easement and
the lengths and bearings of the lines thereof and sufficient ties
thereto to definitely locate the easement with respect to the subdivision
must be shown. If the easement is being dedicated by the map, it shall
be properly set out in the owner's certificate or dedication.
E. City
or county boundary lines crossing or abutting the subdivision shall
be clearly designated and referenced.
F. Lot
numbers shall begin with the number "1" and shall continue consecutively
through the block with no omissions or duplications.
G. Block
numbers shall begin with the number "1" or letter "A," continuing

The numbers or letters shall be solid and of sufficient size and thickness
to stand out, shall be so placed as not to obliterate any figure,
and shall not be enclosed in any design. Each block in its entirety
shall be shown on one sheet. Where adjoining blocks appear on separate
sheets, the street adjoining both blocks shall be shown on both sheets
complete with monument line and property line data.
H. The
map shall also show all other data that is or may be required by law.
I. The
final map shall particularly define, delineate and designate all lots
intended for private purposes; all parcels offered for dedication
for any purpose, public or private, with all dimensions, boundaries
and courses clearly shown and defined in every case. Parcels offered
for dedication but not accepted shall be designated "Not a Public
Street."

1. Rights-of-way,
easements, or other interest, none of which can ripen into a fee.
2. Rights-of-way,
easements or reversions which, by reason of changed conditions, long
disuse or laches, appear to be no longer of practical use or value
and for which a signature is impossible or impractical to obtain.
In this case, a reasonable statement of the circumstances preventing
the procurement of the signatures shall be endorsed on the map.
3. Any

engineer shall examine such to determine that the subdivision as shown
is substantially the same as it appears on the approved tentative
map, and any approved alteration thereof; that all provisions of this
chapter and of any ordinance applicable at the time of approval of
the tentative map have been complied with; and that he is satisfied
that the map is technically correct. If the map is found to be technically
correct and in conformance with regulations and with the approved
tentative map, the city engineer shall certify such map and transmit
it to the planning commission.
B. Upon
receipt of the final map, the planning commission shall examine the
same to determine whether such map conforms with the tentative map
and with all changes permitted and all requirements imposed as a condition
to its acceptance; and if the planning commission shall thereupon
determine that such map is in conformity therewith, it shall certify
its approval thereon and shall transmit such map to the city clerk,
together with any documents which may have been filed therewith, for
transmittal to the city council. If the planning commission shall
determine not to approve such map, it shall advise the subdivider
of the changes or additions that must be made for such purpose and
shall accord him or her an opportunity to make same.
C. At its first regular meeting following the filing of such map with the city clerk, the city council shall consider such map and the offers of dedication. The city council may reject any or all offers of dedication. If the city council shall determine that such map is in conformity with the requirements of this title and that it is satisfied with the plan of subdivision, it shall approve such map. When the subdivider shall have filed with the city clerk the agreement and bonds, or made the deposit described in Chapter
16.36 , such agreement and bonds may be approved by said city council as to form and as to sufficiency. No map shall have any force or effect until the same has been approved by the city council, and no title to any property described in any offer of dedication shall pass until the map has been recorded in the office of the county recorder.
D. Within
five days after city council approval of the final map, payment of
any required fees or assessments, execution of any agreements and
deeds, and execution of any other requirements of law or this title,
the final map shall be presented by the city clerk to the county recorder
for recordation.
E. If the proposed subdivision lies within or partly within the coastal zone, as identified in Title
17, a coastal development permit shall also be required pursuant to the requirements of Chapter
17.84 .
