Wherever the public works director has established a system of coordinates, then the final map survey shall be tied into such system. Each final map shall show clearly what stakes, monuments or other evidences were found on the ground to determine the boundaries of the tract. The adjoining corners of all adjoining subdivisions shall be identified by lot and block numbers, tract name and place of record, or other proper designation.
(Ord. 1085 § 1, 2009)
Sufficient data shall be shown on final maps to determine readily the bearing and length of every lot line, block line and boundary line.

B. 
Upon receipt of the final map, the public works director shall transmit the final map and other data submitted therewith to all City departments that reviewed the tentative map to determine if the final map conforms with the tentative map and with all changes permitted and all requirements imposed as a condition to its acceptance. If the reviewing departments determine that such map is in conformity therewith, the public works director shall transmit such map, together with any documents which may have been filed therewith for presentation to the City Council.

If the City Council determines that the final subdivision map is in substantial conformance with the tentative subdivision map, it shall approve the final subdivision map.
C. 
If the City Council determines that the final subdivision map is not in substantial conformance with the tentative subdivision map, the Council shall disapprove such map, specifying its reasons therefor and the City Clerk shall in writing advise the subdivider of such disapproval and of the reasons for such disapproval. Within 30 days after the City Council has disapproved any map, the subdivider may file with the City Clerk a map altered to meet the approval of the City Council. In such case, the subdivider shall conform to all the requirements imposed when filing the first final map with the public works department and the same proceedings shall be had thereon as are prescribed by this chapter upon the filing of the first final map with the public works department.

Correction of Errors and Omissions. A certificate of correction or an amended map may be approved for a recorded final map or parcel map in order to correct errors and omissions, such as the following (as used in this section, "error" does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not ascertainable from the data shown on the final or parcel map):

f. 
Correct any additional information filed or recorded pursuant to HMC § 17.04.180(D) if the correction does not impose any additional burden on the present fee owners of the real property and does not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map.
g. 
Correct any other type of map error or omission that does not affect any property right, including, but not limited to, lot numbers, acreage, street names and identification of adjacent record maps.
2. 
Building Envelope Revisions. An amended map may be approved to revise the location and/or boundaries of a building envelope designated on a recorded final map or parcel map because of circumstances that have changed since its recordation, subject to the findings required by subsection (C)(2) of this section.
B. 
Application Requirements.
1. 
Draft certificates of correction and amended maps shall be prepared and signed by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor.
2. 
Draft amended maps shall conform to the requirements of HMC § 17.04.180 (Content and form of a final map).
3. 
Draft certificates of correction and amended maps shall set forth in detail the proposed corrections or revisions and show the names of the fee owners of the affected real property on the date of the filing or recording of the original recorded map.
4. 
An application for a building envelope revision shall be accompanied by plans and other information that demonstrate the need for the revision and the intended use of the revised building envelope. The zoning administrator may require the submittal of documentation such as a biological assessment, arborist report, geotechnical report or visual simulation in support of the application to be used as the basis for making the findings required in subsection (C)(2) of this section.
C. 
Review Process.
1. 
The public works director shall have 20 working days in which to examine a proposed certificate of correction or amended map that is intended to correct errors and omissions, and endorse a statement on it of his or her examination and certification, and present it to the county recorder for recordation. In the event the submitted certificate of correction or amended map fails to comply with subsection (B) of this section, the public works director shall return it within the same 20 working days to the applicant, together with a written statement of the changes necessary to make it conform to the requirements of Subsections (B)(1) through (B)(3) of this section. The preparer may then make the required changes and resubmit the certificate of correction or amended map to the public works director for further consideration.
2. 
The planning and building director, acting as the zoning administrator as provided in HMC Title 20 (zoning ordinance), may approve an amended map for a building envelope revision after receiving a recommendation from the public works director and holding a public hearing, in accordance with Article 25 of HMC Title 20 (zoning ordinance) of the City's municipal code. The hearing shall be confined to consideration of, and action on, the proposed modifications. In approving or conditionally approving an application for revisions to a building envelope, the zoning administrator shall make all of the following findings:
a. 
There are changes in circumstances that make the size and/or location of the building envelope as shown on the recorded map no longer appropriate or necessary.
b. 
The revisions do not impose any additional burden on the fee owners of the real property.
c. 
The revisions do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map.
d. 
The revisions are consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan.
e. 
The building envelope revisions and the intended use of the revised building envelope do not significantly and adversely affect natural features such as wetlands, riparian areas, heritage-sized trees, habitat areas with high biological value, geologically unstable areas, seismic faults, visually prominent hillsides or ridgelines, or the privacy or viewshed of residents in the vicinity.
f. 
The potential environmental impacts of the revised building envelope revision have been adequately addressed.
D. 
Actions Subsequent to Approval. The amending map or certificate of correction certified by the public works director or approved by the zoning administrator shall be filed or recorded in the office of the county recorder in which the original map was filed.
