The final map and any additional map sheet or separate document containing nontitle information shall be recorded or filed, as appropriate, simultaneously by and at the expense of the subdivider and shall conform to the following provisions:
(A) 
Each map sheet filed simultaneously shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) 
It shall be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor and shall be based on a survey.
(2) 
It shall be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth or polyester base film. Certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. If ink is used on polyester base film, the ink surface shall be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility.
(3) 
The size of each sheet shall be 18 by 26 inches. 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 large enough to show all details clearly and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown.
(4) 
All survey information and data necessary to locate all monuments and to locate and retrace any and all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing thereon shall be shown, including bearings and distances of straight lines, and central angle, radius and arc length to all curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves and ties to existing monuments used to establish the subdivision boundaries.
(5) 
Each parcel shall be numbered and each block may be numbered or lettered. Street names acceptable to the Fire Marshal shall be shown.
(6) 
The exterior boundary of the land included within the subdivision shall be indicated by a distinctive symbol which shall be identified in a legend. The map shows the definite location of the subdivision, and particularly its relation to surrounding surveys. If the map includes a designated remainder parcel, the location of the remainder parcel shall be indicated but need not be indicated as a matter of survey but only by deed reference to the existing record boundaries of such remainder if such remainder parcel has a gross area of five acres or more.
(7) 
The title sheet shall contain the title and tract number as secured from the Planning Department, conspicuously placed on the sheet. Below the title shall appear a subtitle consisting of a general description of all the property being subdivided by reference to recorded deeds or to maps which have been previously recorded or by reference to the plat of a United States survey.
(8) 
References in the description to tracts and subdivisions must be spelled out and worded identically with original records; and references to book and page of record must be complete. There must also appear on the map the scale, the north point and the basis of bearing, reference being made to a recorded subdivision map, recorded deed, United States survey, solar or polaris observation. Every sheet comprising the map proper shall bear the title, scale, north point and sheet number.
(9) 
All stakes, monuments or other evidences which were found on the ground to determine the boundaries of the subdivision shall be shown. The adjoining corners of all adjoining subdivisions shall be identified by lot and block number, tract name and place of record, or by section, township and range or other property designation.
(B) 
Final Maps. In addition to the general requirements set forth in subsection (A) of this section, the final map shall comply with the following specific requirements:
(1) 
On and after January 1, 1987, to the extent that any requirement of this section does not affect record title interests, such requirement shall not be included on the final map itself, but rather on a separate additional map sheet or separate document recorded simultaneously. The final map shall, however, contain a notation or reference to the effect that additional nontitle information required by County ordinance is included on a separate additional map sheet or separate document recorded or filed simultaneously.
(2) 
Affidavits, certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements, acceptances of dedications and notarial seals required by law and by this chapter shall appear and shall be placed on the title sheet, or the title sheet and such other sheets as may be required.
(3) 
The location and kind of monuments placed in making the survey shall be shown.
(4) 
If any points were reset from reference point ties, that fact shall be stated.
(5) 
In case the subdivision is adjacent to tidewater, a meander line shall be shown, and identified as such.
(6) 
In making the survey, the engineer or surveyor shall set permanent monuments at all angle and curve points on the subdivision boundary, on the boundaries of each block and on all lot corners. In case the location of any water course, inaccessible terrain or physical obstruction makes it impracticable to place any of the monuments as required by this section, the County Surveyor may authorize, in lieu thereof, the placing of off-set monuments. The exterior boundary of the land being subdivided shall be adequately monumented before the map is recorded.
(7) 
Monuments at angle and curve points on the exterior boundaries of the subdivision shall be not less substantial than galvanized iron pipe, not less than one and one-half inches in diameter and not less than 30 inches in length. Monuments on the exterior boundaries of blocks and lot corners shall be not less substantial than galvanized iron pipe, not less than one-half inch in diameter and not less than 30 inches in length. Each lot corner shall also be marked by a wooden stake, not less than one inch by two inches in cross section, 18 inches long and driven six inches into the ground with the lot number marked on the side of the stake toward the lot. All monuments shall be appropriately marked with the engineer's or surveyor's license number in conformance with Section 8772 of the Business and Professions Code of the State of California.
(8) 
All monuments shall be subject to inspection and approval by the County Surveyor before approval of the map. In case the improvements in the subdivision are proposed to be installed subsequent to the recordation of the map, the County Surveyor may authorize the placing of reference point markers in lieu of some of the interior monuments required by this chapter which cannot be permanently placed until completion of the improvement work. In such case the agreement for the improvement work, as provided in SCCC § 14.01.510, shall include the placing of the permanent monuments required by this chapter.
(9) 
Boundary traverses of the subdivision and of all lots and blocks must close within a limit of error of one foot to 5,000 feet of perimeter.
(10) 
At the County Surveyor's option, interior monuments need not be set at the time the final map is recorded if the engineer or surveyor certifies on the map that the monuments will be set on or before a specified later date, and if the subdivider furnishes to the Board of Supervisors a bond or cash deposit guaranteeing the payment of the cost of setting the monuments as part of the agreement noted in SCCC § 14.01.510.
(11) 
Street center lines or parallel offsets (10-foot maximum) within the improved road area shall be monumented with railroad spikes or one-half-inch by 30-inch galvanized iron pipes at curve points and along tangents in sufficient quantities to readily enable re-establishment of said center line. Said monuments shall in all cases be intervisible. The center line monuments shall be set after completion of the street surfacing and must be in place prior to County acceptance of the tract improvement.
(12) 
Within five days after the final setting of all monuments has been completed by the engineer or surveyor, he or she shall give written notice to the subdivider and to the County Surveyor that the final monuments have been set. Upon payment to the engineer or surveyor for setting the final monuments, the subdivider shall present to the County Surveyor evidence of such payment and receipt thereof by the engineer or surveyor for the setting of the final monuments, and if the engineer or surveyor notifies the Board of Supervisors that he or she has not been paid by the subdivider for the setting of the final monuments, the Board of Supervisors may, within three months from the date of said notification, pay the engineer or surveyor, from any deposit, the amount due.
(13) 
Any offers for dedications, or deed restrictions to protect solar access, required as a tentative map condition shall be included as part of the owner's certificate.
(14) 
In the event of the death, disability, or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with the responsibility for setting monuments, or in the event of his refusal to set such monuments, the Board of Supervisors may direct the County Surveyor, or such engineer or surveyor as it may select, to set such monuments. When the monuments are so filed pursuant to this chapter in accordance with the provisions of SCCC § 14.01.340. All provisions of this chapter relating to payment shall apply to the services performed by the substituted engineer or surveyor.
(C) 
Nontitle Information Sheets. In addition to the general requirements set forth in subsection (A) of this section, the nontitle information sheets shall comply with the following requirements.
(1) 
On and after January 1, 1987, information which does not affect record title interests shall be in the form of a separate additional map sheet or separate document recorded or filed simultaneously.
(2) 
When a soils or a geologic report has been required by the County and prepared, this fact shall be noted on the nontitle information sheet, together with the date of the report, the name of the engineer and/or geologist making the report and a statement that such report should be read in its entirety in order to ascertain its import.
(3) 
All specific requirements noted as conditions of approval for the tentative map shall be simultaneously recorded or filed, as appropriate, with the County Recorder as a separate document containing nontitle information, but need not comply with the requirements set forth in subsection (A) of this section.
(4) 
Any city boundary and any urban service which crosses or adjoins the subdivision shall be clearly designated.
(5) 
Sufficient information, as deemed necessary, to evaluate solar access protection including, but not limited to, building envelopes and shadow plans shall be clearly designated.
(6) 
Building envelopes, building setback lines and bulk plane shall be clearly designated.
(7) 
Any agricultural buffer shall be clearly designated.
(8) 
Any riparian corridor, and any required setback therefrom, shall be clearly designated.
(9) 
Any identified geologic hazard zone shall be clearly designated.
(10) 
Any identified archaeological site shall be clearly designated.
(11) 
Any waiver, hold harmless or insurance provision shall be stated.
(Ord. 2093, 1975; Ord. 3860 § 1, 1987; Ord. 3931 § 1, 1988; Ord. 4102 § 3, 1990)
The following affidavits and certificates, with acknowledgments where appropriate, shall appear on the final map:
(A) 
Owner's certificate, with acknowledgments, consenting to the preparation and recording of the final map and to the dedication or offer to dedicate interest in real property for specified public purpose. Said certificate must be signed by all parties having any record title interest in the real property being subdivided except as follows:
(1) 
No Encumbrances. Neither a lien for State, County, municipal or local taxes, nor for special assessments, nor a trust interest under bond indentures, nor mechanics' liens constitute a record title interest in land for the purpose of this chapter.
(2) 
Signatures That May Be Omitted. Signatures of parties owning the following types of interest may be omitted if their names and the nature of their respective interests are stated on the final map:
(a) 
Rights-of-way, easements or other interests which cannot ripen into a fee, except those owned by a public entity or public utility. If however, it is determined by the Board of Supervisors that division and development of the property in the manner set forth on the approved or conditionally approved tentative map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity or the public utilities right-of-way or easement, the signature of such public entity or public utility may be omitted. Where such determination is made, the subdivider shall send by certified mail a sketch of the proposed final map, together with a copy of this section, to any public entity or public utility which has previously acquired a right-of-way or easement.
(b) 
If the public entity or utility objects either to recording the final map without its signatures; or to the determination of the Board of Supervisors that the division and development of the property will not unreasonably interfere with the full and complete exercise of its right-of-way or easement, it shall so notify the subdivider and the Board of Supervisors within 30 days after receipt of the materials from the subdivider. If the public entity or utility objects to recording the final map without its signature, the public entity or utility so objecting may affix its signature to the final map within 30 days of filing its objection with the Board of Supervisors. If the public entity or utility either does not file an objection with the Board of Supervisors, or fails to affix its signature within 30 days of filing its objection to recording the map without its signature, the County may record the final map without such signature.
(c) 
If the public entity or utility files an objection to the determination of the Board of Supervisors that the division and development of the property will not unreasonably interfere with the exercise of its right-of-way or easements, the Board of Supervisors shall set the matter for public hearing to be held not less than 10 or more than 30 days of receipt of the objection. At such hearing, the public entity or public utility shall present evidence in support of its position that the division and development of the property will unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the objector's right-of-way or easement.
(d) 
If the Board of Supervisors finds following such hearing that the development and division will, in fact, unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the objector's right-of-way or easement, it shall set forth those conditions whereby such unreasonable interference will be eliminated, and upon compliance with such conditions by the subdivider, the final map may be recorded with or without the signature of the objector. If the Board of Supervisors finds that the development and division will, in fact, not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the objector's right-of-way or easement, the final map may be recorded without the signature of the objector, notwithstanding its objections thereto. Failure of the public entity or public utility to file an objection pursuant to this section shall in no way affect its right under a right-of-way or easement.
(3) 
Real property originally patented by the United States or by the State of California, which original patent reserved interest to either or both of such entities, may be included in the final map without the consent of the United States or the State of California thereto or to dedications made thereon.
(B) 
Clerk's Certificate—Board Approval. Clerk of the Board certificate stating that the Board of Supervisors approved the map and accepted or rejected, on behalf of the public, any real property offered for dedication for public use in conformity with the terms of the offer of dedication.
(C) 
Engineer's or Surveyor's Certificate. Engineer's or surveyor's certificate which shall give the date of the survey, state that the survey and final map were made by him or under his direction, and that the survey is true and complete in conformance with usual survey practice as shown. The certificate shall also state that all the monuments are of the character and occupy the positions indicated, or that they will be set in such positions on or before a specified later date. The certificate shall also state that the monuments are, or will be, sufficient to enable the survey to be retraced.
(D) 
County Surveyor's Certificate. County Surveyor's certificate stating:
(1) 
He has examined the map.
(2) 
The subdivision as shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the tentative map and any approved alterations thereof.
(3) 
All provisions of this chapter and of all local ordinances applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map have been complied with.
(4) 
He is satisfied that the map is substantially correct.
(E) 
Auditor-Controller's Certificate. County Auditor-Controller's tax and assessment certificate stating that, according to the records, there are no liens against the subdivision or any part thereof for unpaid State, County, municipal or local taxes or special assessments collected as taxes, except taxes or special assessments not yet payable. As to taxes or special assessments collected as taxes which are a lien but not yet payable, the certificate shall give an estimate of the amount of said taxes and assessments.
(F) 
Recorder's Certificate. County Recorder's certificate stating the date on which the map was received for recording and that after having examined the map, it was acceptable for recording. It shall also contain the recording data.
(G) 
Clerk's Certificate Regarding Deposits. Clerk of the Board's tax bond certificate certifying that surety has been posted with the County in accordance with Section 66493 of the Government Code to guarantee payment of taxes and assessments, if any, which are a lien against the subdivision, but not yet payable.
(Ord. 2093, 1975; Ord. 2509, 1977)
In the event any street shown on a subdivision map is not offered for dedication, the owner's certificate as noted in SCCC § 14.01.209 may contain a statement to this effect. If such statement appears on the map and if the map is approved by the Board of Supervisors, the use of any such street or streets by the public shall be permissive only. An offer of dedication of real property for street or public utility easement purposes shall be deemed not to include any public utility facilities located on or under such real property, unless and only to the extent and intent to dedicate such facilities is expressly stated in the certificate.
(Ord. 2093, 1975)
The County Surveyor shall complete and file with the Board his certificate, within 20 days from the time the final map is submitted to him by the subdivider for approval, if all tentative map conditions and all requirements of this chapter are met.
