Final tract maps of subdivisions whose tentative maps have been approved, or conditionally approved by the city council, shall be submitted, reviewed and processed in conformance with this section.

(a) Time limit for filing. Within a period of 24 months after the date upon which the city council granted its approval or conditional approval of a tentative subdivision tract map, the subdivider may cause the subdivision, or any portion thereof, to be surveyed and a final map to be prepared, filed with the city, and recorded, as herein provided, in accordance with the tentative map as approved, unless an exten-sion of time has been granted in accordance with the provisions of section 25-10(k).

In the case of multiple final maps relating to an approved or conditionally approved tentative map, such maps may be filed with the city prior to the expiration of the tentative map if:

(1) The subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the city in writing of the subdivider's intention to file multiple final maps on such tentative map; or
(2) After filing of the tentative map, the city and the subdivider consents in writing to the filing of multiple maps. In providing such notice, the subdivider shall not be required to define the number or configuration of the proposed multiple final maps.

In addition, the filing of a final map on a portion of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall not invalidate any part of such tentative map. The city may impose reasonable conditions relating to the filing of multiple final maps.

(b) Filing of final map. For the purposes of filing a final tract map, the subdivider shall submit to the director of public works an original final map tracing, one duplicate tracing, and four

blue-line prints thereof. One print shall be returned to the subdivider, showing any corrections to be made, or a state-ment by the director of public works that the map is correct. The remaining copies shall be used for other departmental purposes. When the final map is found to be correct, and the subdivider has posted all agreements and improvement securities as elsewhere provided in this chapter or as required by state law and city law, and when the balance of fees, as required by resolution or ordinance of the city council have been paid, and all other conditions precedent to the approval of the tentative map have been met, the final map tracing shall be certified by the director of public works as to its correctness, its substantial conformance to the approved tentative map, and the fact that all requirements imposed by the Subdivision Map Act and city laws in effect at the time of approval of the tentative map have been complied with. After such certification, the final map shall be put before the city council for final approval. The city council, within a period of 10 days after the director of public works has filed the map with them for approval, or at the next regular meeting held after its receipt, whichever is later, shall consider the final map. The council shall approve the final map if it finds that it substantially conforms to the tentative map and to all the applicable sections of the Subdivision Map Act, and local codes and ordinances in effect at the time the tentative map was approved or conditionally approved. If it does not so conform, the council shall disapprove the final map. If the city council does not approve or disapprove the final map within the prescribed time, or any authorized extension thereof, and the map conforms to said requirements, it shall be deemed approved, and the city clerk shall certify its approval thereon. If the final tract map is found not to conform to the above requirements, and its failure to conform is the result of a technical or inadvertent error, the city council may find that said error does not materially affect the validity of the map, and thereupon approve the final map.

p conforms to said requirements, it shall be deemed approved, and the city clerk shall certify its approval thereon. If the final tract map is found not to conform to the above requirements, and its failure to conform is the result of a technical or inadvertent error, the city council may find that said error does not materially affect the validity of the map, and thereupon approve the final map.

At the time of final map approval, the city council shall accept all dedications, offers for dedications, accept them subject to their improvement, or reject them, or any combination thereof. The city clerk shall certify on the map the action of the council. The city council may accept such dedications by separate instrument. The council, at the time of final map approval, shall also approve the execution of any required performance agreements entered into by the subdivider as a guarantee of completion of any public improvements required as a condition precedent to the approval of the tentative map. Upon completion of the required certificates by the city clerk, the final map shall be transmitted to the county recorder for recordation. After recordation, the subdivider shall provide the public works department with one print thereof, on cloth or other material as approved by the director of public works, and one reproducible copy on tracing cloth or polyester base film, which shall both be permanently filed in the office of the director of public works.

(c) Required information on final map. The final map shall contain the following information in addition to that required by the Subdivision Map Act:
- (1) If more than three sheets are used, an index showing the entire subdivision, with lots, streets, etc., shall be included on the title sheet, if there is room, or on the second sheet.
- (2) The number of the tract, and a statement as to whether it is the first, successive or final increment of an approved tentative tract of a different number.

All monuments set shall be tagged with the engineer's or surveyor's state license number and designation. Interior monuments and points need not be set at the time the final map is recorded if the engineer or surveyor certifies on the title sheet of the final map that the monuments will be set on or before a specified later date, and if the subdivider furnishes to the city council a cash bond and suitable agreement guaranteeing the setting of the monuments and payment for the cost thereof.
(2) Existing monuments and survey information. The final map shall clearly show all stakes, monuments, ties or other evidence found while making the survey to determine the tract boundaries. The corners of adjoining lots, subdivisions and parcels shall be shown and identified, with ties thereto. Reference shall also be made to all subdivisions, records of surveys, parcel maps, and other maps and data of record upon, adjoining or near the property being divided, combined or reverted to acreage.
