Chapter 19.24 — PARCEL MAPS; REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

The content and form of parcel maps shall be governed by the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the subdivision manual. The subdivision committee may require additional information to be filed or recorded simultaneously with the map. The additional information shall be in the form of an additional map sheet which shall indicate its relationship to the map and contain a statement that the additional information is for informational purposes. Such additional information may include, but is not limited to, building setback lines, flood hazard zones, seismic lines and setbacks, geologic mapping, archaeological sites, and possible boundary or title conflicts. (Ord. 780 § 2, 1996)

• A. When a subdivision is proposed to be created through the tentative parcel map process, a final parcel map shall be filed for record with the county clerk/county recorder of the county of Orange and the county surveyor pursuant to Government Code Section 66466 . No proposed subdivision shall be complete until such parcel map has been filed for record with the county surveyor unless a waiver has been approved. If a tentative parcel map is filed and approved, the final parcel map shall be approved by the city council in accordance with Sections 66457 and 66458 of the Government Code.

• B. A final parcel map, within commercial or industrial zoned areas, identifying lease line or lines for tax purposes may be filed for recording with the county clerk/county recorder of the county of Orange without being required to comply with the tentative parcel map requirements of this code. Each parcel on such map shall be identified by letter and shall not be considered to be a

separate building site. No transfers of fee title may be made in connection with such map. Identification shall be shown on the face of such map as to its purpose provided that it does not create building sites and that it does not permit transfer of fee title interest. (Ord. 780 § 2, 1996)

• A. When dedications or offers of dedications are made on the final parcel map, all parties having any record title or interest in the real property being subdivided shall consent to the preparation and recordation of the final parcel map by signing the required certificate. Such certificate shall be properly acknowledged. The certificate need not be signed by public entities and public utilities which own rights-of-way, easements, or other interests which cannot ripen into a fee, provided that:

  1. The subdivision committee determines that division and development of the property in the manner set forth on the map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity or public utility right-of-way or easement;

  2. The map contains a statement that the subdivision committee has determined that the division and development of the property in the manner set forth on the map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity or public utility right-of-way or easement; and

  3. The public entity or utility has been given the opportunity to object to such a determination in accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act.

• B. When dedications or offers of dedications are not being made, no owners' or subdividers' signature shall be required on the parcel map.

• (Ord. 780 § 2, 1996)

• A. Final Parcel Map. The final parcel map shall be submitted to the director and the city engineer, who shall examine the map within twenty days of receipt thereof. If the engineer is satisfied that the map is technically correct and conforms with the approved tentative parcel map and any conditions imposed thereon, he/she shall execute the certificate required by the Subdivision Map Act. Such certification by the city engineer shall constitute approval of the final parcel map.

• B. Agreements and Security. Whenever, as a condition of an approved tentative parcel map, agreements, and/or security are required for installation of certain improvements said agreements and security shall be approved by the city council prior to recordation of the final parcel map.

• (Ord. 780 § 2, 1996)

The city clerk shall transmit the approved final parcel map to the county clerk/county recorder of the county of Orange for recordation within twenty days from the time that the parcel map is submitted for approval, unless the city engineer or subdivider requests an alternate time schedule for recordation. It shall be the obligation of the subdivider to cause a copy of the approved final parcel map to be filed with the county surveyor in accordance with Government Code Section 66466 .
