(a) Before filing a tentative map the subdivider shall obtain from the county surveyor the assignment of a number for the tract to be subdivided or shall submit to the county surveyor for his approval a name, title or other designation to be given such tract.

(b) If such name, title or designation includes the name or designation of any existing city, town or unincorporated community, other than this city, or if such name, title or designation is the same or so nearly the same as to cause confusion or mislead the public as that of any other tract or subdivision, a map or plat of which shall have been previously recorded in the county, the name, title or designation shall be disapproved by the county surveyor or city engineer and the subdivider shall submit such other name, title or designation as shall meet such approval.

(c) When a number shall have been assigned or a name, title or designation shall have been approved by the county surveyor for a subdivision, the subdivider shall place the name, title or designation upon each tentative or final map of the subdivision, and the number, name, title or designation shall not thereafter be changed or altered in any manner upon any tentative or final map of the subdivision unless and until a new number shall have been approved by the county surveyor, as provided in this section. If the subdivider elects to file an approved record of survey map in place of a final map, such number, name, title or designation shall not appear upon the approved record of survey map.
