Chapter 21.56 — CORRECTION AND AMENDMENT OF MAPS

After a final or parcel map is filed in the office of the County Recorder, it may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map for any of the following reasons:

A. To correct an error in any course or distance shown thereon.

B. To show any course or distance that was omitted therefrom.

C. To correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the map.

D. To indicate monuments set after the death, disability or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities for setting monuments.

E. To show the proper location of any monument which has been changed in location or character, or which was originally shown at the wrong location or incorrectly characterized.

F. To correct any other error or omission as approved by the City Engineer, which does not affect any property right, as specified in Section 66469 of the Subdivision Map Act. (Ord. 5793-NS § 2 (part), 1987)

The amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. The form and contents of the amending map shall conform to the requirements of Section 21.20.010 if a final map, or Section 21.24.030 if a parcel map. The certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the corrections made and show the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the correction. (Ord. 5793-NS § 2 (part), 1987)

The amending map or certificate of correction, complete as to final form, shall be submitted to the City Engineer for their review and approval.

The City Engineer shall examine the amending map or certificate of correction and if the only changes made are those set forth in Section 21.56.010 above, they shall certify to this fact on the amending map or certificate of correction. (Ord. 5793-NS § 2 (part), 1987)

The amending map or certificate of correction certified by the City Engineer shall be filed in the office of the County Recorder in which the original map was filed. Upon such filing, the County Recorder will index the names of the fee owners and the appropriate tract designation shown on the amending map or certificate of correction in the general index and map index respectively. Thereupon, the original map shall be deemed to have been conclusively so corrected, and thereafter shall impart constructive notice of all such corrections in the same manner as though set forth upon the original map. (Ord. 5793-NS § 2 (part), 1987)

A fee for checking, processing and recording the amended map or certificate of correction shall be paid to the City of Berkeley in accordance with the current master fee schedule, at the time the amended map or certificate of correction is submitted to the City Engineer for their review.
