Burbank Municipal Code Art. 6 Final Map Approval and Recording

When all the certificates which appear on the final map, except the approval certificate of the Council, have been signed and, where necessary, acknowledged, the final map may be filed with the Council for approval. [Formerly numbered Section 27-69; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2197.]

If the final map conforms to all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the provisions of this chapter applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map, or any rulings made thereunder, the Council shall, at its next meeting or within a period of ten (10) days after the filing, approve the final map; provided, however, if the Council makes any of the findings contained in Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act the Council shall disapprove such final map unless the Council also finds that it has previously approved a tentative map for the proposed subdivision and that the final map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map. The time limit for such approval or disapproval may be extended by mutual consent of the subdivider and the Council. [Formerly numbered Section 27-70; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2705, 2197.]

The Council when it approves a final map shall at that time also accept, subject to improvement, or reject, any or all offers of dedication. [Formerly numbered Section 27-71; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2197.]

Unless the streets and easements have been improved and accepted, the subdivider shall prior to or concurrently with the approval of the final map and the acceptance of such streets and easements, execute an agreement or contract for such improvements satisfactory to the Council and post improvement security, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 66462 and 66499 through 66499.6 of the Subdivision Map Act and of this code. [Formerly numbered Section 27-72; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2490, 2274, 2197.]

To the extent permitted by Section 66436 of the Subdivision Map Act the Council may waive signatures on the final map of parties having a record title interest in the land subdivided. The names of such parties and the nature of their respective interests shall be endorsed on the map and, when required by Section 66436 of the Subdivision Map Act, a reasonable statement of the circumstances preventing the procurement of such signatures shall be included. [Formerly numbered Section 27-73; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2490, 2197.]

Subsequent to the approval of the final map by the Council, the City Clerk shall transmit the map for recordation as required by the Subdivision Map Act. [Formerly numbered Section 27-74; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2197.]

Prior to submission of the final map to Council, the subdivider shall pay a deposit to the City in an amount specified in the Burbank Fee Resolution. Within thirty (30) days of recordation of the final map with the County Recorder, the subdivider shall submit a copy of each sheet of the final map on reproducible cloth and six (6) prints of each map to the City Engineer and the deposit shall be refunded to subdivider. If the subdivider does not submit the copies of the map as required pursuant to this section, the deposit shall be forfeit and retained by the City. [Formerly numbered Section 27-75; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2930, 2197.]

Any failure to record a final map within eighteen (18) months from the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, or if an extension thereof has been granted by the Council within the period of such extension (not to exceed 2 years), shall terminate all proceedings. Before a final map may thereafter be recorded a new tentative map shall be submitted. [Formerly numbered Section 27-76; renumbered by Ord. No. 3058, eff. 2/21/87; 2197.]

A final map filed in the office of the County Recorder may be modified by an amending map or certificate of correction if the City Council finds: a) that there are changes in circumstances which make any or all of the conditions of such map no longer appropriate or necessary and that the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property; b) such modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map; and c) the map as modified conforms to the provisions of Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act. Requests for

amendment shall be filed with the Community Development Department in a form prescribed by the Director. The applicant shall pay the fee required for a subdivision map as established in the Fee Resolution.

Any such modification shall be set for public hearing before the Planning Commission and the City Council in accordance with Sections 11-1-310 and 11-1-312 of this chapter. The Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council on the approval or denial of the requested modifications, based on its ability or inability to make the aforementioned findings. All hearings shall be confined to consideration of and action on the proposed modification. [Added by Ord. No. 3476, eff. 12/27/97. Amended by Ord. 22-3,983, eff. 12/16/22.]
