§ 16.24

Final maps shall conform substantially to the approved tentative maps. When a final map covers only a portion of the property shown on the tentative map, it shall first be submitted to the advisory agency for approval prior to submission to the city engineer for checking. The advisory agency may refuse to approve the recording of any such map that does not provide a satisfactory design nor provide adequate improvements. The city engineer may refuse to approve for recording a final map covering only a portion of a tentative map when, in the process of checking the final map, he determines that it will not be feasible from an engineering standpoint to construct satisfactory improvements in the reduced area.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8433)

The following information shall be submitted with the final map: names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the record owners, subdivider, and person preparing the final map.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8434)

The final map shall conform to the provisions of Section 66456 et seq. of the Subdivision Map Act.

(Ord. 734 § 8, 1978: Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8435)

A.

Preliminary Report. Prior to the submission of the final map, pursuant to this chapter, the subdivider shall file with the city engineer a preliminary soil report, prepared by a state-registered civil engineer, based upon adequate test borings or excavations of every subdivision as defined in this title. The city engineer may waive such soil report if he determines that, due to his knowledge or the knowledge of his department of the soil qualities of said subdivision, no preliminary analysis is required.

B.

Investigation. If the preliminary soil report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil problems which, if not corrected, would lead to defects in structures erected thereon, a soil investigation of each lot in the subdivision shall be prepared by a state-registered civil engineer. Said investigation shall recommend corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling proposed to be constructed on the expansive soil. The report shall be filed with the city engineer.

C.

Approval Investigation. The city engineer shall approve the soil investigation if in his judgment he determines that the recommended corrective action is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed on each lot in the subdivision. Any subdivider aggrieved by the city engineer's determination may appeal therefrom to the city council, and the decision of the city council shall be final. Any building permit issued for any dwelling proposed to be built in said subdivision shall be conditioned upon the incorporation of the approved recommended corrective action in the construction of each such dwelling.

(Ord. 636 § 2, 1968: prior code § 8438)

No land shall be subdivided on any single map when such land is separated or divided into two or more portions by any other parcel of land other than a street, highway, public way, railroad, or public utility or flood-control right-of-way.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8436)

Evidence determining boundaries, such stakes, monuments or other evidence determining the boundaries of the subdivision as were found on the ground, together with sufficient designations of adjoining subdivisions by lot and tract number and page or record, or by section, township and range or other proper legal description as may be necessary, to locate precisely the limits of the subdivision, shall be clearly and fully shown on the final map.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437)

A.

Boundary. Each final map shall show durable monuments of not less than two-inch steel pipe at least twenty-four inches long found or set at or near each boundary corner and at intermediate points not more than one thousand feet apart, or at such lesser distance as may be necessary by topography or culture to ensure accuracy in reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty. The precise position and character of each monument shall be shown on the final map. Where the elevation of the top of each such monument is not approximately level with the surface of the ground, its relative position shall be indicated.

B.

Centerline. Complete centerline data, including lengths of tangents and semitangents shall be shown on the map for all streets within or adjoining the tract where no official centerline has been previously established. In locations where the point of intersection falls on private property, chords shall be shown instead of semitangents.

C.

Deferment. In the event any or all of the monuments required to be set are to be set subsequent to the recordation of the final map, the map shall indicate which monuments are to be so set. All such monuments so deferred shall be agreed to be set and furnished by the subdivider. Such agreement and guarantee shall be filed with the city manager.

D.

Geodetic Controls. Ties to the geodetic triangulation system shall be provided where stations thereof have been established within reasonable distance from the subdivision boundary, and where such ties are deemed necessary by the city engineer.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.1)

The procedure and practice of all survey work done on any subdivision shall conform to the accepted standards of the engineering and surveying professions. The final map shall close in all its parts. In the event the city engineer has established the centerline of any street or alley in or adjoining a subdivision, the

final map shall show such centerline together with the references to a field book or map showing such centerline and the monuments which determine its position. If determined by ties, that fact shall be stated upon the final map. Where the map does not show centerline monuments or other monuments necessary to resurvey the streets or lots within a subdivision or where reference monuments not shown are needed to establish centerlines or corners, the civil engineer or surveyor under whose supervision the survey has been made shall furnish the city engineer with field notes showing these monuments in a form satisfactory to the city engineer.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.2)

A.

Basis. The final map shall indicate thereon the basis of bearings, making reference to some recorded subdivision map or other record acceptable to the city engineer. The final map shall have as the basis of bearings a line based on the geodetic triangulation system where ties to said system are deemed feasible by the city engineer.

B.

Distances. The bearings and length of each lot line, block line, and boundary line shall be shown on the final map. Each required bearing and distance shall be shown in full, and no ditto mark or other designation for repetition shall be used.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.3)

16.24.120 - Lot numbers.

The lots shall be numbered consecutively commencing with the number "1," except as otherwise provided in this title, with no omissions or duplications. Each numbered lot shall be shown entirely on one sheet.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.4)

The length, radius, total central angle, and bearings of terminal radii of each curve, the bearings of each radial line to each lot corner on curve, and the central angle of each segment of each curve within each lot shall be shown on the final map.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.5)

A.

Lines. The final map shall show all the necessary data, including width and side lines, of all easements to which the lots in the subdivision are subject. If the easement is not definitely located on record, a statement as to the identity of the easement shall appear on the title sheet.

B.

Designation. Easements, both public and private, shall be denoted by broken lines.

C.

Identification. Each easement shall be clearly labeled and identified and, if already of record, proper references to the records given. Easements being dedicated shall be so indicated in the certificate of dedication.

D.

Obstructions. Before final approval of any subdivision map, the city may require any or all easements to be cleared of all obstructions.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.6)

City boundary lines crossing or abutting the subdivision shall be clearly designated and tied in.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.7)

16.24.160 - Natural watercourse designations.

In the event that a dedication of right-of-way for flood control or storm drainage is not required, the location of any natural watercourse shall be shown on the final map, unless such natural watercourse, channel, stream or creek is shown on the grading plans approved by the city engineer to be filed or otherwise eliminated by the grading of the tract.

(Ord. 575 § 2 (part), 1964: prior code § 8437.8)
