compiled from recorded or filed data when sufficient survey information exists on field maps to locate and retrace the exterior boundary lines of the parcel map if the location of at least one of these boundary lines can be established from an existing monumented line. The boundary of the subdivision shall be indicated on the final or parcel map by a distinctive line and/or symbols, clearly designated.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

The final or parcel map shall show all survey and mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments thereon, including bearing and distance of straight lines and central angle, radius, and arc length of curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of the curves.

The final or parcel map shall show the limits of high water coverage based upon a one-hundred-yearfrequency storm, with a fine continuous line if the subdivision includes or is adjacent to areas subject to periodic inundation, and the use of such areas may be required to be restricted by a covenant of restrictions.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

A.

The final or parcel map shall fully and clearly show what stakes, monuments or other evidence to determine the boundaries of the subdivision were found on the ground, and the adjacent corners of each adjoining subdivision or portion thereof, by lot and block numbers, tract name or number and place of record, by section, township and range, or other proper designation.

D.

In making the survey for the subdivision, the engineer or surveyor shall set "permanent" monuments at all angle and curve points on the exterior boundaries of the subdivision, in all street intersections, at all angle points of street lines, and at all curved points, both simple and compound, of street lines. "Permanent" monuments at street intersections and at angle and curved points of street lines shall set on street centerlines, unless otherwise directed by the city engineer; provided, however, that the "permanent" monuments need not be set at intervals of less than four hundred feet.

E.

The "permanent" monument shall be set in the ground upright with the metal marker centered in the concrete, by excavating a six-inch minimum diameter hole two feet below the finished grade and pouring the same full of concrete. When streets are required to be paved, the location of such monument and access thereto shall be given by a suitable concrete or cast iron sliding sleeve surmounted by a circular cast iron frame and lid at street surface.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

Such other affidavits, certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements, and notarial seals as are required by law and by this title shall be completed and/or furnished by the subdivider.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

A.

Upon acceptance of the final map or parcel map and accompanying documents as property of the city, fees and materials for filing, the city engineer shall cause the same to be examined and if found to be in substantial conformity with the approved tentative map and all amendments, conditions, modifications and

provisions made or required by the planning commission, and if found to be complete, technically correct, in conformity with improvement plans and specifications, and in compliance with the requirements of this title, planned street lines and other applicable specific plans and ordinances, shall file said map with the city clerk. No map shall be certified until the required improvements have been installed in accordance with Chapters 16.21 and 16.24 of this title. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, the on-site improvements for the unimproved parcels shown on a parcel map may be constructed after the final parcel map is filed for record, but prior to the issuance of a permit or other grant of approval for the development of such parcel. In such instance, the final or parcel map shall contain a statement setting forth all on-site and off-site improvements which must be constructed prior to further parcel development.

B.

Should the map or other accompanying documents, fees or materials be found to be incomplete or incorrect in any respect, the subdivider shall be advised, in writing, by mail, of the changes or additions that must be made before the map may be certificated. If the defect is the result of a technical and inadvertent error, which does not materially affect the validity of the map, the city engineer may waive the defect and execute his/her certificate of approval.

C.

The city engineer need not approve final map or parcel map which is substantially similar to the approved tentative map if, in his/her opinion, circumstances concerning the design and improvement of the subdivision, as they relate to the public health, safety and welfare, having materially changed since approval of the tentative map, and such changed circumstances warrant reconsideration thereof. In such instance, they shall return the map to the planning commission for further consideration.

D.

The final or parcel map shall not be considered filed for action by the council until the city engineer has completed action required of him/her by this section.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

At its first regular meeting following the filing of the final or parcel map with the city clerk as set forth in this title, the city council shall consider said map, the plan of subdivision, and the offers of dedication. If the city council determines that said map is in conformity with the requirements of this title, that it is satisfied with the plans of subdivision, it shall approve said map. At the time the city council approves a final map, it shall also accept, subject to improvement, or reject any offer of dedication. The city clerk shall certify on the map the action by the city council.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

If, at any time of approval of the final map by the city council, any public improvements required by the city pursuant to the provisions of this title have not been completed and accepted in accordance with city

standards applicable at the time of the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, the city council, as a condition precedent to the approval of the final map, shall require the subdivider to enter into an agreement with the city upon mutually agreeable terms to thereafter complete such improvements at the subdivider's expense, within the time specified in the agreement, which time shall in no event exceed twelve months from the date thereof. Such agreement shall be secured by improvement security in the amount and form set forth in this title.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

If the city council determines either that said map is not in conformity with the requirements of this title or those of the Subdivision Map Act, it shall disapprove said map, specifying its reason therefor and the city clerk shall, in writing, advise the subdivider of such disapproval, and of the reason or reasons for such disapproval. Within thirty days after the city council has disapproved any map, the subdivider may file with the planning department, a map altered to meet the approval of the city council. In such case, the city engineer shall review the altered map for conformance with the requirements of the city council and shall then submit the altered map to the city council for its approval along with a certificate that the altered map is technically correct. No final map shall have any force or effect until the same has been approved by the city council and no offer of dedication shall be accepted until the city clerk has recorded said map with the Tehama County recorder.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

When the city council has approved the final map as set forth in this title, the city clerk shall record the same with the Tehama County recorder.

(Ord. 550 (part), 1994).

After a final map or parcel map is filed in the office of the Tehama County recorder, such a recorded map may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map, in the discretion of the city council, if the city council finds that (1) there are changes in circumstances which make any or all of the conditions of such map no longer appropriate or necessary, and (2) the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property, and (3) the modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map, and (4) the map as modified conforms to the requirements for such maps imposed by this code and by state law. The subdivider shall apply for an amendment under this section by filing an application with the planning department setting forth all of the amendments proposed to be made and addressing specifically all of the findings set forth above. Upon receipt of an application under this section, it shall immediately be set for a public hearing at the next council meeting allowing compliance with the notice provisions of Government Code Section 66451.3. The council may, by resolution, set fees to be charged for this application pursuant to Government Code Section 66451.2.
