A. The procedure and practice for the survey of any land subject to a final map or parcel map shall conform to the standard practices and principles of land surveying, the California Land Surveyor’s Act, and the requirements of this title. All documents related to the survey shall be signed by a California-licensed land surveyor.

B. In surveying the subdivision, the surveyor shall set sufficient monuments so that any part of the survey may be readily retraced. Survey monuments shall be set by the engineer or surveyor for all new subdivisions requiring a final map or parcel map. The standards and specifications for location, quantity, form, and installation of monuments shall be as provided in the City’s Improvement Standards.

C. Interior monuments need not be set at the time the final map or parcel map is recorded, if the surveyor certifies on the map that the monuments will be set on or before a specified later date and if the subdivider enters into a subdivision improvement agreement and provides security guaranteeing the payment of the cost of setting such monuments as provided in EGMC Chapter 22.24 (Improvements).
