Fremont Municipal Code Art. II Parcel Maps

The preparation of a parcel map shall conform to the same requirements as prescribed for final maps pursuant to Sections 17.15.030, 17.15.050 and 17.15.060. (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75. 1990 Code § 8-1324.)

The parcel map shall be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor, and shall be based upon a field survey made in conformity with the Land Surveyors Act. The map may be compiled from recorded or filed data when said data is approved by the city engineer indicating that sufficient survey information exists on filed maps to locate and retrace the exterior boundary lines of the parcel map, and if the location of at least one of these boundary lines can be established from an existing monumented line. The recording information for such data shall be shown on the parcel map.

A registered engineer or licensed land surveyor intending to file a parcel map compiled from recorded or filed data shall submit two sets of such data to the city engineer for his/her review at the time of filing the parcel map. (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75; amended during 2012 reformat. 1990 Code § 8-1325.)

An accurate and complete boundary shall be made of the land to be included on the parcel map. The boundary of the parcel map shall be indicated by a one-half-inch dash and three dot line approximately one-sixteenth of an inch wide. The map shall show the location of each parcel and its relation to surrounding surveys. The location of any remainder of the original parcel shall be indicated, but need not be indicated as a matter of survey but only by deed reference to the existing record boundaries of such remainder if such remainder has a gross area of five acres or more. (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75; Ord. 1231 § 6, 2-21-78; Ord. 1659 § 2, 5-7-85. 1990 Code § 8-1326.)

Each parcel created and enclosed within the parcel map boundary shall be numbered beginning with the numeral “1” and continue consecutively throughout the map, with no omissions or duplications. (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75. 1990 Code § 8-1327.)

(a) The title of each sheet of the parcel map shall consist of the parcel number of the map followed by the words “City of Fremont.”

(b) All streets, easements and parcels shall be clearly defined and dimensions for all sides and widths indicated.

(c) Where access rights are required to be dedicated, a certificate prohibiting access over the sidelines of the thoroughfare shall be placed on the map.

(d) Private streets, when permitted, shall be shown and any conditions as to use, installation and/or other restrictions shall be indicated. (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75. 1990 Code § 8-1328.)

The map shall show fully and clearly all monuments as required by the city engineer. The monuments required include but are not limited to street, alley, and way center lines at the intersections with other streets, alleys, and ways and at the map boundary line. Street center line monuments shall also be located at the beginning and end of curves or at the point of intersection of tangents thereof.

The subdivider shall as a condition of approval of the parcel map provide such security necessary to assure the installation of all required monuments in conjunction with the installation of street improvements. When street improvements are not a condition of approval of the parcel map, all required monuments shall be installed within 90 days after the recordation of the parcel map. The street center line monument and installation shall be as required for final maps. (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75. 1990 Code § 8-1329.)

A certificate, signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the real property being subdivided, consenting to the preparation and recordation of the parcel map is required except:

(a) In cases in which it would not be required for a final map pursuant to Section 17.15.150; and

(b) With respect to a division of land into four or fewer parcels, where dedications or offers of dedication are not required, in which case the certificate shall be signed and acknowledged by the subdivider only.

If the subdivider does not have a record title ownership interest in the property to be divided, the subdivider shall provide the city with satisfactory evidence that the persons with record title ownership have consented to the proposed subdivision.

The city engineer shall have the same responsibility with respect to parcel maps that the city council has with respect to final maps pursuant to Section 17.15.150(d)(1). (Ord. 1050 § 1, 6-10-75; Ord. 1231 § 7, 2-21-78; Ord. 1569 § 5, 9-13-83. 1990 Code § 8-1330.)

The following certificate shall appear on the parcel map:
