18.20 — FINAL MAP REQUIREMENTS

Whenever any tentative map has been approved or conditionally approved, the subdivider shall within 18 months from the date of such approval, or within such additional time as may have been granted, file with the city clerk a final map conforming to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this title, unless a waiver of a final parcel map has been granted in accordance with section 18.16.040.

(Code 1972, § 18.20.010; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)

Multiple final maps relating to an approved or conditionally approved tentative map may be filed prior to the expiration of the tentative map; provided, however, that the subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the city of his intention to file multiple final maps on such tentative map. In providing such notice, the subdivider shall not be required to define the number or configuration of the proposed multiple final maps; however, the city may impose reasonable conditions relating to the filing of such multiple final maps.

(Code 1972, § 18.20.020; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)

Final maps shall be prepared and shall contain such information as is required by chapter 2, article 2, of the Subdivision Map Act (commencing with section 66433); parcel maps shall be prepared and shall contain such information as is required by chapter 2, article 3, of the Subdivision Map Act (commencing with section 66444).

(Code 1972, § 18.20.030; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)

The owner or subdivider, at the time of filing the final map, shall also file therewith a letter or statement signed by a duly authorized title company doing business in the county, showing that the parties consenting to the making and filing of the map and making the dedications to public use thereby, are all the parties necessary to give clear title thereto, and no such final map shall be accepted or approved by the city council until such letter or statement is so filed. The existence of right-of-way for pipelines, or the existence of liens for taxes or special assessments not yet payable shall not prevent the acceptance or approval of such final map.

(Code 1972, § 18.20.040; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)

Prior to filing a final map, the certificates required by chapter 2, article 2 (commencing with section 66436) shall appear on the final map.

(Code 1972, § 18.20.050; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)

When the final map and all agreements, securities and other required documents have been submitted and found to be in correct form, the city engineer shall, within 20 days thereof, file the final map and documents with the city clerk, and shall certify that:

(1)

He has examined the map;

(2)

The subdivision as shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the tentative map, and any approved alterations thereof;

(3)

All provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and all city ordinances applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map have been complied with;

(4)

He is satisfied that the map is technically correct.

(Code 1972, § 18.20.060; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)

The city council shall, at the meeting at which it receives the map or, at its next regular meeting, approve the map if it conforms to all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and all city ordinances applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map and any rulings made thereunder, or, if it does not so conform, disapprove the map.

(Code 1972, § 18.20.070; Ord. No. 543, § 1(part), 1981)
