Sec. 21-9. - Form of final map and parcel map.

After the approval of the tentative map including tentative parcel map and urban lot split tentative parcel map by the decision-maker, the subdivider may cause a final or parcel map to be prepared. As many copies of the proposed final or parcel map as may be required by the county surveyor and other applicable county departments and agencies, shall be submitted to each department or agency responsible for approving or reviewing such map. The proposed final map shall be prepared in accordance with Article 2 of Chapter 2 of the State Subdivision Map Act and in accordance with the completed survey of the subdivision based upon a field survey of the boundaries of the subdivision made as required by law. The proposed parcel map shall be prepared in accordance with Article 3 of Chapter 2 of the State Subdivision Map Act and in accordance with the completed survey of the subdivision based upon a field survey or from compiled recorded data if authorized by the county surveyor.
