Siskiyou County Municipal Code Art. 11 Corrections and Amendments to Maps

After a final map or parcel map is filed in the office of the County Recorder, the map may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map:

(a) To correct an error in any course of distance shown thereon;

(b) To show any course or distance which was omitted therefrom;

(c) To correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the map;

(d) To indicate monuments set after the death, disability, or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities for setting monuments;

(e) To show the proper location of any monument which has been changed in location or character or originally was shown at the wrong location or incorrectly as to its character;

(f) To correct any other type of map error or omission, as approved by the County Surveyor, which does not affect any property right. Errors and omissions may include, but not be limited to, lot numbers, acreage, street names, and identification of adjacent record maps. "Error" does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not ascertainable from the data shown on the final or parcel map; and

(g) To make modifications when there are changes which make any or all of the conditions of the map no longer appropriate or necessary, and the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property, and the modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map.

The modification shall be set for a public hearing by the Planning Director according to Section 10-4.401.6.1 of Article 4 of this chapter or Section 10-4.501.5 of Article 5 of this chapter. The Planning Commission shall confine the hearing to the consideration of, and action on, the proposed modification.

The amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. The form and contents of the amending map shall conform to the requirements of Section 10-4.402 of Article 4 of this chapter if a final map or Section 10-4.502 of Article 5 of this chapter if a parcel map. The certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the corrections made and show the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the correction.

(§ II, Ord. 8 7-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

The amending map or certificate of correction, complete as to final form, shall be submitted to the County Surveyor for his review and approval.

The County Surveyor shall examine the amending map or certificate of correction, and, if the only changes made are those set forth in Section 10-4.1101 of this article, such fact shall be certified on the amending map or certificate of correction.

Upon such filing, the County Recorder shall index the names of the fee owners and the appropriate subdivision designation shown on the amending map or certificate of correction in the general index and map index respectively. The original map shall be deemed to have been conclusively so corrected and shall impart constructive notice of all the corrections in the same manner as though upon the original map.

(§ II, Ord. 87-2, eff. March 12, 1987)

The fees for checking, processing, and recording the amended map or certificate of correction shall be in accordance with the County's ordinance establishing fees and charges.
