Chapter 16.12 — FINAL MAPS

• A. If the tentative map is approved, the subdivider shall, within nine months cause the proposed subdivision to be accurately surveyed in accordance with the tentative map and with any and all alterations or changes required therewith. Within such period and when all the certificates which are required on the final map (except the approval certificate of the clerk of the city council) have been signed, and where necessary acknowledged, the subdivider may file with the city council for approval a final map of the subdivision conforming in all particulars to the provisions of all laws of the state controlling subdivisions.

• B. At any time prior to the filing of such final map the subdivider shall file with the director of public works the following:

  1. Four prints of such final map;

  2. A statement as to the nature and type of the improvements by this chapter required to be constructed in said subdivision, together with the necessary set of complete plans, profiles, details and specifications for such improvements.

• C. The city council shall, at its next meeting approve such map if the same conforms to all the requirements of this chapter.

• (Prior code § 21.6)

The failure of a subdivider to file a final map with the city council in time for action thereon as provided in this title and to record such map within nine months from the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map by the council shall automatically terminate all proceedings unless an extension of time has previously been granted.

(Prior code § 21.7)

No final map shall be presented to the council of the city for approval until the subdivider either completes the required improvements, or enters into a contract with the city agreeing to do such work, and files with the city clerk a surety bond approved by the city attorney in such an amount as the city council shall estimate and determine to be necessary to complete all the improvements required to be done by the subdivider as principal, and a corporation authorized to so act under the laws of the state, as surety, the same to be payable to the city, and to be conditioned upon the faithful performance of any and all work required to be done by the subdivider, and such bond shall be further conditioned to the effect that should the subdivider fail to complete all work required to be done by him within a specified reasonable time and to maintain the same for a period of 12 months after completion and acceptance by the city council, the city may, at its option, cause all uncompleted required work to be done and the parties executing the bond shall be firmly bound for the payment of all necessary costs therefor; or in lieu of a surety bond the subdivider may post security as provided in the subdivision map act of the state. (Prior code § 21.8)

The subdivider shall furnish the director of public works copies of the field notes, traverse sheets and all other data necessary to ascertain that the final map is technically correct. When the copies of the final map are presented to the director of public works as required herein, the subdivider shall pay to the director of planning commission a fee of $25 plus one dollar ($1.00) per lot for each lot shown on the final map, to cover the cost of checking the information indicated on the final map. (Prior code § 21.9)
