Tehachapi Municipal Code Ch. 17.22 Final Tract Map

A. The final parcel map shall be prepared by, or under the direction of, a registered civil engineer authorized to do land surveying or licensed land surveyor.

B. Such map may be based either upon a field survey made in conformity with the Land Surveyor's Act or be compiled from recorded or filed data when sufficient survey information exists on filed maps to locate and retrace the exterior boundary lines of the parcel map if the location of at least one of these boundary lines can be established from an existing monumented line.

A. The final parcel map shall show the location of streets and property lines bounding the property.

B. The final parcel map shall be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth on polyester-base film. Certificates may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. If ink is used on polyester-base film, the ink surface shall be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility.

C. The size of each sheet shall be eighteen by twenty-six inches. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map shall be large enough to show all details clearly and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end.

The location of any remainder of the original parcel need not be shown as a matter of survey but only by deed reference to the existing record boundaries if such remainder has a gross area of five acres or more.

G. The title of each final parcel map shall consist of a parcel map number as secured from the appropriate county agency conspicuously placed at the top of the sheet.
