The content and form of parcel maps shall be governed by the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the subdivision manual.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

(a)

When a subdivision is proposed to be created through the tentative parcel map process, a final parcel map shall be filed for record with the county recorder. No proposed subdivision shall be complete until such parcel map has been filed for record.

(b)

A final parcel map, within commercial or industrial zoned areas, identifying lease lines or lines for tax purposes may be filed for record with the county recorder without being required to comply with the tentative parcel map requirements of this article. Each parcel on such map shall be identified by letter and shall not be considered to be a separate building site. No transfers of fee title may be made in connection with such map. Identification shall be shown on the face of such map as to its purpose that it does not create building sites and that it does not permit transfer of fee title interest.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

(a)

When dedications or offers of dedications are made on the final parcel map, all parties having any record title interest in the real property being subdivided shall consent to the preparation and recordation of the final parcel map by signing the required certificate. Such signatures shall be properly acknowledged. The certificate need not be signed by public entities and public utilities which own rights-of-way, easements or other interests which cannot ripen into a fee, provided that:

(1)

The planning commission determines that division and development of the property in the manner set forth on the map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity or public utility right-of-way or easement.

(2)

The map contains a statement that the planning commission has determined that the division and development of the property in the manner set forth on the map will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of the public entity or public utility right-of-way or easement.

(3)

The public entity or utility has been given the opportunity to object to such a determination in accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act.

(b)

When dedications or offers of dedications are not being made, no owner's or subdivider's signatures shall be required on the parcel map.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

(a)

Final parcel map. The final parcel map shall be submitted to the city engineer, who shall examine the map within 20 days of receipt thereof. If the city engineer is satisfied that the map is technically correct and conforms with the approved tentative parcel map and any conditions imposed thereon, he shall execute the certificate required by the Subdivision Map Act. Such certification by the city engineer shall constitute approval of the final parcel map.

(b)

Agreements and security. Whenever, as a condition of an approved tentative parcel map, agreements and/or security are required for installation of certain improvements, said agreements and security shall be approved by the city council.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

The surveyor/engineer/subdivider shall transmit the approved final parcel map to the county recorder for recordation.
