Sections:
14.18.030 Filing with the county clerk.
14.18.040 Ties to horizontal control – Digital map submission.
14.18.010 Final map required.
A. The requirements and procedures set forth in this chapter and any other applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the subdivision manual shall govern for the processing and approval of final tract maps and final parcel maps. When a subdivision is proposed to be created through the tentative map process, a final tract map or a final parcel map shall be filed with the director for recording with the county clerk/county recorder and the county survey or pursuant to California Government Code Section 66466. No proposed subdivision shall be complete until such final map has been filed for recording. The advisory agency or the director may require additional information to be filed or recorded simultaneously with the final map. The additional information shall be in the form of an additional map sheet which shall indicate its relationship to the map and contain a statement that the additional information is for informational purposes.
B. A final parcel map within commercial or industrial zones identifying lease lines or lines for tax purposes may be filed for record with the county clerk/county recorder without being required to comply with the tentative parcel map requirements of this title. 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 a map. Identification shall be shown on the face of such map indicating that it does not create building sites and that it does not permit transfer of fee title interest. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
14.18.020 Method of approval.
A. The final map, together with any required improvement agreements and security required by Chapter 14.14 AVMC, shall be submitted to the director, who shall examine the map within 20 days of receipt thereof. If the director is satisfied that the map is technically correct and conforms to the approved tentative tract or parcel map and any conditions imposed thereon, the director shall execute the certificate required by the Subdivision Map Act and transmit the final map to the city clerk for presentation to the city council for approval.
B. In the event the director determines that the subdivision is not in compliance or substantial conformance with the approved tentative map, the director shall, within 10 days of the date the final map was submitted, advise the subdivider in writing of his/her preliminary determination. The subdivider may appeal the director’s determination to the advisory agency. [Ord. 2012-141 § 11; Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].

14.18.030 Filing with the county clerk.
The city clerk shall transmit the approved final map to the county recorder for recordation, unless the director or subdivider requests an alternate time schedule for recordation. It shall be the obligation of the subdivider to cause a copy of the approved final map to be filed with the county surveyor in accordance with California Government Code Section 66466(f). [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
14.18.040 Ties to horizontal control – Digital map submission.
A. The director will provide coordinated positions in the vicinity of each new parcel map by tying the section, quarter section, rancho, or other appropriate land net corners or road centerlines, on an approximately one-half-mile grid convenient for proper coordinate tie-in of such map boundaries, to the existing monuments of, and, where possible, intervisible with the local control network, and by calculating and adjusting coordinates for these corners using the California Coordinate System based on the North American Datum (“NAD”) of 1983, 1990 Adjustment, or current adjustment as directed by the director.
B. All data pertaining to these control monuments will be filed in accordance with the requirements of the Land Surveyors Act and these records shall be indexed and made readily available to the general public.
C. The city shall require the surveyor or engineer preparing the parcel map to show, on the parcel map, those ties made by the surveyor or engineer to such control monuments in accordance with California Public Resources Code Section 8813. The coordinates published by the city for these control monuments shall also be shown on the map.
D. The surveyor or engineer preparing the parcel map shall be permitted to show, on any record of survey submitted for filing, the information presented above, when the normal course of survey activities includes ties made to points for which coordinates have been provided or accepted into the control network by the city, and when such information may be shown pursuant to the requirements of the California Public Resources Code.
E. The city shall require the surveyor or engineer preparing the parcel map to tie the boundary of said map into the California Coordinate System (NAD 83) in at least two locations, preferably on opposite sides of the boundary or as mutually agreed to by the surveyor or engineer and the director.
F. The basis of bearings of the parcel map shall be the California Coordinate System (NAD 83), 1990 Adjustment or current adjustment as directed by the director as established by the use of existing monuments, Global Positioning System surveys (GPS), or by astronomic observation.
G. In the event that the director is unable to provide the surveyor or engineer preparing the parcel map with coordinated monuments as described in subsection (A) of this section, within 30 days of a written request filed by the surveyor or engineer relating to any map which is or will be processed by the director, the foregoing requirements would be waived. However, none of the above will preclude a person, authorized to practice land surveying within the state of California, from performing the necessary work to meet the requirements of this section.
H. The director shall require the surveyor or engineer preparing a parcel map to submit to the city, in addition to the material currently being submitted for map checking and recordation purposes, a digital graphics file containing the boundary, street centerline, right-of-way and lot/parcel line data necessary to facilitate transferring of the file into the city mapping system if the surveyor or engineer has the capability to provide such files. If the surveyor or engineer does not have this capability, the city will create such a graphics file for entry into its system and recover the cost through the map check process.
I. If the boundary of the parcel map being submitted is a parcel or lot of a map already tied to the California Coordinate System (NAD 83), 1990 Adjustment or current adjustment as directed by the director, the requirements in subsection (E) of this section shall be waived.
J. In the event the surveyor or engineer submitting a parcel map to the city feels that compliance with the requirements stated in subsections (C), (E), (F), and (H) of this section will create a hardship, he or she may submit a request to the director to waive such requirements. [Ord. 2010-126 § 1 (Exh. A)].
