A. Definition. For purposes of this Code, the term “final map” shall encompass both final tract maps and final parcel maps. The procedures for filing and processing of final parcel maps shall be the same as those set forth in this chapter for a final tract map.
B. Final Maps. After the approval or conditional approval of a tentative tract or tentative parcel map, the subdivider may cause the real property included within the map, or any part thereof, to be surveyed and a final map prepared and filed with the City Engineer in accordance with the approved or conditionally approved tentative map. Final maps shall be filed prior to expiration of the applicable tentative map, as required in Chapter 19.16 (Tentative Map Expiration and Extension).
C. Form and Content. The form and content of final maps shall be as specified in California Government Code Sections 66433 through 66450, as administered and interpreted by the City Engineer. (Ord. 2023-22 § 858, 2023; Ord. 2001-18 § 2 (Exh. ZA-1) (part), 2001)
19.56.020 Final Map Application (California Government Code Sections 66433 – 66450).
A. Filing. Final maps shall be filed with the City Engineer. The required number of copies of the final map shall be as promulgated in writing by the City Engineer.
B. Supporting Materials. The City Engineer may require plans, data, reports, certifications, acknowledgements and other documentation that the City Engineer deems necessary to process the final map. Such documentation shall include, but shall not be limited to, improvement plans and specifications, improvement agreements and security and statements from applicable utilities of ability to serve the subdivision.
C. Application Fee. The final map shall be accompanied by the required application fee(s), as established by resolution of the City Council. Such fees shall not exceed the amount reasonably required to administer the provisions of this title. (Ord. 2023-22 § 859, 2023; Ord. 2001-18 § 2 (Exh. ZA-1) (part), 2001)
19.56.030 Completeness of Application (California Government Code Section 65943).
A. Determination of Completeness. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a final map application, the City Engineer shall determine whether the application is complete and shall immediately transmit the determination in writing to the applicant. If the written determination of completeness is not made within thirty (30) days after receipt of the application and the application includes a statement that it is an application for a development permit, the application shall be deemed complete for purposes of this title.
B. Reasons for Incompleteness. If an application is determined to be not complete, the notification to the subdivider shall identify those parts of the application which are incomplete and shall indicate the manner in which they can be made complete. Other details regarding determination of completeness of subdivision applications shall be in accordance with California Government Code Section 65943. (Ord. 2023-22 § 860, 2023; Ord. 2001-18 § 2 (Exh. ZA-1) (part), 2001)
19.56.040 Dedications (California Government Code Sections 66439, 66447).
All streets, highways, rights-of-way, easements and land shown on the final map for public use or required by tentative map condition of approval shall be offered for dedication to the City or to another appropriate public agency. Dedications shall be offered either on the final map itself or by separate instrument. Streets or portions of streets may be offered for future dedication where the immediate opening and/or improvement is not required but where the City determines it is necessary to provide for future street dedication to serve further development of the area or adjacent areas. (Ord. 2023-22 § 861, 2023; Ord. 2001-18 § 2 (Exh. ZA-1) (part), 2001)
19.56.050 Survey and Monumentation (California Government Code Sections 66434, 66495 et seq.).
Survey and monumentation for final maps shall be carried out in accordance with California Government Code Sections 66434 and 66495 et seq., and the requirements of City Design Criteria to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. In addition, all surveys shall tie into the County’s grid system and Geographic Information System monuments. (Ord. 2023-22 § 862, 2023; Ord. 2001-18 § 2 (Exh. ZA-1) (part), 2001)
19.56.060 Multiple Final Maps (California Government Code Sections 66456.1, 66463.1).
A. Notification. Multiple final maps within a subdivision may be filed prior to the expiration of a tentative map if:
1. The subdivider, at the time the tentative map is filed, informs the City of the subdivider’s intention to file multiple final maps on the tentative map; or
2. After filing of the tentative map, the City and the subdivider concur in the filing of multiple final maps.
B. No Requirement for Definition of Number of Final Maps. In providing such notice of multiple final maps, the subdivider shall not be required to define the number or configuration of the proposed multiple final maps and the filing of a final map on a portion of an approved tentative map shall not invalidate any part of such tentative map. The right of a subdivider to file multiple final maps shall not limit the authority of the City to impose reasonable conditions relating to the filing of multiple final maps. (Ord. 2023-22 § 863, 2023; Ord. 2001-18 § 2 (Exh. ZA-1) (part), 2001)
