All parcel maps shall conform to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter and also shall conform to the requirements specified in the tentative parcel maps and the conditions of approval imposed by the city council. (Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.020 City engineer to approve parcel maps.
The city engineer shall not consider a parcel map unless there is a valid tentative parcel map for the subdivision. No parcel map shall be filed in the office of the county recorder until approved by the city engineer, but such map shall be disapproved only for failure to meet or perform requirements or conditions which were applicable to the subdivision at the time of approval of the tentative parcel map, providing that any such disapproval shall be accompanied by a finding identifying the requirements or conditions which have not been met or performed. The city engineer may waive any failure of the map to meet such requirements and conditions if such failure is a result of a technical and inadvertent error, which in the determination of the city engineer does not materially affect the validity of the map; provided, however, that the engineer may not waive compliance with any condition or requirement relating to the design or improvement of the subdivision. (Ord. 421 § 1, 2010; Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.025 City engineer to approve dedications in parcel maps.
Upon determination that all applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this code have been satisfied, the city engineer may accept or reject dedications or offers of dedication that are made by statement on the parcel map. (Ord. 421 § 2, 2010)
16.32.030 Land subject to inundation.
Lots or portions of lots shown on a parcel map which are subject to inundation as determined by the city engineer shall be identified and so labeled. (Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.040 Additional certificates on parcel maps.
In addition to the certificates and other material required by the Subdivision Map Act and this title, a parcel map shall bear the following certificates:
A. A certificate by the city engineer that the map complies with all the provisions of this title and conforms to the approved tentative parcel map or, in the case of a parcel map for a major subdivision filed pursuant to SBMC 16.20.050, to the approved tentative map;
B. A certificate by the city engineer that the map does not appear to be a map of a major subdivision for which a final map is required pursuant to Section 66426 of the Subdivision Map Act;
C. A certificate as required by SBMC 16.20.110(I); provided, however, with respect to a division of land into four or fewer parcels where dedications or offers of dedications are not required, the certificate shall be signed and acknowledged by the subdivider only; provided, however, where a subdivider does not have a record title ownership interest in the property to be divided, the city council may require that the subdivider provide him with satisfactory evidence that the persons with record title ownership have consented to the proposed division. For purposes of this subsection, “record title ownership” means fee title of record unless a leasehold interest is to be divided, in which case “record title ownership” means ownership of record of such leasehold interest; “record title ownership” does not include ownership of mineral rights or other subsurface interests which have been severed from ownership of the surface;
D. A dedication certificate as required by SBMC 16.20.110;
E. An engineer’s/surveyor’s statement, in accordance with Section 66449(a) of the Subdivision Map Act;
F. A recorder’s certificate or statement, in accordance with Section 66449(b) of the Subdivision Map Act;
G. A certificate signed by the city engineer attesting to his acceptance or rejection on behalf of the public of all dedications shown thereon;
H. A certificate by the engineer or surveyor responsible for preparation of the map stating that all monuments are of the character and occupy the positions indicated, or that they will be set in such positions on or before a specified date. The certificate shall also state that the monuments are, or will be, sufficient to enable the survey to be retraced. (Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.050 Title company subdivision guarantee.
There shall be filed with the city engineer a subdivision guarantee from a qualified title insurance company which guarantees that the parties named therein are the only parties having any record title interest in the land subdivided. The title company shall, on the date the parcel map will be transmitted to the county recorder, present to the county recorder, pursuant to the requirements of Section 66465 of the Subdivision Map Act, a letter stating that at the time of filing of the parcel map in the office of the county recorder, the parties consenting to such filing are all of the parties having a record title interest in the real property being subdivided whose signatures are required by Division 2 of Title 7 of the Government Code, as shown by the records in the office of the county recorder. (Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.060 Stamping or printing of certificates.
The affidavits, certificates, statements, acknowledgments and approvals required or permitted by this chapter or the Subdivision Map Act to appear upon parcel maps may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink in such a manner as will guarantee a permanent record in black upon the tracing cloth or polyester base film. If ink is used on polyester base film, the base surface shall be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility. (Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.070 Additional data on parcel maps.
Additional data on parcel maps shall be as listed in SBMC 16.20.060. (Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)

The city clerk shall transmit such maps directly to the county recorder unless otherwise required by Section 66464 of the Government Code. (Ord. 421 § 3, 2010; Ord. 101 Exh. A, 1989)
16.32.090 Survey data.
The provisions of SBMC 16.20.080 shall also apply to all parcel maps. (Ord. 339 § 2, 2005)
