A. Materials. The map shall be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process assuring a permanent record in black on durable, transparent material. All lines, letters, figures, certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments shall be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with waterproof opaque ink. If ink is used on polyester base film, the ink surface shall be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility. The map shall be made and shall be in such condition when filed so that legible prints may be made from it. An eight-and-one-half-inch by eleven-inch reduced copy of each sheet shall be delivered to the city engineer or supplied electronically.

B. Size and Scale. Each sheet of the final subdivision map shall be eighteen inches by twenty-six inches, with a marginal line drawn on all sides, leaving a one-inch blank margin. The map shall be to a minimum scale of one inch equals one hundred feet, and with all lettering a minimum of one-eighth inch, unless otherwise approved by the city engineer. Drafting symbols shall be as shown in the standard details adopted by the city.

C. Sheet Key. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining street shall be clearly shown.

D. Miscellaneous Data. Each sheet of the final subdivision map shall state the number and name, if any, of the subdivision, the scale, and north point.

E. Survey Data. The map shall show all survey data necessary to locate all monuments and to locate or retrace all interior and exterior boundary lines, lot lines, and block lines appearing on the final map, including bearings and distances, to the nearest one-hundredth foot, of straight lines, and radii and arc lengths or chord bearings and lengths for all curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves and ties to existing monuments used to establish subdivision boundaries.

F. Monuments. The map shall show monuments found or set in the manner described in subsection E of this section.

G. Vicinity Map. The final subdivision map shall show the definite location of the subdivision, particularly in relation to surrounding surveys.

H. Lot Numbering. Lots shall be numbered consecutively beginning with the numeral “1” and continuing without omission or duplication throughout the entire subdivision. No prefix or suffix or combination of letters and numbers shall be used. Each lot shall be shown entirely on one sheet.

I. Blocks. Blocks shall not be designated by number or letter.

J. Lot Area. The area of each lot containing one acre or more shall be shown to the nearest one-hundredth acre; the area of each lot containing less than one acre shall be shown to the nearest square foot. The total acreage within the subdivision shall be stated on the parcel or final map.

K. Boundary Lines. The boundary lines of the subdivision shall be clearly identified and emphasized by appropriate line weight. The tract boundary shall be based on record data on file at the office of the county recorder and must be reestablished by methods commonly accepted in the field of surveying and in accordance with state law. The method of survey shall be clearly indicated on the final map. Any city boundary crossing or adjoining the subdivision shall be shown on the map.

L. Easements. The centerline or side lines of each easement to which the lots in the subdivision are subject shall be shown upon the final subdivision map. If such easement cannot be definitely located from the records, a statement showing the existence of such easement shall be placed on the title sheet of the map and the approximate location shall be shown. All easements shall be designated on the final map by fine dotted lines. Each easement shall be clearly labeled, identified and marked as to nature and purpose, and, if already of record, its record reference shall be shown. If not of record, a statement of such easement shall be placed on the title sheet of the final map. If such easement is being dedicated by the final map, it shall be properly set out in the owner’s certificate and dedication on the title sheet of the map.

M. Streets and Rights-of-Way. Each street, or other public way or public utility right-of-way within the boundaries of the subdivision, shall be shown on the final subdivision map. The centerline and width of each street shall be shown and, in the case of a proposed street or way, the width of that portion to be dedicated, if any, shall also be shown. On each centerline, the bearing and length of each tangent and radius central angle and length of each curve shall be indicated.

N. Centerlines. In the event the city public works division, State Highway Engineer or county engineer shall have established the centerline of any street in or adjoining the subdivision, such centerline shall be shown and the monuments which determine its position indicated with reference to a field book or map showing such centerline. If such position is determined by ties, that fact shall also be indicated on the map.

O. Future Streets. The location, width and extent of future streets and alleys shall be shown on the final subdivision map and shall be offered for dedication as public streets by a dedicatory clause conforming to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act.

P. Private Streets. Any street or way which is intended to be kept physically closed to public travel or posted as a private street at all times may be shown as a private street. Any such private street shown on the map shall be indicated by heavy dashed lines. Sufficient data shall be shown on each private street to define its boundaries and to show clearly the portion of each lot within such street. In order to provide for utility service to individual lots, such streets may be offered and accepted as public utility easements.

Q. Street Names. The names for streets and highways within the subdivision shall be shown on the final map spelled out in full and including suffixes such as “road,” “street,” “avenue,” “place,” “court” or other designations.

R. Watercourses. All watercourses, storm drains and areas subject to inundation during a one-hundred-year storm shall be outlined and marked on the map. Elevations of floodwater based on city datum shall be noted on the map. All other natural watercourses or bodies of water shall also be delineated. The top of bank for watercourses and the extent of any riparian vegetation along the watercourses shall be shown, based on a field survey.

S. Historic and Cultural Resource Areas. The final subdivision map shall show the footprint of all structures of historic and cultural significance and the extent of any archaeological surface surveys prepared for the site, together with the survey reference number.

T. Endangered Species. The final subdivision shall note the presence and extent of any rare, threatened, or endangered plant or animal species listed in Section 670.2 or 670.5, Title 14, California Administrative Code, or in 50 CFR § 17.11 or 17.12, pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act.

U. Hazard Areas. If any part of an area to be subdivided, lot or parcel, is subject to flood hazard, inundation, or geological hazard, or located in a fault zone, it shall be clearly shown on the final map by a prominent note on each sheet whereon such conditions exist.

V. Not a Part. All areas shown on the final subdivision map which do not constitute a part of the subdivision shall be labeled “not a part of this subdivision” or “N.A.P.O.T.S.” All lines delineating those areas shall be dashed.

W. Remainder. When a subdivision is of a portion of any unit or units of improved or unimproved land, the map may designate as a remainder that portion which is not divided for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing. Such designated remainder parcel need not be indicated as a matter of survey, but only by deed reference to existing boundaries of such remainder if such remainder has a cross-area of five acres or more. If so designated, such remainder parcel shall be treated as set out in Section 66424.6 of the Subdivision Map Act or its successor section, as it may be amended from time to time.
