16.14.130 Corrections or amendments.
A. Purpose. After a parcel or final map is filed in the office of the county recorder, the recorded map may be modified by a certificate of correction or an amending map in order to:
1. Correct an error in any course or distance shown; or
2. Show any course or distance that was previously omitted; or
3. Correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the map; or
4. Indicate monuments set after the death, disability or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities for setting monuments; or
5. Show the proper location or character of any monument which originally was shown at the wrong location or incorrectly as to its character; or
6. Correct any additional information filed or recorded pursuant to Government Code Section 66434.2, if the correction does not impose any additional burden on the present fee owners of the real property and does not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map; or
7. Correct any other type of map error or omission as approved by the county surveyor or the city public works department which does not affect any property right. Such errors and omissions may include, but are not limited to, lot numbers, acreage, street names, and the identification of adjacent record maps.
Note: As used in this section, “error” does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not ascertainable from the data shown on the parcel or final map.
B. Form and Content. The amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared and signed by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. An amending map shall conform to the requirements of Section 66434 of the Government Code if a final map, or Sections 66445(a) through (d) inclusive and 66445(f) through (i) inclusive if a parcel map. The amending map or certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the corrections made and the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the corrections.
C. Submittal. The application for an amending map or certificate of correction shall be submitted to the city public works department upon payment of appropriate fees and on forms provided by the city.
D. Certification. The city public works department shall examine the amending map or certificate of correction and if the only changes made are those set forth in subsection A of this section, describing the purpose for an amendment or correction, he or she shall certify this fact on the amending map or certificate of correction. Such certification shall not change any expiration dates.
E. Filing with County Recorder. After the amending map or certificate of correction has been certified by the city public works department, it shall be filed in the office of the county recorder.
F. Other Modifications. In addition to the amendments authorized by subsection A of this section, describing the purpose for amendments and corrections, the recorded parcel or final map may also be modified by a certificate of correction or amending map if:
1. There are changes in circumstances which make any or all of the conditions of the parcel or final map no longer appropriate or necessary; and
2. The modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owners of the property; and
3. The modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map; and
4. The city public works director and the community development director find that the map, as modified, conforms to the provisions of these regulations, the general plan and the Subdivision Map Act.
G. Public Hearing. For maps proposed for correction or amendment pursuant to subsection F of this section, the city public works department shall set the matter for public hearing before the legislative body or advisory agency that originally took final action on the project. Public notice of the hearing shall be given in accordance with Sections 65090 and 65091 of the California Government Code. The hearing shall be confined to consideration of and action on the proposed modifications. Approval of the proposed modifications shall not change any expiration dates. (Ord. 1729 § 4 (Exh. A), 2023)
