3. Upon such title sheet the certificate of the surveyor or engineer referred to in Section 66449 or 66441 of the Subdivision Map Act shall appear. Also upon such title sheet, or upon at least one map sheet, shall appear the basis of bearings, marking reference to a recorded subdivision map, county surveyor’s map or other record acceptable to the city engineer, or to a solar or polaris observation.

4. Pursuant to Sections 66434 and 66445 of the Subdivision Map Act, certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments may be legibly stamped or printed upon the title sheet of the final map or parcel map with opaque ink. All stamped or written matter, including signatures, shall be so made with opaque ink that legible blue-line prints may be obtained therefrom.

1. Proposed streets;

2. Adjoining streets;

3. Proposed public areas;

4. Adjacent tracts, records of survey or parcel maps.

1. North arrow and graphic scale used shall be shown on each sheet except the title sheet. The graphic scale used shall not be less than one hundred feet to the inch.

2. The map on each sheet and the lettering thereon shall be so oriented that, with the North point direction away from the reader, the map may be read most conveniently from the bottom or lower right corner of such sheet, the binding edge to be at the left and lengthwise of the sheet, keeping in mind that the sheets are always on the right page of the map book, the left page being always blank.

3. Each sheet of a final map or parcel map, excepting the title sheet or sheets thereof, shall bear the main title of the map, the scale of the map, North point and street number together with a designation of the relation, if any, between each sheet and each other sheet thereof.

4. Additional information which does not affect record title interests shall be placed on a separate document or additional map sheet which shall indicate that it is for informational purposes and is not intended to affect record title interests. Such additional information may include, without limitation, building setback lines, flood hazard zones, seismic lines and setbacks, geologic mapping and archaeological sites. The final or parcel map shall contain a notation of reference to the separate document or additional map sheet.

1. All lots shall be numbered consecutively beginning with the number one with no omissions or duplications; provided, however, where the subdivision is a continuation of or an addition to an existing subdivision being the same tract number, the lot number shall commence with the number immediately following the last highest number of the existing subdivision and in all other respects conform to the proceeding requirements. Each lot shall be shown entirely on one sheet. No block numbers shall be used. The dimension of each lot shall be used. Lots shall show net acreage to the nearest hundredth or net square footage to the nearest square foot. The last lot number shall be circled.

1. All survey data shown on the map shall be determined by a field survey made in accordance with standard practices and principles for land surveying.

2. A traverse of the boundaries of the tract and all blocks must close within a limit of error not to exceed one foot in twenty thousand feet. A traverse of the interior lots of the tract must close within a limit of error not to exceed one foot in ten thousand feet.

3. The bearing and length of each lot line, block line and boundary line shall be shown on the final map or parcel map; provided, that when bearings and lengths of lot lines in any series of lots are the same, either the bearings or lengths may be omitted from each interior parallel lot line of such series. Each required bearing and length shall be shown in full, and no ditto mark or other designation of repetition shall be used. Bearings shall be shown to the nearest second and distances shall be shown to the nearest one-hundredth of a foot.

4. Each map shall use the California Coordinate system for its "basis of bearings" and shall express all measured and calculated bearing values in terms of said system. The angle of grid divergence from a true meridian (theta or mapping angle) and the North point of said map shall appear on each sheet thereof. Establishment of said basis of bearings may be by use of existing horizontal control stations or astronomic observations.

5. The length, radius and total central angle or bearings of terminal radii of each curve and the bearing of each radial line to each lot corner on each curve, or the central angle of each segment within each lot, shall be shown thereon.

6. Upon each lot containing an area of three-fourths of an acre or more shall be designated the acreage of such lot shown to the nearest one-hundredth of an acre.

7. Upon the final map or parcel map shall be shown on each city boundary line crossing or adjoining the division of land, and such line shall be clearly designated and tied in.

8. There shall be shown upon each final map or parcel map the centerline of each highway, street or way, the total width thereof, the width of that portion, if any, to be dedicated and, in the case of any existing highways, streets or ways, the width thereof, and the width of each highway, street or way on each side of the centerline thereof. On each such centerline shall be shown the bearing and length of each tangent and radius, central angle and length of each curve.

9. The final map or parcel map shall show the width of each railroad right-of-way, flood control or drainage easement and each other easement appearing on such map, whether previously of record or offered for dedication on such map.

1. If any portion of a lot or parcel of a division of land is subject to flood hazard, inundation or geological hazard, such fact and portion shall be clearly shown on a separate document or additional map sheet. A dedication of building-restriction rights over the flood hazard, inundation or geological hazard area may be required.

2. In the event that a dedication of right-of-way for storm drainage purposes is not required, the location of any watercourse, channel, stream or creek, flood hazard area or floodway shall be shown on a separate document or additional map sheet to the satisfaction of the city engineer.

1. The map shall clearly describe and show the locations of stakes, monuments or other evidence found on the ground to determine the boundaries of the tract. The map shall identify and show the locations of all new monuments as required by Section 16.32.230.

1. The map shall show the location, width, and side lines of all easements to which the lots are subject. If an existing easement is not definitely located of record, a statement as to the easement shall appear on the title sheet. Public utility easements for storm drains, sewers, utilities, and other purposes shall be denoted by broken lines. Distance and bearings on the side lines of the lots which are cut by an easement shall be shown as to indicate clearly the actual lengths of the lot lines. The width of the easement shall be clearly labeled and identified, and, if already of record, proper reference to the records shall be given. Easements being dedicated shall be so indicated in the certificate of dedication.

1. All streets, alleys, access rights, drainage easements, public utility easements, and other easements and parcels of land shown on the map as intended for public use shall be offered for dedication for public use in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and shall be properly set out in the owner’s certificate of dedication on the map.

1. All property reserved for schools, fire stations, libraries, recreation facilities or other public uses shall be shown on the map.
