. The final map shall be prepared by or under the direction of
a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor, shall be
based upon a survey, and shall conform to all of the following
provisions:
(a) It shall be legibly drawn, printed, or reproduced by a process
guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth or
polyester base film. Certificates, affidavits, and acknowledgments
may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. If
ink is used on polyester base film, the ink surface shall be coated
with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility.
(b) The size of each sheet shall be 18 by 26 inches or 460 by 660
millimeters. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each
sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch or 025
millimeters. The scale of the map shall be large enough to show all
details clearly and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this
end. 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 sheet shall be clearly shown.
(c) All survey and mathematical information and data necessary to
locate all monuments and to locate and retrace any and all interior
and exterior boundary lines appearing on the map shall be shown,
including bearings and distances of straight lines, and radii and arc
length or chord bearings and length for all curves, and any
information that may be necessary to determine the location of the
centers of curves and ties to existing monuments used to establish
the subdivision boundaries.
(d) Each parcel shall be numbered or lettered and each block may
be numbered or lettered. Each street shall be named or otherwise
designated. The subdivision number shall be shown together with the
description of the real property being subdivided.
(e) (1) The exterior boundary of the land included within the
subdivision shall be indicated by distinctive symbols and clearly so
designated. The exterior boundary of the land included within the
subdivision shall not include a designated remainder or omitted
parcel that is designated or omitted under Section 66424.6. The
designated remainder or omitted parcel shall be labeled as a
designated remainder parcel or omitted parcel. The map shall show the
definite location of the subdivision, and particularly its relation
to surrounding surveys.
(2) If the map includes a "designated remainder" parcel, and the
gross area of the "designated remainder" parcel or similar parcel is
five acres or more, that remainder parcel need not be shown on the
map and its location need not be indicated as a matter of survey, but
only by deed reference to the existing boundaries of the remainder
parcel.
(3) A parcel designated as "not a part" shall be deemed to be a
"designated remainder" for purposes of this section.
(f) On and after January 1, 1987, no additional requirements shall
be included that do not affect record title interests. However, the
map shall contain a notation or reference to additional information
required by a local ordinance adopted pursuant to Section 66434.2.
(g) Any public streets or public easements to be left in effect
after the subdivision shall be adequately delineated on the map. The
filing of the final map shall constitute abandonment of all public
streets and public easements not shown on the map, provided that a
written notation of each abandonment is listed by reference to the
recording data or other official record creating these public streets
or public easements and certified to on the map by the clerk of the
legislative body or the designee of the legislative body approving
the map. Before a public easement vested in another public entity may
be abandoned pursuant to this section, that public entity shall
receive notice of the proposed abandonment. No public easement vested
in another public entity shall be abandoned pursuant to this section
if that public entity objects to the proposed abandonment.
