. Every cemetery authority, from time to time as its property
may be required for interment purposes, shall:
(a) In case of land, survey and subdivide it into sections,
blocks, plots, avenues, walks or other subdivisions; make a good and
substantial map or plat showing the sections, plots, avenues, walks
or other subdivisions, with descriptive names or numbers.
(b) In case of a mausoleum, or crematory and columbarium it shall
make a good and substantial map or plat on which shall be delineated
the sections, halls, rooms, corridors, elevations, and other
divisions, with descriptive names or numbers.
(c) The maps or plats shall be clearly and legibly drawn, printed,
or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black
on tracing cloth or polyester base film. If ink is used on a
polyester base film, the ink surface shall be coated with a suitable
substance to insure permanent legibility. The size of each sheet
shall be 18 by 26 inches or as otherwise prescribed by the county
recorder or local agency. A marginal line shall be drawn completely
around each sheet, leaving an entire blank margin of one inch. 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 sheets and the total number of sheets
comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets and its
relationship to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown.
(d) Upon modification of an existing section after January 1,
1990, or development of a new section after January 1, 1990, the
cemetery authority shall amend and file with the county recorder or
local agency the maps or plats as described in subdivisions (a), (b),
and (c). Within 12 months of the initial sale, the cemetery
authority shall file with the county recorder or local agency the map
or plat. For purposes of this subdivision, "section" means a burial
space, mausoleum, or columbarium.
