   The final map shall contain the following:
   A.    Title Sheet. The title sheet of the final map shall contain the number of the tract, the description of the land being subdivided together with the words, "In the City of Fullerton", or "Partly Within the City of Fullerton and Partly Within (unincorporated territory of Orange County or other City)".

The title sheet shall contain appropriate certificates and acknowledgments for execution by the owners of the record of the property, the City Engineer, the City Clerk, the County Surveyor, and such others as required by State, County or City codes. Where streets, highways, easements and other interest in property are being dedicated to the City or being offered for a dedication, appropriate certificates shall clearly indicate same. A separate note explaining and describing the basis of bearings upon which the survey of the tract was made shall be shown on the title sheet, along with a legend showing the type and character of all monuments found, set or to be set, which affect the survey of the subdivision. The title sheet shall show the name and state the registration number of the civil engineer or land surveyor responsible for the survey and preparation of the map. A certificate, signed by the responsible engineer or surveyor, shall also be shown on the title sheet which shall indicate if the monuments shown have been set or when such monuments will be set.
   B.    Title sheet and/or map sheets:
      1.    If more than three sheets are used, an index showing the entire subdivision, with lots, streets, etc., shall be included on the title sheet, if there is room, or on the second sheet;
      2.    The number of the tract, and a statement as to whether it is the first, successive or final increment of an approved tentative tract of a different number;
      3.    Surveyor's/engineer's name and registration number;
      4.    Total acreage being subdivided;
      5.    The number of lots in the subdivision;
      6.    Date of survey;
      7.    Date of preparation, north point and scale;
      8.    A description of the land being subdivided;
      9.    Location and names, without abbreviations, of all:
         a.    Proposed streets, highways, alleys, and public service easements,
         b.    Proposed public areas and all other easements,
         c.    Adjoining and nearby streets, alleys and easements.
      10.    A legend showing the type and character of all monuments found, set, or to be set, which affect the survey of the subdivision shown on each map sheet or on one map sheet with reference thereto on all map sheets;
      11.    Basis of bearings note on each map sheet or on one map sheet with reference thereto on all other map sheets;
      12.    Dimensions shall be in feet and decimals of a foot, to the closest hundredth;
      13.    The dimensions of all lots;
      14.    Each lot shall be numbered; each block, may be lettered or numbered. Each lot shall be shown entirely on one sheet;
      15.    Centerline data on streets, easements, alleys, etc., including bearing distances and curve data;
      16.    The exterior boundary of the land included in the subdivision shall be indicated by distinctive symbols, and clearly so designated;
      17.    Ditto marks shall not be used on the final map. All figures, numbers, and writing thereon shall be of such size and clarity so that copies made from the original will be legible.
   C.    Record of Easements. The final map shall show the centerline data, width, sidelines and curve data for all easements to which the lots in the subdivision are subject. All easements, both existing and of record, and those to be dedicated or to be offered for dedication, shall be clearly shown and identified with respect to their present or intended use, and if of record, proper reference to the record date given. Private easements may, but need not be, shown on the final map, so long as their presence does not confuse or detract from the purpose of the final map.
   D.    Required Survey Data. The final map shall show the centerlines and sidelines for all streets, highways, and alleys; with their lengths and bearings; length, radii, tangent lengths and central angles, with radial bearings for all curves and segments; the total width of each street and easement, with the width of any portion being dedicated and that of any existing portion in relation to centerline; and the widths of rights-of-way for railroads, freeways, flood control channels and all other easements. Surveys made for the preparation of maps for land divisions shall be made in accordance with the Land Surveyors' Act, and the standard practices and principles of land surveying, under the supervision of a civil engineer or land surveyor licensed in the state. A traverse of the boundaries of the tract, or the lots or blocks therein, or along the centerlines or sidelines of the streets and easements shown, shall close within the tolerances and to the degree of accuracy as required by the City Engineer.
      1.    New Monuments. Sufficient permanent monuments shall be set so that the survey or any part thereof may be readily retraced. Such monuments shall generally be placed at the corners and angle points of the exterior boundary of the subdivision, at beginnings and endings of curves, at centerline intersections of streets, alleys and public service easements and at other points of control as required by the City Engineer. Stakes shall be at all lot corners, but shall not be considered permanent. The character, type and positions of all monuments to be set shall be noted on the map and shall conform to the requirements of the City Engineer. All monuments set shall be tagged with the engineer's or surveyor's State license number and designation. Interior monuments and points need not be set at the time the final map is recorded if the engineer or surveyor certifies on the title sheet of the final map that the monuments will be set on or before a specified later date, and if the subdivider furnishes to the City Council a cash bond and posts a suitable agreement guaranteeing the setting of the monuments and payment for the cost thereof.
      2.    Existing Monuments and Survey Information. The final map shall clearly show all stakes, monuments, ties or other evidence found while making the survey to determine the tract boundaries. The corners of adjoining lots, subdivisions and parcels shall be shown and identified, with ties thereto. Reference shall also be made to all subdivisions, records of surveys, parcel maps, and other maps and data of record upon, adjoining or near the property being divided, combined or reverted to acreage. Other survey data and calculations, if required by the City Engineer shall be shown on the final map in accordance with his standards and policies.
      3.    Established Lines and Points. Whenever the City Engineer or County Surveyor has established the centerlines of streets, alleys or easements or has located specific points or monuments, such data shall be considered in making the survey and all monuments and points found and used shall be indicated on the map with proper references made to field books, surveys, tie books, or other maps or information of public record. If the points were reset by ties or if record points were not found, that fact shall be clearly noted and a note made of any new point set in its place. The final map shall also show and tie in the locations of any city boundaries crossing or adjoining the subdivision.
      4.    Survey Data for Lots. Dimensions of lots shall be the net dimensions. Each lot shall be shown fully on a sheet. All lots containing three-quarters of an acre or more shall show net acreage, and when required by the City Engineer, the gross acreage. Whenever acreages are shown for lots, blocks, or for the total tract area, they shall be shown to the nearest thousandth of an acre, and when required by the City Engineer, in square feet, to the nearest hundredth of a square foot.
