A. Complete Survey. An accurate and complete survey of the land to be subdivided shall be made by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor.
B. Survey Elements. All alleys, blocks, centerlines of streets, curves, easements, monuments, parcels, and property lines adjoining or within the subdivision shall be tied into the survey.
C. Adjoining Properties. All adjoining properties shall be identified by block, parcel, property owners, and tract designation.
D. Error of Closure. The allowable error of closure on any portion of the final map shall be in compliance with the requirements of the county surveyor.
E. Net Acreage. Parcels containing one acre or more shall show net acreage to the nearest one-one hundredth.
F. Setting of Monuments. At the time of making the survey for the final map, the engineer or surveyor shall set sufficient durable monuments to conform with the standards required by state law (Business and Professions Code Section 8771) so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey, in compliance with state law (Government Code Sections 66495 and 66496). At least one exterior boundary line shall be monumented before recording the final map. Every final map shall show the following monuments:
1. Boundary monuments. The exterior boundary of the subdivision shall be monumented with permanent monuments not smaller than two-inch iron pipes at least twenty-four (24) inches long set at each corner and at intermediate points along the boundary not more than one thousand (1,000) feet apart and at the beginning and end points of all curves. If any existing record and identified monument meeting the foregoing requirements is found at any corner or point, the existing monument(s) may be used in lieu of a new monument;
2. Lot corner monuments. All lot corners, except when coincident with exterior boundary corner, shall be monumented with permanent monuments of one of the following types:
a. Three-quarter-inch diameter iron pipe at least twelve (12) inches long;
b. One-half-inch diameter steel rod at least twelve (12) inches long; or
c. Lead plug and copper identification disks set in concrete sidewalks or curbs.
3. Additional monuments to mark the limiting lines of streets as the city engineer may require;
4. All other monuments set or proposed to be set.
a. The subdivider shall cause the foregoing monuments to be set by a licensed surveyor or engineer.
b. All monuments and their installation shall conform to city standards.
c. All of the foregoing monuments shall be set before the approval of the map by the Council unless the setting thereof is deferred in compliance with state law (Subdivision Map Act Section 66496). However, the setting of exterior boundary monuments shall not be deferred unless the city engineer determines that the monuments might be disturbed by the construction of the improvements.
d. Where the setting of monuments is deferred following filing of a final map, the monuments shall be set within thirty (30) days after the completion of the required improvements and before the acceptance by the city. The setting of monuments shall not be deferred if a parcel map is filed unless expressly allowed by the city engineer.
