F. Filing Of Final Parcel Map: The final parcel map shall adequately delineate any public streets or public easements to be left in effect after the subdivision. The filing of the final parcel map shall constitute abandonment of all public streets and public easements not shown on the final parcel 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 city clerk. Before a public easement vested in another public entity may be abandoned pursuant to this subsection, the applicant shall notify the public entity of the proposed abandonment.

H. Approval Of Final Parcel Map:
1. The city engineer shall review the final parcel map, or subsequent submission of the map after required corrections to the map have been made, and either may recommend the approval of the map or may require further modification or correction of the map. Upon the city engineer's recommendation of the map for approval, the final parcel map shall be submitted to the city council for consideration.

The city council shall approve the final parcel map if it finds that the final parcel map is in substantial compliance with the approved tentative parcel map; provided that, the city council may waive noncompliance and approve the final parcel map if the city council finds that the noncompliance is the result of a technical and inadvertent error which, in the determination of the city council, does not materially affect the validity of the final parcel map.

I. Recording Of Final Parcel Map: After the approval of the final parcel map by the city, the city clerk shall transmit the map to the clerk of the Fresno County board of supervisors.
