(A) Requirements. After a final map is recorded in the office of the County Recorder, it may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map for any of the following purposes:
(1) To correct an error in any course or distance shown thereon;
(2) To show any course or distance that was omitted therefrom;
(3) To correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the map;
(4) To indicate monuments set after the death, disability, retirement from practice or replacement of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities for setting monuments;
(5) To show the proper location or character of any monument which has been changed in location or character, or originally was shown at the wrong location or incorrectly as to its character; and/or
(6) To correct any other type of map error or omission as approved by the County Engineer, which does not affect any property right. The errors and omissions may include, but are not limited to, lot numbers, acreage, street names and identification of adjacent record maps. As used in this division, “error” does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not ascertainable from the data shown on the final map.
(B) Form and contents. The amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. The form and contents of the amending map shall conform to the requirements of §§ 23.09.004 and 23.09.005. The amending map or certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the corrections made and show the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the correction.
(C) Submittal and approval by County Engineer. The amending map or certificate of correction, complete as final form, shall be submitted to the County Engineer for review and approval. The County Engineer shall examine the amending map or certificate of correction and if the only changes made are those set forth in division (A) above, he or she shall certify to this fact on the amending map or certificate of correction.
(D) Recording with the County Recorder. The amending map or certificate of correction, certified by the County Engineer, shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder. Upon the filing, the County Recorder shall index the names of the fee owners and the appropriate subdivision designation shown on the amending map or certificate of correction in the general index and map index, respectively. Thereupon, the original map shall be deemed to have been conclusively so corrected, and thereafter shall impart constructive notice of all such corrections in the same manner as though set forth upon the original map.
(E) Modifications.
(1) A recorded final map may be modified by a certificate of correction or an amending map if the Planning Commission finds all of the following:
(a) There are changes in circumstances which make any or all of the conditions of such a map no longer appropriate or necessary;
(b) The modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property;
(c) The modifications do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map; and
(d) The map as modified conforms to the provisions of § 23.07.006.
(2) The modification shall be set for public hearing before the Planning Commission in accordance with § 23.07.006. The Planning Commission shall confine the hearing to consideration of and action on the proposed modification. Any person aggrieved by a decision of the Planning Commission pursuant to this division may appeal the decision to the Board of Supervisors in accordance with the provisions of § 23.07.008.
