(D) The title of each Parcel Map must include a name and a map number, as secured from the county surveyor, conspicuously placed at the lower right hand corner of the sheet, followed by the words "consisting of sheets" (showing the number thereof), followed by the words "in the City of Santa Paula" or "partly in the City of Santa Paula and partly in unincorporated territory."

Gov’t Code § 66499.55; or by reference to the plat of any United States survey.

(I) The name of the survey, survey date, and map scale must be stated on the title sheet, below the subtitle.

(O) Where easements for conveyance to privately owned public utility companies are reserved, a certificate to that effect must be shown on the parcel map. This certificate may show that in no event, except when permission is obtained from public utility companies occupying such easement, may any dwelling house, building or other structure, except fences or any portion thereof, be erected in, upon, over, or across any such public utility easement.

All lots and blocks are shown in their entirety on one sheet wherever practicable.
(U) Arc lengths, radii, and central angle and radial bearing of each curve at intersection with a line not tangent to such curve must be shown.
(V) The parcel map must fully describe and show the location of any stakes, monuments, or other evidence to determine the boundaries of the subdivision. Each adjacent corner of each adjoining subdivision or portion thereof by lot and block numbers, tract names and place of record, or by section, township and range or other proper designation must be shown and identified on the map.
(W) The location, size, and depth of all monuments placed in making the survey must be shown, and if any points were reset by ties, that fact must be noted.
(X) The boundary of the subdivision must be indicated by a border of prussian blue water color or blue india ink approximately one-eighth of an inch wide, applied on the reverse side of the tracing and inside such boundary line.
(Y) Such water color must be of such density as to be transferable to white print of such map and not obliterate any line, figure, or other data appearing thereon.
(Z) All lines shown on the map that do not constitute a part of the subdivision itself must be clearly distinguishable from those lines which are a part of the subdivision, and any area enclosed by such lines is labeled "not a part of this subdivision."
(AA) City boundaries that cross or adjoin the subdivision must be clearly designated and located in relation to adjacent lot or block lines.
