Final plats may also be submitted for review prior to the approval of a tentative if a minimum of one review of the tentative plat have occurred.

4.2   Be prepared on materials that can be transferred to double-matt Mylar reverse read;

4.3   Have a two-inch margin on the left side and one-half inch margins on the remaining sides to comply with standardization requirements of state law for recorded plats;

5.1 General

   A.   A project-location map must be drawn in the upper right corner of the first sheet of the plat at a scale of three inches equals one mile and include the following information:

      1.   The project site approximately centered within a one square mile area;

      2.   Label the section, township, and range; section corners; north arrow; and the scale;

      3.   Subdivisions, arterial and collector streets, major watercourses, and railroads within the one-mile area; and,

      4.   The city’s jurisdictional limits, if within the mapped area.

   B.   If the plat contains more than one sheet, a small index drawing of the site showing the area represented on each sheet is to be placed on the first sheet. Exception: The project-location may be used as the index map on plats having only two or three sheets.

   C.   If the project is located within the boundaries of a Planned Area Development (PAD) zone, include a reduced-scale map of the entire PAD on the first sheet, indicating the location of the portion being developed.

   D.   Place the words “SEQ#________” in both the upper and lower right corners outside the margin line. The blanks will be completed by the Pima County Recorder’s Office at the time of recordation.

   E.   Provide a title block in the lower right corner of each sheet with the following information:

      1.   Subdivision name; number of blocks, lots, and/or units; and common area;

      2.   Legal description by section, township, and range; and,

      3.   If the final plat is a resubdivision of a previously recorded plat, indicate the title and the book and page/sequence number reference of the existing subdivision; and

      4.   State “FINAL PLAT” in the tittle and title block.

   F.   Orient the subdivision drawing with north toward the top of the page, when possible. Place a north arrow on each sheet in the upper right corner with the scale of the drawing beneath the arrow. All lettering, dimensions, etc., must be oriented to the north. If it is not practical to orient north to the top of the sheet, the plan drawing shall be oriented with north to the left side of the sheet.

   H.   The S(Year)-___ subdivision case number assigned to the approved tentative plat must be placed in the lower right corner of the plat next to the title block. If the property is subject to a rezoning case, the C9-__-__ rezoning case number is to be noted also.

   I.   A legend which shows and describes all symbols used on the drawing must be placed on either the first sheet of the plat or the first sheet which contains all or part of the subdivision drawing.
