A. The final tract map shall be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth or polyester-based film. Certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. If ink is used on polyester-based film, the ink surface shall be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility. The size of each sheet shall be eighteen by twenty-six inches. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map shall be indicated on the map in a commonly used one-inch-to-feet relationship, and shall include a bar scale and a north arrow and shall be large enough (not smaller than one inch equals one hundred feet unless otherwise approved by the city engineer) to show all details clearly. Enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown.

B. All survey and mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments and to locate and retrace any and all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing thereon shall be shown, including bearings and distances of straight lines, radii, arc length, central angle, and tangents for all curves and segments of curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves and ties to existing monuments used to establish the subdivision boundaries.

C. The exterior boundary of the land included within the subdivision shall be indicated by distinctive symbols and clearly so designated. The map shall show the definite location of the subdivision, and particularly its relation to existing, adjacent subdivisions, records of survey, legally divided parcels, and dedicated streets, and shall comply with the Land Surveyors Act (Section 8700et seq. of the Business and Professions Code).

D. Each phase or unit shall be numbered in consecutive order, beginning with the number “1.” For each phase or unit, each buildable lot shall be numbered in consecutive order beginning with the number “1.” Each nonbuildable lot shall be lettered in consecutive order beginning with the letter “A.” Each street shall be labeled with the name approved by the planning director.

E. When a soils report, a geologic report, or soils and geologic reports have been prepared specifically for the subdivision, such fact shall be noted on the final map, together with the date of such report or reports, the name of the engineer making the soils report and geologist making the geologic report and the location where the reports are on file pursuant to Section 66434.5 of the Government Code. When no final soil report has been prepared prior to recordation of the final map, this fact shall also be noted on the final map.

F. The title of each final map shall consist of a tract number as secured from the appropriate county agency, conspicuously placed at the top of the sheet, followed by the words “Consisting of…sheets” (showing the number thereof), followed by the words “in the city of Bakersfield or partly in the city of Bakersfield and partly in unincorporated territory.”

G. The name of the engineer or surveyor, his or her license number, and seal shall be shown on each sheet and the scale of the map and north arrow shall be shown on each sheet.

H. The total acreage being subdivided and the total number of lots being created shall be shown on the first map sheet.

I. The total area shall be shown for each lot.

J. If the final map is for a land project as defined in Section 11000.5 of the Business and Professions Code, a statement identifying it as such shall be included. (Ord. 4967 § 1, 2019; Ord. 4232 § 2, 2005; Ord. 3748 § 6, 1997; Ord. 3515 § 1, 1993)
