The final map, when submitted, shall comply with the following:

(A) The final map shall be clearly and legibly drawn upon reproducible mylar. All lines, letters, figures, certifications, acknowledgments and signatures shall be made in black India ink. Typewriting or rubber stamps shall not be used. The map shall be so made and shall be in such condition when filed that good legible blueprints and negatives can be made. The size of the sheets of reproducible mylar shall be eighteen by twenty-six inches leaving a margin of two inches at the left edge and one (1) inch at the other three edges of the sheets. The scale of the final map shall be large enough to show all details clearly and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end.

(B) When the final map consists of more than two sheets, the relation of sheets shall be indicated by note. Every sheet comprising the map shall bear the scale, north point, legend, sheet number and number of sheets comprising the map.

(C) The final map shall be tied to the state of California Coordinate System. The final map shall show clearly what stakes, monuments or other evidence found on the ground or were set to determine the boundaries of the subdivision. The corners of all adjoining subdivisions shall be identified by lot and block numbers, subdivision name and place of record, and other proper designation.

(D) Sufficient data must be shown to determine readily the bearing and length of every lot line, block line and boundary line and shall be shown in feet and hundredths of a foot. No ditto marks shall be used. Lots containing one acre or more shall show total acreage to nearest hundredth. Bearing and lengths of straight lines, and radii and arc length for all curves as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves and tangent points shall be shown. No lot shall be dimensioned to contain any part of an existing or proposed public right-of-way.

(E) The final map shall show the location and description of all monuments found in making the survey of the subdivision.

(F) In addition, the final map shall be prepared in full compliance with the following requirements:

(1) The final map shall show the line of high water for the one hundred year flood where the subdivision is adjacent to a stream, channel or any body of water and shall also show any area subject to periodic inundation by water.

(2) The boundary of the subdivision shall be designated by a blue border. Such border shall not interfere with the legibility of figures or other data.

(3) The final map shall show the lines of all streets, the total width of all streets, the width of the portion being dedicated and the width of existing dedications, also the width of any railroad rights-of-way, appearing on the map. Each street shall be named.

(4) The final map shall show the side lines of all easements to which the lots are subject. The easements must be clearly labeled and identified and if already of record, its recorded reference given. If any easement is not definitely located of record, a statement of such easement must appear on the title sheet. Easements for storm drain, sewers and other purposes shall be denoted by dashed lines. The width of the easement and sufficient ties thereto to definitely locate the easement with respect to the subdivision must be shown. If the easement is being dedicated by the map, it shall be properly referenced in the owner's certificates of dedication.

(5) City boundary lines crossing or bounding the subdivision shall be clearly designated and referenced.

(6) Lot numbers shall begin with the number "1" in each block and shall be numbered in a clockwise direction from the upper left hand corner; north shall be generally up on the final map.

(7) Block numbers shall begin with the number "1" continuing consecutively without omission or duplication throughout the subdivision. The numbers or letters shall be solid and of sufficient size and thickness to stand out, shall be so placed as not to obliterate any fixture and shall be enclosed in a circle. Where adjoining blocks appear on separate sheets, the street adjoining both blocks shall be shown on both sheets with complete property line data.

(8) The final map shall particularly define, delineate and designate all lots and condominium air spaces intended for sale or reserved for private purposes, all parcels offered for dedication for any purpose, public or private, with all dimensions, boundaries, and courses clearly shown and defined in every case. Parcels offered for dedication but not accepted shall be designated by letter.
