The final map shall be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. It shall be submitted to the director of planning who will transmit the map to the county surveyor for review. The final map shall be based on a survey, and conform to all of the provisions of Section 66434 of the Government Code and the following additional requirements:

1.

Each parcel shall be numbered consecutively, starting with the number one, with no omissions or duplications. Lots used for streets, alleys or barrier strips shall be lettered. Easements shall be clearly identified. If possible, each block shall be shown entirely on one sheet. Each lot must be shown on one sheet. Street names acceptable to the director of planning shall be shown.

2.

The location of any parcel designated as a "remainder" or "not a part" shall be identified; provided, however, that if such parcel has a gross area of five acres or more it need not be shown on the map and its location need not be indicated as a matter of survey but only by deed reference to the existing boundaries of such parcel.

3.

The title sheet shall contain the name of the subdivision and the tract number, as secured from the planning department, conspicuously placed on the sheet. Below the title shall appear a subtitle consisting of a general description of all the property being subdivided, by reference to recorded deeds or to maps which have been previously recorded or by reference to the plat of a United States survey.

4.

References in the description to tracts and subdivisions must be spelled out and worded identically with original records, and references to book and page of record must be complete. There must also appear on every sheet of the map the scale, the north point and the basis of bearing, reference being made to a recorded subdivision map, recorded deed, United States survey, solar or polaris observation. Every sheet comprising the map proper shall bear the title, legend, scale, north point and sheet number.

5.

All parcels offered for dedication for public purposes and any private streets which have been permitted pursuant to this title, which all dimensions, boundaries and courses, shall be clearly shown and defined in every case. Parcels offered for dedication but not accepted shall be designated by letter, and streets offered but not accepted for dedication shall have inserted the words "Not a Public Street."
