Latest version.
  • (a)

    The title sheet shall contain the title consisting of the tract number, name of the tract (if any), and such names shall not be the same as the name of any existing city, town, tract or subdivision of land into lots in this county, of which a map or plat has been previously recorded, or so nearly the same as to mislead the public or casue confusion as to identity thereof, and a "subtitle" or a general description of all of the property being subdivided, by reference to maps which have been previously recorded, or by reference to the plat of the U.S. survey. In case the property included within the subdivision lies wholly in unincorporated territory, the following words shall appear below the title: "In the County of Sonoma." If partly in unincorporated territory and partly within an incorporated city, the following words shall be used: "Lying Within and Adjoining The City of _____." Reference to tracts and subdivisions in the description shall be worded identically with original records; and references to book and page of record shall be complete.

    Every sheet comprising a map shall bear the scale, north point, legend, sheet number and number of sheets comprising the map.

    The basis of bearings shall be clearly noted on each sheet except certificate sheet.

    (d)

    Maps filed for the purpose of reverting subdivided land to acreage shall be conspicuously so designated with the title "The Purpose of This Map Is A REVERSION TO ACREAGE."

    (e)

    When a soil report has been prepared, this fact shall be noted on the final map, together with the date of the report and the name of the engineer making the report.
