A
Parcel Map, or minor subdivision is
prepared to facilitate the subdivision of a parcel
of land into four or fewer parcels, or four or few
condominiums. It is done in two parts, a Tentative
Parcel Map, which shows the physical site
information with the proposed lot configuration
and the Final Parcel Map which is filed at the
county to record the new lot information in the
public record.
The Tentative Parcel Map
shows all the information that we show in a
Boundary & Topographic Survey and includes the
proposed position of the new lot line and the
proposed easements that are necessary to serve the
new parcels. Some jurisdictions require a Civil
Engineer to provide a grading and drainage plan to
accompany the Tentative Parcel Map and we have
Civil Engineers that we work with to provide the
service or we are willing to work with an engineer
of your choice. The city or county officials
review the Tentative Parcel Map and it generally
goes before the Planning Commission for a vote.
When the Planning Commission approves the
subdivision, they will issue a report of the
“Conditions and Approval” and you will be required
to meet those conditions before you can file the
Final Parcel Map.
The Final Parcel
map shows the original parcel boundary
and the new lot configurations, along with any
easements that may be dedicated and the survey
control used to determine the boundaries, and any
points set to delineate the boundaries. After the
controlling jurisdiction reviews the map, a Mylar
(plastic) version is prepared and it is signed by
the owners, or anyone with an ownership interest,
the Land Surveyor, the city or county officials,
the Clerk of the County Board of Supervisors and
finally the County Recorder as a permanent record
of the subdivision.
