§ 20-91. Amendment.

(a)

After a final map is filed in the office of the county recorder, it may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map:

(1)

To correct an error in any course or distance shown thereon.

(2)

To correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the map.

(3)

To show any course or distance that was omitted therefrom.

(4)

To indicate monuments set after the death, disability, or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities for setting monuments.

(5)

To show the property location or character of any monument which has been changed in location or character originally shown at the wrong location or incorrectly as to its character.

(6)

To correct any other type of map error or omission as approved by the county surveyor which does not affect any property right. Such errors and omissions may include; but are not limited to, lot numbers; acreage, street names and identification of adjacent record maps.

(7)

To make amendments reflecting changes in circumstances if the advisory agency, at a public hearing, finds that: There are changes in circumstances which make any or all of the conditions or mitigations of such a map no longer appropriate or necessary; the amendments do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property; the amendments do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map; and the advisory agency finds that the amendment conforms to the provisions of section 20-65 of this chapter.

As used in this section, "error" does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not ascertainable from the data shown on the final or parcel map.

(b)

The amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared and signed by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. The amending map shall conform to the requirements of a final map. The amending map or certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the amendments or corrections made and show the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the amendment or correction.

(c)

No amending map or certificate of correction shall be required to reflect amendments of the types specified below. In such instances the property owner need not file a formal application and need not pay any fees but may simply submit documentation of the amendment to the county department with jurisdiction.

(1)

The deletion or amendment of conditions as the result of changes in state law or county ordinances or resolutions, if such changes are confirmed in writing by the county counsel.

(2)

The alteration of homesite locations specified to mitigate impacts on migratory deer herds, if such alteration has been approved in writing by the state department of fish and game.

(3)

The elimination of the requirement for installation of an automatic fire suppression sprinkler system in a residential structure. This subsection (3) shall be applicable only if a pressurized community water system with hydrants serves the lot or parcel and has been approved in writing by the fire protection agency which has jurisdiction.

(d)

An application to amend a recorded map by an amending map shall be filed and processed in the same manner as specified in this chapter for applications for subdivision maps or parcel maps, as applicable.

(e)

An application to amend a recorded map by a certificate of correction shall be filed with the advisory agency. The form and content of the application shall be specified by the advisory agency.
