Fullerton area LS's

[Gary O]

I happened upon the City of Fullerton's "Guide to Preparing a Parcel Map and it states that the tentative and parcel maps must be prepared by a CIVIL ENGINEER!!!!!! No mention of LS's or the authority to do this work.

Has anyone addressed this?

Gary,
Do you have a source to share the complete text of the guide? Many Municipalities have outdated information not only in their information handouts but in their municipal code as well. I wouldn't get too excited, most tentative parcel maps do not need to prepared by any registered or licensed individuals. Interesting though, maybe you wouldn't mind providing a copy to the professional practice committee of your local CLSA chapter, so they can send the City a letter explaining the current law. Thanks for your help.

Some jurisdictions around the Bay Area require two licensed persons to sign a tentative map.

The LS for the property line. Even if it is a lot split of a 100'x200', they consider only an LS as being able to state that 50 + 50 = 100.

The RCE must sign if there is ANY improvements, such as the installation of a mailbox.

I never cease to be amazed by the "rules" that continue to appear.
That sounds almost as bad as the eastern surveyors having their Maps rejected by the county recorder because it doesn't agree with their GIS.
