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

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

(2)

To show any course or distance that was omitted therefrom.

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

(4)

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

(5)

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

(6)

To correct any additional information filed or recorded pursuant to Section 66434.2, if the correction does not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property and does not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map.

Sec. 21-146. - Additional modifications.

In addition to the methods and purposes of correction set forth in section 21-145, a final map or parcel map may be modified by a certificate of correction or an amending map if there are changed circumstances which make any or all of the conditions of the map no longer appropriate or necessary, and if the proposed modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property, and if the proposed modifications do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map, and if the board of supervisors finds that the map as modified conforms to the provisions of Government Code Section 66474. Any such modification or modifications to be made under this section shall be set for public hearing by the board of supervisors pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 66451.3.
