§ 6.08.071. Lot line adjustments.


Latest version.
  • A lot line adjustment between two or more exiting adjacent parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjacent parcel and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not created, may be approved by the community development director without a tentative subdivision map, or a parcel map as follows:

    (1)

    The director's review shall be limited to a determination of whether or not the parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment will conform to the city's building and zoning ordinances, including whether the resulting parcels and any structures and parking spaces located thereon will comply with the area, width, frontage and yard requirements of the zone in which the parcels are located. No nonconforming uses or structures may be created by a lot line adjustment.

    (2)

    The director shall not impose conditions or exactions on approval of a lot line adjustment except to conform to the city's building and zoning ordinances or to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure or easements.

    (3)

    A grant deed which describes the proposed boundaries of the parcels shall be submitted to the city engineer for review. If a lot line adjustment is approved, the deed shall be recorded by the applicant.

    (4)

    No record of survey shall be required for a lot line adjustment.
