§ 25-19

• (a) For the purposes of this chapter, a lotline adjustment is any division of land not requiring a subdivision tract map, as specified by the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code section 66411 et seq., where adjustment is sought between two or more existing adjacent parcels, and 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 thereby created, provided the lotline adjustment is approved by the planning director and the director of public works as the advisory agency for purposes of the Subdivision Map Act.

• (b) The planning director and public works director shall limit their review and approval to a determination of whether or not the parcels resulting from the lotline adjustment will conform to city zoning and building ordinances. The planning director and public works director in reviewing lotline adjustments proposals shall not impose conditions or exactions on the approval of a lotline adjustment except to conform to city zoning and building ordinances, or except to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements.

• (c) No tentative map, parcel map, or final map shall be required as a condition to the approval of a lotline adjustment. Any lotline adjustment so approved shall be reflected in a deed or record of survey which shall be recorded. No record of survey shall be required for a lot line adjustment unless required by Business and Professions Code, Section 8762.

• (d) Nothing in this section shall prohibit an applicant for a lotline adjustment from submitting a tentative parcel map in lieu of the procedure outlined herein.
