Chapter 16.36 — LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS

• A. No person shall record a deed or other document adjusting the boundary between properties by establishing a new property boundary not otherwise approved by the procedures of this title, unless a lot line adjustment is first approved by the director of community development in the manner described in this title.

• B. Requests for lot line adjustments shall be made on forms provided by the director of community development, shall provide all information necessary to enable the proposal to be properly evaluated, shall be accompanied by the required filing fee and by the preliminary record of survey map showing the proposed new parcel boundaries and including complete legal descriptions.

• C. After investigation and receipt of reports of other divisions or affected outside agencies, the director of community development shall approve the lot line adjustment, provided it is found in writing that the proposed lot line adjustment conforms to local zoning and building ordinances, or approve it subject to conditions or exactions necessary to conform to zoning and building ordinances or to facilitate relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure or easements, or to assure that one or more certificates of compliance are properly recorded. If there is no change proposed to the exact width of an existing legal lot that is nonconforming in terms of lot width, such lot shall be considered conforming to zoning ordinances only for the purpose of the lot line adjustment process.

• D. Upon completion of approval conditions, the director of community development shall cause to be recorded one or more certificates of compliance for the lot line adjustment which shall contain a precise legal description(s) of the adjusted lot(s), supplied by the applicant and certified by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor.

• E. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the applicant from filing a tentative parcel map application and recording a final parcel map in lieu of the lot line adjustment procedure.

• (Ord. 5683 § 9, 2009; Ord. 5803 § 76, 2013)

Any appeal from the determination of the director of community development relating to any lot line adjustment application may be taken in accordance with the procedure governing appeals set forth in Title 30 of this code.
