Chapter 16.28 — BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENTS

(Section 66412) No record of survey or parcel map shall be required for a boundary line adjustment, meaning the relocation of the boundary line of adjoining property, when such relocation by deed does not result in the creation of an additional, separate and distinct parcel of real property. Such boundary line adjustment is not a subdivision of real property and is excluded from the provisions of this title; provided the boundary line adjustment is approved by resolution of the city council and no easements of record are affected by the adjustment.

A lot line adjustment in accordance with this section shall be reflected in a deed which shall be recorded within three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days of boundary line adjustment approval by the city. The deed shall make specific reference to the resolution and date of approval by city.

(Ord. 159 (part), 2005)

Whenever a proposed boundary line adjustment requires the relocation of existing utilities, easements, rights-of-way, or public improvements, a record of survey or parcel map shall be recorded. No tentative

map will be required for any parcel map required by this section. An alternative method of abandonment and rededication of easements or rights-of-way may be followed subject to approval of the city attorney.
