Atascadero Municipal Code Ch. 5 Lot Line Adjustment

Application for lot line adjustment shall be in the same form as prescribed for tentative maps in the Subdivision Guidelines and Standards Manual.

(Ord. 370 § 2, 2000)

(a) The procedures for review of lot line adjustments shall be as provided in Chapter 11-4 for tentative maps except that action on lot line adjustments shall be by the Community Development Director and shall not require Planning Commission action except where existing nonconforming lots are proposed to be reduced in size.

(b) Upon a determination by the Community Development Director or City Engineer that the original parcels were legally created, that the parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment will conform to the City's zoning ordinance and building regulations, and that the lot line adjustment will not result in a greater number of parcels than originally existed, the lot line adjustment shall be approved.

(c) Conditions or exactions imposed on the approval of a lot line adjustment shall be limited to those necessary to insure conformance with the City's zoning ordinance and building regulations, facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, and/or easements and to require the prepayment of real property taxes prior to the approval of the lot line adjustment.

(d) Upon acceptance of all statements, guarantees, and other documents which are required in conjunction with the lot line adjustment, the Community Development Director may file a certificate of compliance, which shall refer to the approved lot line adjustment map, for each parcel affected by the change and shall cause a deed to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder. No record of survey shall be required for a lot line adjustment unless required by Section 8762 of the Business and Professions Code.

(e) At the option of the property owner, a parcel map delineating the new parcels may be prepared instead of certificates of compliance.

(f) The Director's action may be appealed as provided in Section 11-1.10 of this title.
