Chapter 16.48 — LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS

Prior ordinance history—Section 12 of Ord. 384.

"Lot line adjustment" means an adjustment of a lot line between two or more adjacent parcels, where land taken from one parcel is added to an adjacent parcel, and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not created.

(Ord. 516 §1(part), 1992)

The purpose of a lot line adjustment is to convey land from one parcel to an adjacent parcel.

(Ord. 516 §1(part), 1992)

To process a lot line adjustment, the applicant shall submit a completed lot line adjustment application, a lot line adjustment map, a legal description of each parcel shown on the map, and a fee for the processing of the application. The owner or owners of the property shall sign the application verifying that the information contained in the application is correct.

(Ord. 516 §1(part), 1992)

The lot line adjustment map shall contain the following:

A.

The boundary line of the original parcels, with dimensions, and the proposed boundary lines of the new parcels, with dimensions. The net area for the new parcels shall also be shown;

B.

All existing surface and below-ground structures and infrastructure improvements;

C.

The location and dimensions of all easements that traverse the subject site;

D.

The names, location and right-of-way lines of streets that abut the subject site.

(Ord. 516 §1(part), 1992)

A.

The city engineer and city planner shall approve the lot line adjustment application if the resulting parcels conform to the Exeter Zoning Ordinance and Uniform Building Code. The lot line adjustment shall be subject to the condition that the applicant's engineer or surveyor set sufficient durable monuments, consistent with the standards described in Section 8771 of the Business and Professions Code, at all property corners of the resulting parcels where none now exist.

B.

Such approval shall require the signatures of the city engineer and city planner on an administrative resolution.

(Ord. 516 §1(part), 1992)

If the lot line adjustment is approved, the administrative resolution shall be filed for record with the county recorder. This resolution shall contain a legal description of each parcel resulting from the lot line adjustment, and shall be recorded concurrently with any appropriate deed(s) and/or record of survey pursuant to Government Code Section 66412(d).
