Imperial Beach Municipal Code Ch. 18.64 Boundary Adjustments

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title to the contrary, the procedure set forth in this chapter shall govern the processing of and requirements for parcel maps for boundary adjustment purposes. Such a map may be filed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter to adjust the boundaries between two, three, or four residentially zoned lots provided such adjustment of boundaries does not:

A. Create any new lots;

B. Include any lots or parcels created illegally, unless said lot or parcel has been approved by the Director of Planning or, on appeal, the City Council, pursuant to Chapter 18.72 and a certificate of compliance relative thereto has been filed with the County Recorder;

C. Increase the number of lots served solely by private street easements;

D. Increase or decrease the area of any lot more than 50% of the area thereof as it existed before such adjustment;

E. Result in a lot not meeting current City requirements.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.010, 1979)

The applicant desiring to effect a boundary adjustment shall file a tentative parcel map labeled: "Boundary Adjustment" with the City Planner and pay the fee prescribed by Chapter 18.76. Said fee shall not be refundable.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.020, 1979)

The tentative parcel map shall be processed as set forth in Chapter 18.44; provided, however, that the City Planner shall finally approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a tentative parcel map for boundary adjustment purposes within 15 calendar days of the date of application. No preliminary decision is necessary. The applicant shall be notified, by written notice, of the decision of the City Planner pursuant to Section 18.44.150.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.030, 1979)

A boundary adjustment shall be disapproved on any of the grounds set forth in subsections B through D of Section 18.44.160 and, in addition, the City Planner shall disapprove any boundary adjustment that:

A. Impairs any existing access or easements or creates a need for any new access or easements serving any adjacent lots or parcels; or

B. Requires substantial alteration on any existing improvements or creates a need for any new improvements.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.040, 1979)

The City Planner may not require as conditions of approval for a tentative parcel map for boundary adjustment purposes any conditions that are required for any tentative parcel map, except the showing and setting of monuments pursuant to Chapter 18.60.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.050, 1979)

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, each lot delineated in a tentative parcel map for boundary adjustment purposes shall have safe, adequate and traversable access at least 20 feet in width to a dedicated public street, either in fee or by means of recorded easement access; provided, however, that in no cases shall any boundary adjustment be approved that causes use of private easement access by a greater number of lots than used such private easement access prior to the adjustment.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.060, 1979)

A parcel map for boundary adjustment purposes conforming to the tentative parcel map as approved shall be filed pursuant to Section 18.44.200.

(Ord. 459 § 16.16.070, 1979)
