(2) No parcel is reduced below the minimum lot area required by the zoning designation set forth in Title 9 and the comprehensive general plan of Jurupa Valley;

(Ord. No. 2021-09, § 4, 4-15-2021)

Upon receipt of a completed application, the Planning Department shall transmit the material to the following agencies: transportation department, City Engineer, health, fire, building and safety, assessor departments, and flood control district. The applicant and his or her representative shall be notified of any concerns set forth by the reviewing agencies which may delay approval of the applications. The Community Development Director shall limit his or her review and approval to a determination of whether or not the parcels resulting from the adjustment will conform to state law and city ordinances, and shall not impose conditions or exactions on the approval except to conform to city ordinances, or to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, easements or improvements. When special circumstances applicable to a parcel of property, including, but not limited to, topographic constraints, parcel orientation, access restrictions, methods of circulation, existing improvements, and/or urbanization of the property under a requested permit, the Community Development Director may, upon sufficient documentation and justification, approve a lot line adjustment so long as the proposed adjustment is not in conflict with state law, city ordinances, and requirements set by other city departments or agencies. Within thirty (30) days of the lot line adjustment application being accepted as complete, the Community Development Director shall conditionally approve, disapprove or notify the applicant and his or her representative that the request does not meet the requirements of a lot line adjustment. Applications for lot line adjustment shall not be considered final until the exhibits and new legal descriptions, or amended deed, reflecting the adjustment have been recorded.
