Any person desiring a lot line adjustment between two or more existing parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjacent parcel, and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created, shall file an application for a lot line adjustment with the department of planning and community development, accompanied by such information, as the department may require, and by a fee as established by resolution. The application shall be accompanied by a plot plan, eight-and-a-half inches by fourteen inches in size, and in a form prescribed by the director of planning and community development, the signature of the owner(s) of the property involved, a title report for the owner(s), and a legal description of the proposed lot line adjustment subject to the review of the city engineer. (Ord. 82-3-889 § 1 (part))

A. Within thirty days after said application for approval of a lot line adjustment has been filed, the director of planning and community development shall approve or conditionally approve the lot line adjustment if the lot line adjustment does not:

1. Create any new lots;
2. Include any lots or parcels created illegally;
3. Impair any existing access or create a need for new access to any adjacent lots or parcels;
4. Impair any existing easements or create a need for any new easements serving adjacent lots or parcels;
5. Constitute poor land planning or undesirable lot configurations due to existing environmental conditions;
6. Require substantial alteration of any existing improvements or create a need for any new improvements. B. The director of planning and community development may impose such conditions of approval to be satisfied prior to recordation of the lot line adjustment, as the director finds necessary, to insure that the boundary adjustments involved are in full compliance with this title.

C. In any case where a lot line adjustment is approved, the department of planning and community development shall file a certificate of compliance with the county recorder's office. (Ord. 82-3-889 § 1 (part))

If the applicant is dissatisfied with any action taken by the director of planning and community development, the decision may be appealed to the planning commission within ten days of the date of mailing a notice of the action taken by the director of planning and community development. The planning commission shall consider such appeal at their next scheduled meeting and may either approve, conditionally approve, or deny the lot line adjustment. (Ord. 82-3-889 § 1 (part))
