• A. No new parcels are created, and no existing parcels are deleted;

• B. No parcel is reduced below the minimum lot area required by the zoning designation set forth in Title 17 and the General Plan of the City;

• C. The proposed adjustment is exempt from the Subdivision Map Act, and no tentative map, final map or parcel map, shall be required as a condition to the approval of a lot line adjustment;

• D. Public rights-of-way are not altered in any way unless approved by the Director of Transportation.

• (Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 16.68.010)

Applications for lot line adjustment as defined in Section 16.04.060(B) shall be made to the Planning Director on forms provided by the Planning Department. The applications shall be accompanied by the fee set forth in Chapter 3.44.

(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 16.68.020)

Upon receipt of a completed application, the Planning Department shall transmit the material to the following agencies: Transportation Department, County Surveyor, 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 Planning 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 Planning 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 30 days of the lot line adjustment application being accepted as complete, the Planning 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.
