Proceedings for a lot line adjustment may be initiated by an application of the owners of record of the respective parcels, which application shall contain the following information or documents and such other information or documents as may be required for a proper determination of the application by the planning commission:

(1)

Evidence of title to the respective parcels as shown by a preliminary title report;

(2)

Evidence of consent of all owners of an interest or a lien in or to said properties;

(3)

A site plan indicating existing topography, drainage, utilities, structures and structures immediately adjacent to the boundaries of the parcels, on a scale of 1/8th of an inch = 1 foot or larger.

In the event the planning director denies such application for a lot line adjustment or imposes conditions unacceptable to the applicant, the applicant may file the application for such lot line adjustment with the planning commission, which may grant such lot line adjustment on the terms and conditions set forth in this chapter.

(Ord. 664 § 1, 1992: Ord. 613 (part), 1986).

The planning director or the planning commission may impose reasonable conditions to its approval of any lot line adjustment so as to make the lot line adjustment conform to zoning and building ordinances of the city and to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements.

(Ord. 664 § 2, 1992: Ord. 613 (part), 1986).

Upon approval of the lot line adjustment and full compliance with any conditions imposed by the planning commission, the lot line adjustment shall be reflected in a deed or record of survey which shall be recorded.
