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, accompanied by such information as the department may require and by a fee in such amount as established by resolution of the City Council. The application shall be signed by the owner of the property involved, and accompanied by a plot plan, eight and one half inches by 14 inches in size and in a form prescribed by the Director, a title report, and a legal description of the proposed lot line adjustment, subject to the review of the City Engineer.
(Prior code § 26-5.1; Ord. 21-1722 § 2)
A. 
Within 30 days after an application for a lot line adjustment has been filed, the Director 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 may impose such conditions of approval, to be satisfied prior to recordation of the lot line adjustment, as the Director finds necessary to ensure that the boundary adjustments involved are in full compliance with the requirements of this title.
C. 
In any case where a lot line adjustment is approved, the department shall file a certificate of compliance with the County Recorder's office.
(Prior code § 26-5.2; Ord. 21-1722 § 2)
If the applicant is dissatisfied with any action taken by the Director, such action may be appealed to the Planning Commission within 10 days of the date of mailing of a notice of the action taken by the Director. The Planning Commission shall consider such an appeal at its next regularly scheduled meeting and may either approve, conditionally approve or deny the application for a lot line adjustment.
