The purpose of this chapter is to provide a method whereby lot lines may be adjusted between four or fewer existing adjoining parcels, up to a maximum of four parcels. Not lot line adjustment may take place where the effect is to create any additional parcels.
(Ord. 1760 § 2, 2002)
A "lot line adjustment"
means the adjustment or relocation of any property line between four or fewer existing adjoining, legally recognized parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjoining parcel, and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created.
(Ord. 1760 § 4, 2002)
Any persons who desire to obtain approval of a lot line adjustment shall submit an application on forms obtained from the department of planning and redevelopment. The application for a lot line adjustment requires the completion of a form regarding information of ownership and legal descriptions of the properties involved, the payment of a processing fee, and the preparation of a map which illustrates the proposed adjustment.
The required map shall contain the following information:
(1) 
Applicant's name, address and phone number;
(2) 
Legal description of both properties as they exist and how they will exist following the adjustment;
(3) 
Map of the property with the location of all buildings, structures, streets and alleys;
(4) 
Location and width of all easements upon or abutting the properties;
(5) 
The location of the proposed lot line adjustment, along with all dimensions and bearings;
(6) 
Scale; north arrow and the date of preparation of the map.
The director of planning and redevelopment may, at his or her discretion, require a survey of the properties involved, if he or she finds it necessary in order to provide an adequate description of the subject properties.
(Ord. 1450 § 1, 1985)
The director of planning and redevelopment may approve, or conditionally approve a request for a lot line adjustment if he or she finds that:
(1) 
No street or alley dedication or improvements are necessary to properly service the properties involved;
(2) 
The adjustment does not substantially change the size or shape of the lots involved;
(3) 
The lot line adjustment complies with the general plan of the city;
(4) 
The lot line adjustment, as proposed, will comply with all zoning regulations of the city.
If the director of planning and redevelopment finds any of the foregoing facts not present, he or she shall deny the lot line adjustment. In case of denial, the applicants may appeal the decision to the planning commission within fifteen days of the date of such decision.
(Ord. 1450 § 1, 1985)
Upon approval of a lot line adjustment, the director of planning and redevelopment shall authorize a certificate of compliance to be filed for recording with the county recorder. The certificate of compliance shall state the legal description of the parcels and the compliance with all applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the Glendora Municipal Code. The lot line adjustment shall be reflected in a deed, which shall be approved by the director of planning and redevelopment, and shall be recorded with the county recorder.
(Ord. 1760 § 6, 2002)
The application for a lot line adjustment shall be accompanied by the payment of a filing fee as established by city council resolution.
