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.

and redevelopment shall authorize a certificate of compliance to be

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.
