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.

four or fewer existing adjoining, legally recognized parcels, where
the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjoining parcel, and

created.

shall submit an application on forms obtained from the department
of planning and redevelopment. The application for a lot line adjustment

proposed adjustment.

(2)
Legal description of both properties as they exist and how they will
exist following the adjustment;

streets and alleys;
(4)

(5)
The location of the proposed lot line adjustment, along with all

(6)

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:

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.
