(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 16.10.010; Ord. 07-O-587 § 2)
The provisions of this chapter apply to all lands within the city limits which are proposed to be further divided into lots or parcels.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 16.10.020; Ord. 07-O-587 § 2)
The following procedures are intended to expedite land divisions, and to ensure thorough public review and comment for land division which may have greater neighborhood impact to existing and future public facilities and services.
A. 
Preapplication Conference. Prior to submitting a preliminary map or plat for review, the applicant is encouraged to request a preapplication conference with city staff, unless the applicant and city manager, or his/her designee, agree that the conference is not needed.
Subdivision applications are required to have a preapplication conference conducted by the subdivision committee as stated in BMC § 17.172.070(A).
1. 
The purpose of the conference is to acquaint the applicant with the substantive and procedural requirements of this section, to provide for an exchange of information regarding applicable elements of the comprehensive plan and development code requirements, and to otherwise identify policies and regulations that create opportunities or pose significant constraints for the proposed development.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1. Formerly 16.10.030; Ord. 07-O-587 § 2)
A complete application together with all required filing materials shall be submitted to the city manager or his/her designee prior to review of the request.
A. 
Lot Line Adjustment. A lot line adjustment alters a property line between two existing discrete parcels or lots.
1. 
Application and Submittal Requirements.

Completed application form and fee. All vested property owners of the parcels involved shall sign the application.
b. 
Two copies of a map of survey prepared by a surveyor licensed in the state of Oregon.

d. 
Current deeds with legal descriptions of each parcel associated with the proposed adjustment.
e. 
New legal description of each parcel after adjustment.
2. 
Criteria for Approval. The city manager or his/her designee shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request based upon the following criteria:
a. 
An additional lot is not created by the lot line adjustment.
b. 
An existing parcel is not reduced in size below the minimum lot size established by the applicable zoning district.
c. 
The adjusted lot configuration does not result in a substandard condition relative to all applicable site development standards of this code.
d. 
Failure to provide any information required by this code shall not constitute a waiver to any standards, criteria or requirements of this code.
3. 
Filing an Approved Lot Line Adjustment. Within 60 days of approval, the applicant shall file an approved map with the Curry County surveyor and record the resulting deed(s) with the new descriptions with the office of the clerk. If this process is not completed within 60 days from the date of approval, the approval becomes null and void. The city may consider and approve an extension if a written request and justification is submitted. The applicant shall provide a copy of the filed map and recorded deeds to the city planning department to complete the process.
4. 
Appeals. The final action of the city manager or his/her designee may be appealed pursuant to Chapter 17.156 BMC.

Staff will send an approval letter with the plot plan and descriptions to the Curry County surveyor and to the Curry County assessor’s office to authorize updating of the assessor’s map and the recording of a deed for the newly created parcel. The applicant shall provide a copy of the recorded deed to the city planning department to complete the process. If this process is not completed within 60 days from the date of approval, the approval becomes null and void. The city may consider and approve an extension if a written request and justification is submitted.

When driveway access from arterial or major collector streets is necessary for several adjoining lots, the review authority shall require that such lots be served by a combined access driveway in order to limit possible traffic hazards on such streets. The driveway shall be designed and arranged to prohibit vehicles from backing into traffic traveling on arterials. An access control strip may be required to be placed along all lots abutting arterial streets requiring access onto the lesser class street where possible.
E. 
Fire Protection. The fire marshal may require the installation of a fire hydrant where the length of an accessway would have a detrimental effect on fire-fighting capabilities.
F. 
Reciprocal Easements. Where a common drive is to be provided to serve more than one lot, a reciprocal easement which will ensure access rights shall be recorded with, and shown on, the approved final plat.
