Description: A lot-line adjustment is
required to move a property line between two or more
existing adjacent lots or parcels without creating a new
lot. Examples: A lot-line adjustment may be used
whenever minor adjustments are needed to a given lot or
lots. For example, if one property owner wishes to purchase
a portion of an adjoining lot, a lot-line adjustment can be
used to move the property line to the new location,
increasing the size of one parcel, and decreasing the size
of the other. The overall number of parcels may be
reduced by a lot-line adjustment, however no new parcels may be
created.
PROCESS OVERVIEW:

Project Review
All application packets must be received by a
Planning Technician or Planner to determine if all
submittal criteria have been met. A staff member will be
assigned to work with the applicant(s); the application
will be reviewed for completeness and referred to
pertinent agencies to determine zoning compliance.
Project Approval
If the resulting lots conform to the City's zoning
regulations, and if no problems are found with the
agreement or property descriptions, the lot-line
adjustment will be approved by Planning Divisions staff;
however, documents cannot be recorded with the County
Clerk-Recorder until the appeal period has passed.
Appeal
As noted in the Lot-Line Adjustment application packet,
there is a 15-day appeal period in which parties may
challenge staff's decision.
Final Action
After the required 15-day appeal period, the
Secretary of the Planning Commission signs the
Certificate of Approval. The City will record the
agreement and the Certificate of Approval with the
County Clerk-Recorder.
