A. The planning director or designee may approve lot line adjustments as herein provided. A current preliminary title report shall be required to accompany a lot line adjustment request. This report is required in order to ensure that the properties or portions thereof are not encumbered with liens, delinquent taxes, trust deeds and/or utility easements on the property which would conflict with the requested lot line adjustment. If the boundaries described within a recorded encumbering document do conflict with the boundaries as described in the requested lot line adjustment, the planning director shall require that such a conflict be eliminated. In addition, if any of the lots are improved, the planning director shall refer the proposed lot line adjustment to the City Engineer for review of possible encroachments.
B. The planning officer or designee shall make the following findings prior to approval of a lot line adjustment:
1. The proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable community and specific plans.
2. The proposed lot line adjustment will not adversely affect public health and safety.
