A boundary line adjustment is the moving of a boundary line between adjacent parcels. A boundary line adjustment does not create any new lots, tracts, parcels, or sites. A boundary line adjustment must also not create or result in any lot, tract, parcel, or site which contains insufficient area and dimensions to meet minimum requirements for width, lot size, and area for building as required by this section. The newly acquired land must be combined on the same deed for recording purposes as the remainder of the owner’s property.
(A) Application. An owner proposing to undertake a boundary line adjustment must submit a complete application to the city together with the applicable fees. The owner must submit the following additional information with its application in order for the application to be considered complete:
(1) A certificate of survey showing the current boundary lines and the proposed boundary lines after adjustment;
(2) The current legal descriptions of the parcels; and
(3) The resulting legal descriptions of the altered parcels.
(B) Procedure. Complete applications must be submitted to the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator shall review the application and make a determination. If a boundary line adjustment is approved, the city will send a letter to the County Recorder/Registrar of Titles indicating its approval. The applicant shall be required to prepare and record such documents with the County Recorder/Registrar of Titles as may be needed to complete the boundary line adjustment. All boundary line adjustment approvals shall be recorded at the County Recorder’s office within one year of approval. Any application not recorded within that time frame shall be deemed void and require a new application.
