(A) Tentative approval.
(1) The procedure for application, review, and tentative approval of property line adjustments shall be as set forth in § 152.204(A) of this chapter. A property line adjustment shall be tentatively approved provided that:
(a) No additional lots or parcels will be created;
(b) The subject lots, parcels, or tracts of land will not be reduced in size to below the minimum area required by the applicable use zone;
(c) The proposed lots, parcels, or tracts of land as adjusted will comply with any required minimum width requirement as set forth in the applicable use zone;
(d) The proposed property line adjustment will not reduce any yard or other setback below that required under applicable zoning;
(e) The proposed property line adjustment will not reduce the street or road frontage of the subject lots or parcels to below that required by the city code;
(f) The proposed property line adjustment will not reduce any setback for an existing on-site sewage disposal system or approved replacement area below the required minimum; and
(g) The proposed property line adjustment will not increase the degree of non-conformity on vacant lots, parcels, or tracts that do not conform to lot size, width, or depth requirements, or on developed lots if the increase in non-conformity results in adjacent property becoming further dividable. The proposed property line adjustment will not increase the degree of non-conformity for required yards.
(2) Tentative approval of a property line adjustment is valid for a period of one year. Tentative approval may be extended by the City Planner prior to expiration of tentative approval. Requests shall specify reasons for requiring a time extension, along with a specific plan and timeline for completion. Only one time extension of up to one year may be granted.
(B) Final approval.
(1) The procedure for application, review, and final approval of property line adjustments shall be as set forth in § 152.204(B) of this chapter.
(2) Final approval of a property line adjustment shall be granted upon submittal of the following:
(a) A copy of a filed survey of the property line adjustment in accordance with the applicable state statute and in substantial conformance with the tentative approval, except that property line adjustments where all lots, tracts, or parcels affected are greater than ten acres need not be surveyed or monumented;
(b) Copies of recorded conveyances conforming to the tentatively approved property line adjustment and containing the names of the parties with proper acknowledgment; and
(c) Such other documentation as may be required by the City Planner to verify conformance with any requirements or conditions of the tentative approval.
