An adjustment may be filed in compliance with the provisions of this chapter to adjust the lot lines between four or fewer adjoining parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjoining parcel, and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not created. The city engineer shall approve a lot line adjustment after receiving a recommendation from the community development department and upon determining that the proposed adjustment does not:
A. Additional Parcels. Create additional parcels;
B. Not Legal. Include parcels which are not legal, as defined in this development code;
C. Access. Impair existing access or easements or create a need for new access or easements to adjacent parcels, and street improvements or other subdivision improvements are not required;
D. Minimum Standards. Result in either one of the parcels failing to meet the minimum standards of this development code;
E. Public Improvements. Require substantial alteration of existing public improvements or create a need for new public improvements; or
F. Covenant of Improvement. Adjust the lot line between adjacent parcels for which a covenant of improvement requirements has been recorded and all required improvements have not been completed, unless the di-rector determines that the proposed lot line adjustment would not significantly affect the covenant of improvement requirements.
