(Ord. 2024-1, 1-9-2024)

14-7-2: APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT:

   A.   When parcels or lots are combined following the procedures in this chapter, they are considered a single parcel or lot for purposes of applying the land use ordinance.

   B.   Once combined under this chapter, the prior parcels or lot may not be sold or conveyed separately without approval of a subdivision or other procedure authorized under this code.

   C.   This chapter does not limit the ability of property owners to combine the legal descriptions of separate parcels or lots for taxing or sale purposes without following the requirements of this chapter. However, parcels or lots combined only for taxing or sale purposes remain separate parcels or lots for purposes applying the land use ordinance until or unless they are combined following the provisions of this chapter.

   D.   A lot combination approved under this chapter serves to amend a subdivision without requiring a subdivision plat amendment under Utah Code 10-9a-6014. As an alternative to this chapter, a property owner may apply to combine lots through a subdivision plat amendment or plat vacation under Chapter 9.

   A.   The Manager shall review and may approve, approve with conditions, or deny a parcel combination or lot combination application.

   B.   The Manager shall hold a public meeting prior to making a decision on a lot combination application. Notice of the public meeting giving the date, time and location of the meeting and opportunity to comment on the proposal shall be mailed not less than seven (7) days before the public meeting to each owner of property located within three hundred feet (300') of the subject property, addressed to the owner's mailing address appearing on the rolls of the Weber County Assessor.
