Lot Line Adjustment Planning Application Packet
A lot line adjustment is a process by which it is possible to sell property to an adjoining owner, or to reconfigure parcels under one ownership, without recording a parcel map. State law defines the Lot Line Adjustment as follows: A lot line adjustment between two or more existing parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjacent parcel, and where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created, provided the lot line adjustment is approved by the local agency. Of the new lots created, neither one can become more non-conforming with respect to the town’s zoning requirements than it was prior to the adjustment. The Planning Director and Town Engineer hold a public hearing on the proposed lot line adjustment and determine whether the lot line can be adjusted. If they approve the application, the Engineer checks the new lot descriptions, a resolution is adopted and the applicant’s Title Company completes the recording of the transaction
