The purpose of this chapter is to clearly delineate the criteria used by City departments to review boundary line adjustments. Boundary line adjustments provide a procedure for changes in property lines where no new lots, units, or parcels are created. A boundary line adjustment is generally exempt from the provisions of Chapter 58.17 RCW. A boundary line adjustment does not apply to boundary changes that would result in increased development or density otherwise regulated by applicable City land use codes and regulations, or to actions requiring replat, amendment, alteration, or vacation of a plat or short subdivision. For plat alterations, see Chapter 17.17 LMC. This chapter is also intended to ensure compliance with the Survey Recording Act. [Ord. 726 § 2(Exh. A), 2019; Ord. 591 § 70, 2015; Ord. 60 § 1, 1996.]
