The boundary lines separating two lots of record may only be adjusted under the provisions of this chapter. Extinguishing such lot lines or the merger of lots is also considered a boundary line adjustment subject to the requirements of this chapter. Actions which change or impair conditions or requirements imposed by previous platting decisions must be accomplished pursuant to the subdivision regulations. Boundary line adjustments shall not:

A. Create any additional lot, tract, parcel, site, or division;

B. Result in a lot, tract, parcel, site, or division which contains increased density or insufficient area or dimension to meet the minimum requirements for area and dimension as set forth in the land use and health codes and regulations. This provision shall not be construed to require correction or remedy of preexisting nonconformities or substandard conditions;

C. Diminish or impair drainage, water supply, existing sanitary sewage disposal, and access or easement for vehicles, utilities, and fire protection for any lot, tract, parcel, site, or division;

D. Create or diminish any easement or deprive any parcel of access or utilities;

E. Increase the nonconforming aspects of an existing nonconforming lot;

F. Replat, alter, or vacate a plat or short subdivision;

G. Amend the conditions of approval for previously platted property;

H. Reduce the overall area in a plat or short plat devoted to open space;

I. Involve lots which do not have a common boundary;

J. Circumvent the subdivision or short subdivision procedures set forth in this title. Factors which indicate that the boundary line adjustment process is being used in a manner inconsistent with statutory intent include: numerous and frequent adjustments to the existing lot boundary, a proposal to move a lot or building site to a different location, and a large number of lots being proposed for a boundary line adjustment; or

K. Be inconsistent with applicable City code. [Ord. 591 § 71, 2015; Ord. 60 § 1, 1996.]
