CITeOF SAN BERNARDI. - REQUE. FOR COUNCIL AC,.N
STAFF REPORT
The ordinance relating to provisions for lot line adjustment
is intended to simplify the procedures for granting lot line
adjustments and to expedite applications. Under the present
Code, lot line adjustments are handled in the same way as
parcel maps. That means that they are subject to
Environmental Review Committee review and the notice and
hearing requirements: each lot line adjustment is subject to a
full blown public hearing before the Planning Commission.
The attached amendment allows for the administrative review
and approval of lot line adjustments. Instead of going to the
Environmental Review Committee and the Planning Commission,
lot line adjustments can be approved administratively by the
Development Review Commission upon the finding that the
resulting parcels comply with all requirements of the Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinances. That means that the lot line
adjustment procedure cannot be used to create substandard or
nonconforming parcels.
This ordinance is expected to simplify applications for lot
line adjustments as well as to reduce the time for processing
and to reduce staff time utilized on each application.
