It is the County policy to provide for the adjustment of property boundaries between contiguous parcels in a manner consistent with State Law. The Planning Department shall limit its review and approval to a determination of whether or not the parcels resulting from the Lot Line Adjustment will conform to local building and zoning ordinances. The County of Humboldt shall not impose conditions or exactions on its approval of a Lot Line Adjustment except to conform to local zoning and building ordinances, or except to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure or easements. No tentative map, parcel map, or final map shall be required as a condition of approval to the Lot Line Adjustment. The Lot Line Adjustment shall be reflected in a deed and in a Record of Survey or Notice of Lot Line Adjustment which shall be recorded. (Ord. 1911, § 1, 10/23/1990)

This policy reflects a distinction between “subdivision” as defined by State statutes as a type of land division development, and “lot line adjustment” which is not a land division or a development. (Ord. 1911, § 1, 10/23/1990)

EXCEPTION: When parcels being adjusted are held in common ownership, no new deeds shall be required for the purpose of the Lot Line Adjustment process. A Notice of Lot Line Adjustment shall be required. (Ord. 1911, § 1, 10/23/1990)
