The proposed lot line adjustment shall meet the following standards:

The adjusted boundary shall be surveyed and monumented and a survey shall be filed with the Polk County Surveyor. (Amended by Ord. 1374 § 1 (Exh. A), June 20, 2017. Code 1983 § 97.805C.)

17.40.050 Survey and the filing deadlines.
The survey and deed required by MCC 17.40.030 and 17.40.040 shall be filed or recorded within 180 days of final approval of the lot line adjustment or the approval shall be null and void. The City Planner may grant one extension of up to 180 days. (Code 1983 § 97.805E.)
17.40.060 Lot line adjustment.
Meeting the above requirements shall be an alternative procedure to the replat of the subdivision, as described in ORS 92.190(3), in which the lots are located. (Code 1983 § 97.805F.)
17.40.070 Decision.
A decision of the City Planner on an administrative lot line adjustment is not a land use decision. A denial of a lot line adjustment may be appealed to the Planning Commission by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Planner within 15 days of the date the notice of decision is mailed. A proposed lot line adjustment, which does not meet all of the above requirements, may be refiled as a request for partition upon payment of the filing fee for a partition and the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance applicable to partitions shall then apply. (Code 1983 § 97.805G.)
