An application that complies with all of the general evaluation criteria listed below and the requirements of the boundary line adjustment submittal and review process of EMC Title 15, Local Project Review Procedures, shall be approved. An application that does not comply with these criteria shall be denied by the city.

A. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow the adjustment of boundary lines which will result in the creation of any additional lot, tract, parcel, building site, or division, nor create any lot, tract, parcel, building site, or division which contains insufficient area dimension to meet the minimum requirements as specified by Chapter 19.06 EMC for lots, tracts, parcels, or building sites;

B. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow the adjustment of boundary lines which will result in directional changes in the orientation of the lot(s), tract(s), parcel(s), or building sites, such as the changing of front yards into side or rear yards or vice versa;

C. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow the adjustment of boundary lines where the adjustment will result in an increase in the potential number of dwelling units on lots, tracts, parcels or building sites permitted;

D. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow the adjustment of boundary lines of nonconforming lots where the adjustment of the line(s) will result in making the lots, tracts, parcels or building sites more nonconforming;

E. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow boundary lines to be adjusted when the adjustment will result in the city being unable to provide adequate utilities;

F. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow boundary lines to be adjusted when the adjustment will result in inadequate frontage on a public street;

G. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow boundary lines to be adjusted where such adjustment will likely create an unusable lot, that is subject to the reasonable use process as defined in the critical area regulations in Chapter 19.37 EMC; and

H. The proposed boundary line adjustment shall not allow a boundary line to be adjusted where the adjustment will result in a violation of a city or state code. (Ord. 3774-20 § 5(M) (Exh. 3), 2020.)
