A. Approval criteria. The Planning Official shall approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a boundary adjustment in writing based on findings addressing all of the following criteria:
1. No additional parcel(s) shall be created by the boundary adjustment;
2. The lot and location of any structure(s) on the lots shall comply with the minimum density, dimensional and area requirements of the zoning district, unless a variance is sought in conjunction with the request per the requirements of Chapter 20.290. Per VMC 20.410.040 (C)(1)(a), lots developed or approved before March 11, 2004, are exempt from the requirement for minimum density/maximum lot size. However, if a site is completely redeveloped, the new development must comply with the minimum density requirements contained in Table 20.410.010-1.
3. Legal access shall be provided to each of the lots; and
B. Exemptions from dedications. A boundary adjustment is not considered a development action for purposes of determining whether a dedication or improvement is required. (Ord. M-3922 § 17, 07/06/2009; Ord. M-3643, 01/26/2004)
