16.16.030 Lot combinations/voluntary mergers.
Lot lines may be eliminated, and adjacent lots may be voluntarily joined into a single parcel of land through the recordation of a notice of merger and certificate of subdivision compliance.
A. Application Submittal Requirements. An application and required fees for processing and recording a voluntary merger shall be filed with the community development department, and shall contain such information and reports as may be required by the application submittal package or by the community development director in order to verify:
1. Ownership;
2. That the affected lots were legally created; and
3. That the legal description of property to be merged matches the legal description of the same property as it is reflected in recorded deeds or maps.
B. Review and Recordation. Once planning and engineering staff have determined that information submitted with the application is consistent with recorded information pertinent to the merger, community development staff shall forward the notice of merger and certificate of subdivision compliance to the county recorder.
