1. Approval Required. Prior to the recording of a lot line adjustment between adjoining properties within a platted subdivision, the adjustment must first be approved by the Administrative Land Use Authority. 2. Review. Application and the review of a proposed lot line adjustment shall follow the procedures listed below: a. Application. An applicant, either an owner of one of the properties or a representative of the owners, shall submit a complete application which shall include: i. Property owner(s) affidavit acknowledging the consent of each party for the proposed adjustment between the lots. ii. Property survey(s) with all existing improvements to the lots and reference to the subdivision within which the properties are located including easements located on the lots; iii. A legal description of each of the proposed lots after the lot line is changed including any changes to platted easements associated with the lots; iv. A site plan or exhibit serving as a visual depiction of the lot line adjustment. Although not a plat, the site plan or exhibit shall sufficiently represent the new lots and include adjacent lots within the subdivision; v. Any necessary improvement plans, agreements, or additional materials needed for review as determined by the City Planner, City Engineer, or designees. b. Review Procedure. Upon receipt and payment of a complete application, the Administrative Land Use Authority shall commence the review of the lot line adjustment request. The review shall be completed, with a written response returned to the applicant, within fourteen (14) business days from the date of complete application. The reviewing parties shall review the adjustment for compliance with city zoning and public works standards. 3. Final Approval. If the proposed lot line adjustment complies with all city ordinances and development standards, written approval shall be provided to the applicant by the City Planner or designee. 4. Recording. Upon final approval from the Administrative Land Use Authority, the applicant shall record the approved documents at the office of the Davis County Recorder to complete the lot line adjustment. The lot line adjustment may be completed by quitclaim deed or boundary line agreement and shall be accompanied by the following: a. The written notice of approval of the lot line adjustment by Fruit Heights City that recites the legal descriptions of both the original lots and the lots resulting from the exchange of title; b. The approved site plan or exhibit depicting the new lot boundaries along with adjacent lots within the subdivision; and c. Any other documents deemed necessary as part of the lot line adjustment approval. 5. Exception.

All lot line adjustments shall comply with applicable state code regulations found under section §10-9a-608 (5). A lot line adjustment shall follow the procedures provided herein unless an amended plat is required per state statute.
