(Amended 11/09/04; 07/10/12) A. The owners of record on adjacent parcels that are described by either a metes and bounds description or a recorded plat may exchange title to portions of those parcels or make lot line adjustments if the exchange of title or adjustment is approved by the Zoning Administrator in accordance with Subsection B. The Zoning Administrator may require the approval of a lot line adjustment be forwarded to the Reviewing Departments or Planning Commission if the Zoning Administrator determines the adjustment may have an impact on the health, safety, or general welfare of the surrounding properties, property values, or residents. B. All applications for lot line adjustments shall include: 1. a scaled drawing showing the proposed lot line adjustment, including the location of adjacent streets, the location of each lot affected by the adjustment, lot dimensions and lot sizes of the subject properties before and after the proposed lot line adjustment, and any other information deemed necessary by the Zoning Administrator to determine whether the proposed adjustment will result in a violation of applicable zoning requirements; 2. a legal description of the proposed lot line adjustment prepared by a licensed surveyor; and 3. if the lot line adjustment affects any public utility easements, a Disclaimer of Easement Verification Form provided by the City, signed by each affected public utility necessary to vacate the public utility easement. C. The Zoning Administrator shall approve an exchange of title under Subsection A if: 1. no new dwelling lot or housing unit will result from the exchange of title; 2. the exchange of title will not result in a violation of applicable zoning requirements; and 3. any affected public utility easements have been vacated or modified as necessary. D. If an exchange of title is approved under Subsection C, a notice of approval shall be recorded by the Zoning Administrator or designee, in the Office of the County Recorder which: 1. is executed by each owner included in the exchange and by the Zoning Administrator, or Planning Commission Chair, whichever is applicable; 2. contains an acknowledgment for each party executing the notice in accordance with the provisions of Title 57, Chapter 2a, Recognition of Acknowledgments Act; and 3. recites the descriptions of both the original parcels and the parcels created by the exchange of title. E. A notice of approval recorded under this section does not act as a conveyance of title to real property and is not required for the recording of a document purporting to convey title to real property. F. Following approval of the lot line adjustment, the applicant is responsible to file the necessary title conveyance documents with the Utah County Recorders’ Office.
