11-1-8.30 Boundary Line Adjustment and Parcel Combinations

1. The representative of the zoning department may, upon petition, consider and approve a boundary line adjustment or parcel combination of a metes and bounds parcel, under the provisions of this Section and Utah Code. Petitions to adjust parcel lines between adjacent properties may be executed upon the recordation of an appropriate deed if: a. No new dwelling lot or housing unit results from the adjustment, b. The adjoining property owners consent, in writing, to the new parcel lines, c. The boundary line adjustment does not result in remnant land that did not previously exist, and d. The adjustment does not result in any violation of applicable zoning requirements. 2. A request to combine two (2) legally existing parcels may be approved by the City without any public hearing, Planning Commission, or City Council approval, unless the parcel combination involves the vacation of a street, right-of-way, or easement. Following approval, the applicant shall prepare and record deeds removing the property line between the two (2) parcels. 3. If the boundary line adjustment or combination involves the vacation of a street, right-ofway, or easement, the applicable requirements of Utah Code, including Utah Code § 109a-609.5, shall be satisfied. 4. If public utilities exist in the public utility easement between the two (2) parcels, the public utilities shall be relocated to an appropriate easement at the expense of the applicant for a boundary line adjustment. 5. The boundary line proposed to be adjusted must be surveyed by a licensed surveyor and the existing property line(s) and the proposed property line(s) will need to be identified. This will allow the City and representatives of the private utility companies to determine whether the proposed boundary line adjustment will impact the ability of the utility company to provide adequate service. In making a determination concerning a boundary line adjustment, the representative of the zoning department shall consider, at a minimum, the following: a. Utility easements surrounding each parcel or through a parcel, b. The impact on the ability of any other utility provider to serve the properties, and c. The vacation of existing easements and the potential recording of new easements. 6. If the boundary line adjustment satisfies all applicable ordinances and resolutions of Moroni City, a notice of approval shall be recorded in the office of the Sanpete County Recorder that satisfies the provisions of Utah Code § 10-9a-609 (1953 as amended). The notice of approval does not convey title. To convey title, the adjoining property owner(s) will need to prepare and record a quit claim deed, warranty deed, or other acceptable instrument in the office of the County Recorder. 7. Denial: A request for a boundary line adjustment to accommodate development may be denied by the representative of the zoning department if it is determined the application fails to meet the requirements of this Title or Utah State Code.
