Page 1 of 4Revised: January 2006 Planning Department Application Packet LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT Description: A lot line adjustment is a request to modify the boundaries of adjoining lots or parcels where the result does not increase in the number of lots, parcels or building sites. Lot line adjustments may be approved by the Alpine County Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The approval may include conditions to insure that the adjustment will conform to Alpine County building codes and zoning ordinances, require that real property taxes be paid, and facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure and easements. Conditions must be satisfied before final approval of the adjustment. A record of survey will be required if the adjustment requires the setting of new survey points as provided in Section 8762 of the State of California Business and Professions Code. The TAC decision on a lot line adjustment may be appealed as provided in Section 18.88 of the Alpine County Code. Application Deadline: A complete application must be submitted to the Alpine County Planning Department at least three weeks prior to the meeting with the TAC. The Planning Department will check the application to determine if it is complete. If complete, processing will begin. If incomplete, the applicant will be informed in writing and all additional information required for a complete application must be submitted before processing will begin. deposit: An initial development processing deposit of $750 is required. The County’s costs to process and review the proposal are charged against the deposit (includes, but is not limited to, staff time, copies, postage, public notices). If deposited funds are reduced to less than 25% of the initial deposit amount during project processing, additional funds will be required in order to continue with processing. Any balance remaining after processing is completed and all conditions of approval satisfied will be refunded. A separate and additional deposit will be required for environmental processing if applicable to the proposed lot line adjustment. A portion of the payment is fee based and not refundable. Pre-application Meeting and Application Checklist: Applicants are encouraged to meet with the Planning Director to discuss the proposal and County requirements prior to submitting an application. During this meeting, the applicant and the Planning Director can review the application checklist together and note the items that will be required. The Planning Director will determine if items are required or not required based on the nature and location of the proposal. Applicants should check with the Planning Director before assuming that any of the items listed in the application checklist are not applicable. Multiple copies of some or all of the application materials may be required. The Planning Director will determine the number of copies required. Environmental Review: Consideration of a lot line adjustment is usually exempt from the environmental review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As the “lead agency”, Alpine County will determine if the proposal is exempt or excluded from CEQA review or if further environmental review is required. If environmental review is required, it must be completed before a decision can be made on the lot line adjustment. The applicability of CEQA to the proposal can be discussed during the pre application meeting.
