All Plans and Attachments are subject to Electronic File Standards REVIEW PROCESS: Once a complete application has been accepted for initial review, the Planning Division will route the application to those City departments having an interest in the application. All comments and requests for revisions will be sent to the applicant. Once all comments have been addressed, the applicant must re-submit the revised plans and/or documents for review. When the applicant has adequately addressed the comments, the City will send a written request for the final plans, courier fees and any associated legal documents. Once all City-required approval signatures have been obtained, the City will transmit the mylar via courier to King County for recording. The entire lot line adjustment process takes approximately 6-8 weeks to complete. The time frame for getting a lot line adjustment approved is largely dependent upon application completeness and prompt submittal of revisions. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP: The recording of the lot line adjustment map alone does not transfer ownership. Please remember to prepare and record a deed transferring ownership of the portion of land depicted in the Lot Line Adjustment Map. We recommend that a surveyor prepare the legal description for this document and a land-use attorney review the deed. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure this document is properly prepared and recorded.
