I have confirmed that the proposed lot line adjustment would be acceptable (assuming all standards are met) and that we would not require frontage improvements or fee-in-lieu for the LLA. I’ve attached our LLA submittal requirements. Generally it takes about 3-4 weeks to process a LLA.

This would be instead of the short plat, since the applicant only wants to separate revised Lot 1 for sale and retain the remainder of the site. Can you check on your end to verify that this BLA would not trigger any right-of-way dedication or improvements since no new traffic or impacts would be created by the BLA? The site is fully developed and there are cross access agreements in place for parking, access, utilities, maintenance, etc. Thank you.

I don’t necessarily think that this would be applicable to this project, since they are only doing it for financial reasons (as opposed to development reasons), but I’d have to see a proposal first. B. PRINCIPLES OF ACCEPTABILITY: A lot line adjustment shall be consistent with the following principles of acceptability: 1. Correcting: Adjust lot lines including the elimination of a common lot line in order to correct property line or setback encroachments; 2. Improving: Create better lot design, or improve access; 3. Approval Criteria: a. An additional lot, parcel or tract shall not be created; and b. The subject lots, parcels or tracts are within the same zoning district; and c. The proposed adjustments shall not cause the lots, parcels or tracts to increase the nonconformity with respect to applicable zoning (see RMC 4-2), subdivision and other code requirements pertaining to lot design, building location, and development standards; and d. The adjusted lot line(s) is shared by the subject lots. 4. Non-Evasive: Lot line adjustments shall not serve to eliminate or circumvent any state or local requirements, including but not limited to frontage improvements, payment of fee-in-lieu, payment of latecomer fees or the installation of required infrastructure. a. Assessment of fees, right-of-way dedication and frontage improvements for the entire length of the property line(s) bordering rights-of-way may be required as a condition of approval for a lot line adjustment. b. Lots, parcels or tracts that are increased in area by lot line adjustments shall not be permitted to be subdivided for five (5) years following the date upon which the lot line adjustment is recorded or three (3) years following the approval of a lot line adjustment, whichever is longer, unless the following is met: i. The subdivision application includes all lots, parcels and tracts involved in the lot line adjustment in the overall subdivision; or ii. All required infrastructure, including but not limited to frontage improvements, required infrastructure and utility lines are constructed along the frontage of all lots included in the lot line adjustment.

After the meeting, we discussed the options and constraints with our client. We think that he may do a BLA instead of the short plat given that he has three lots to work with out there and his timeline to sell one building and lot. I assume that a BLA will not trigger the right-of-way dedication, improvements, and the SEPA – can you confirm? Thank you.

I confirmed with my supervisor that we would require that the wetlands (+ buffer) be placed in a separate tract as a condition of the short plat.

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.
