Specific Code Section(s) related to this document
RMC 4-7-060 Lot Line Adjustment Process
RMC 48 Permits — General and Appeals
Published: 712012021
PURPOSE
The Lot Line Adjustment process allows for the adjustment of a boundary I ne(s) between adjacent property owners
provided this does not result in the creation of new lots that are non -conforming to the requirements of the Subdivision
Development Standards or Zoning Regulations.
ELECTRONIC fILE STANDARDS
All documents MUST be submitted electronically. Specific file naming conventions for submitted plans are required to
facilitate the electronic plan review process. Failure to adhere to the sample file naming format listed in the Electronic File
Standards may result in a request for resubmittal and/or delay the plan review process, deeming the application
incomplete.
COMPLETE APPLICATION REQUIRED
In order to accept your application, each of the numbered items must be submitted at the same time. Determination
that an application is complete indicates only that the application is ready for review on its merits, not that the City will
make a favorable decision on the application.
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL HOURS
Applications should be submitted to Planning Division staff electronically, not in person. For submission of your final plan
please email or call your assigned Project Planner to make arrangements for drop-off. If you have any Planning related
questions you may reach out to Planning Customer Service at 425-430-7294 or planningcustomerservice@rentonwa.gov.
tllr'il�ly.�tl►'►lq
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.
ADDITIONAL PERMITS
Additional permits from other agencies may be required. It is the applicant's responsibility to obtain these other approvals.
Information regarding these other requirements may be found at https://apps.cria.wa.gov/opasl
SOME KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER
a. City Staff or other agencies may request additional information during the review and decision -making process.
b. It is important that the applicant submit the requested material quickly to avoid delays in the process.
c. Any time spent gathering data and/or additional city review period will increase the time required to process the
application.

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 and recording fees and any associated legal documents. Once all City -required approval signatures have been
obtained, the City will transmit the map via courier to King County for recording.
Fy714;MNN
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.
