SR - ORD-03-15 - SECOND READINGORDINANCE NO. 03-15
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE AMENDING AND RESTATING
CHAPTER 16.32 OF THE ORANGE MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS.
WHEREAS, Section 66412 of the Government Code of the State of California has
been revised to prohibit landowners from using lot line adjustments to reconfigure more than
four parcels of land. Rather than permitting lot line adjustments between two or more
existing adjacent parcels, lot line adjustments are now limited to four or fewer existing
adjoining parcels, where the land taken from one parcel is added to an adjoining parcel, and
where a greater number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created; and
WHEREAS, in addition, the new parcels resulting from a lot line adjustment must
comply not only with zoning and building ordinances but also with the local general plan and
any applicable coastal plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to conform the procedures for processing lot
line adjustments in Chapter 16.32 of the Orange Municipal Code with the requirements of
Section 66412 of the Government Code of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to clearly establish procedures and criteria for
approving a lot line adjustment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish a simplified process whereby lot
line adjustments are approved by the City Engineer in consultation with the Community
Development Director, rather than by the City Council as the Orange Municipal Code
currently requires.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Orange does hereby ordain as
follows:
SECTION I
Chapter 16.32 of the Orange Municipal Code is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following new Chapter 16.32, to read in full as follows:
