vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger that the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; iii. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage standard; or iv. Adjust a property line that resulted from a subdivision or partition authorized by a Measure 49 waiver so that any lawfully established unit of land affected by the property line adjustment is larger than the size granted by the waiver. [Ord. 1369 § 4 (Exh. B), 2016; Ord. 1271 § 5, 2008; Ord. 1204 § 4, 2004; Ord. 1168 § 5, 2002; Ord. 1125 § 10, 2000. RZ Ord. § 138.080.] The subject parcel (tax lots 100 & 400) that will grow larger is not a vacant tract. Therefore, the decreasing size of tax lot 500 will not allow for the qualification of any other lands for another dwelling. Neither of the subject parcels were created as a result of a Measure 49 order. The criterion is met. 8. The criteria for reviewing lot line adjustments within a FT zone are listed in chapter 17.139.090(D)/(E) of the MCC. This parcel has been determined to have been primarily devoted to Christmas tree production, which is a farm use, on January 1, 1993. Therefore 17.139.090(E) will not apply. The criteria of 17.139.090(D) criteria are as follows: 1. When one or more lots or parcels subject to a proposed property line adjustment are larger than the minimum parcel size pursuant to MCC 17.136.090(A)(1), the same number of lots or parcels shall be as large or larger than the minimum parcel size after the adjustment. When all lots or parcels subject to the proposed adjustment are as large or larger than the minimum parcel size, no lot or parcel shall be reduced below the applicable minimum parcel size. If all lots or parcels are smaller than the minimum parcel size before the property line adjustment, the minimum parcel size pursuant to this section does not apply to those lots or parcels. Neither subject parcel is larger than 80-acres, the criterion does not apply. 2. A property line adjustment may not be used to: a. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that, before the relocation or elimination of the common property line, is smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size for the applicable zone and contains an existing dwelling or is approved for the construction of a dwelling, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; b. Decrease the size of a lot or parcel that contains an existing dwelling or is approved for construction of a dwelling to a size smaller than the minimum lot or parcel size, if the abutting vacant tract would be increased to a size as large as or larger than the minimum tract size required to qualify the vacant tract for a dwelling; or c. Allow an area of land used to qualify a tract for a dwelling based on an acreage standard to be used to qualify another tract for a dwelling if the land use approval would be based on an acreage standard. d. Adjust a property line that resulted from a subdivision or partition authorized by a Measure 49 waiver so that any lawfully established unit of land affected by the property line adjustment is larger than the size granted by the waiver. The subject parcel (tax lots 100 & 400) that will grow larger is not a vacant tract. Therefore, the decreasing size of tax lot 500 will not allow for the qualification of any other lands for another dwelling. The criterion is met. 3. Any property line adjustment that results in an existing dwelling being located on a different parcel shall not be subject to the standards in MCC 17.139.030(E) so long as the adjustment: a. Does not increase any adverse impacts on the continued practice of commercial agriculture on the resulting parcels;
