The criteria for reviewing property line adjustments within an EFU zone are listed in Chapter 17.136.090(C) MCC. These criteria are as follows: A. When one or more lots or parcels subject to a proposed property line adjustment are larger than the minimum parcel size pursuant to subsection (A)(1) of this section, 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 th e minimum parcel size before the property line adjustment, the minimum parcel size pursuant to this section does not apply to those lots or parcels. Both parcels are smaller than the minimum parcel size. The criteria do not apply. B.

The minimum parcel size has been determined to be 80 acres. The criterion does not apply. C. Any property line adjustment shall result in a configuration of lots or parcels that are at least as suitable for commercial agriculture as were the parcels prior to the adjustment.
