6. The criteria for reviewing property line adjustments within a UT zone are listed in MCC 16.13.300. These criteria are as follows: B. The following regulations shall apply when property line adjustments and partitioning of land regulated by Chapter 16.33 MCC, Subdivision and Partition Requirements, are proposed: 7. Additional street right-of-way required by adopted county standards shall be dedicated along the street frontage of any lot 10 acres or less in area that is part of a partition or lot line adjustment. Street and drainage improvements within the dedicated right-of-way shall be deferred until otherwise required by the county, or by the city following annexation. A nonremonstrance agreement for future road or drainage improvements within the right-of-way abutting the lot may be required. Marion County Land Development, Engineering, and Permits did not require any right-of-way dedication or a nonremonstrance agreement as conditions of approval. The criterion does not apply. 2. The location of lot lines shall not significantly reduce feasible options for the future location of urban streets or utility services, or preclude development options on the property or adjacent properties. The subject properties are proposed to be combined into a larger, single property. This will decrease the amount of lot lines within the subject area, meaning it is better suited and opens up more options for future locations of urban streets or utility services. Therefore, the criterion is met. 3. When a lot occupied by a residence is reduced, or a lot is created to accommodate a new residence allowed in MCC 16.13.320, the lot should be as small as possible and should not be larger than one acre. If a lot of one acre or less is not feasible, the lot should either contain all of the undeveloped land or be large enough that the urban development potential will be a significant incentive for the owner to develop to planned urban uses when the lot is annexed. The proposal results in two vacant parcels becoming one larger parcel. This criterion does not apply. 4. When a new or adjusted lot located in a residential plan designation is smaller than five acres and larger than one acre, a redevelopment plan shall be required demonstrating that the lot can accommodate future subdivision development at the median density proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. The zoning administrator shall review and approve the redevelopment plan. The redevelopment plan is only for the purposes of identifying a feasible means to subdivide the property and to identify an appropriate location for residences, and does not limit consideration of other development options when urban services are available. The proposal involves combining two 0.50-acre lots into a single 1.0-acre lot. Since the resultant lot is only 1-acre in size, a redevelopment plan is not required to be submitted. 5. New lots shall have no dimension less than 80 feet. The proposed adjusted property will have all new dimensions meeting this standard. The criterion is met. 6. When a lot located in a residential plan designation and occupied by a nonresidential use is created or altered, the lot should include as little undeveloped land suitable for residential uses as possible, unless evidence is presented that undeveloped land needs to be included in the lot to accommodate allowable expansion of the subject use.
