1. 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 LDEP did not comment on this application with any required right-of-way dedication or request for nonremonstrance agreement. 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 proposed property line adjustment would combine three properties and create a single larger parcel. Feasibility of future location of streets or utility services is increased by the proposed configuration. 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 proposed property line adjustment would combine three properties and creating a single larger parcel. No new lots are being created, 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 land is not designated for residential uses so no redevelopment plan is required. The criterion does not apply. 5. New lots shall have no dimension less than 80 feet. The proposed consolidated property has no dimension less than 80 feet. 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. The proposed property line adjustment is combining three properties and creating a single larger parcel with an established residence. No nonresidential uses are proposed. The criterion does not apply. 7. The minimum lot size, in acres, for lots in nonresidential plan designations is the numerical suffix added to the UT zone (i.e., one acre, three acres, five acres, 10 acres or 20 acres), or if no suffix is added, five acres. The property is designated Open Space (OS) in the Jefferson Comprehensive Plan. The suffix for this UT zone is three (UT-3) and therefore the minimum parcel size is 3-acres. All three parcels are less than 3-acres in size, and after combined by the proposed property line adjustment the resulting parcel would still be less than 3-acres in size. The non-conforming parcels will become a less non-conforming parcel, and no new parcels will be created below the minimum lot size. Therefore, the criterion is met. 10. Based on the above findings, the proposal meets the applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED.
