Boundary Line Adjustment

A Boundary Line Adjustment is an application made for the purpose of adjusting boundary lines between platted or unplatted lots, or both, and/or accommodates a transfer of land between adjacent separate lots which does not create any additional lots, tracts, parcels, or building sites, nor create existing lots which are more nonconforming. A boundary line adjustment plan is a civil plan that shows all existing site improvements and encumbrances such as all structures, eaves, fences, accessory structures, easements, street improvements and other site development. This plan needs to show the existing boundary line and the proposed boundary lines of the lots that are changing and how they will meet all required development standards.

The Boundary Line Adjustment plan may include, but is not limited to, the following items:

Existing and proposed legal descriptions.
True north point.
Graphic scale.
Surveyor’s Seal and Standard Certificate on all pages (Name, license number, address, signature, date).
County Auditor’s recording certificate.
Any easements, covenants, and restrictions on the property.
Owner(s) signature block(s) – signatures must be in black ink.
Notary’s seal and signature, certifying owner(s) – signatures must be in black ink.
Approval signature blocks for Development Services (Land Use Planning), Utilities, Transportation, and City Surveyor.
Separate existing and proposed maps, with proposed lot lines distinguished by darker line types.
Permit number.
Title block: Name of Surveyor or Firm performing survey, contact information of the preparer, sheet identification number, and date prepared or revised.
Quarter section, section, township and range number.
Bearings and distances.
Area of each proposed lot (in square feet) and area to be conveyed.
Existing City of Bellevue zoning district.
Setback dimensions required by the zoning district.
Existing property lines within, or adjacent to, the proposed property.
Lot dimensions and property tax account number(s).
Location, name, and width of all existing street rights-of-way or easements within or adjacent to the proposed lots.
Location of all existing structures on the properties. If existing structures are to be retained development standards including lot coverage, impervious surface, hardscape, greenscape, and FAR calculations shall be provided.
Found corners and/or rebar per referenced survey on map (if applicable); and
Existing or proposed restrictions on use of the land, including critical areas and buffers.

A Boundary Line Adjustment plan moves a property line between two lots, allowing for the exchange of land between adjoining lots. It can also combine multiple lots into a single lot. A Boundary Line Adjustment cannot create an additional building lot and cannot result in a lot that does not comply with the Land Use Code (LUC).
