SECTION 1002 APPLICATIONS FOR APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE PLANS
A. Any landowner, or landowner's authorized agent or representative, proposing to create a subdivision shall make application to the Planning Department for a public hearing before the Planning Commission for review and approval of the subdivision. Application for a subdivision shall be on forms provided for that purpose and shall be accompanied by the required fee and twenty-one copies of the tentative plan of the proposed subdivision. The tentative plans required by this Section shall meet the standards for such plans as required by this Ordinance and ORS Chapters 92, 197 and 209. Tentative plans for subdivisions can only be approved in nonresource zones. Tentative plans for partitions can be approved in both resource zones and nonresource zones.
B. No plat for any proposed subdivision or resource land partition may be considered for approval by the county governing body until the tentative plan for the subdivision has been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
C. Before a plat of any subdivision or partition may be recorded with the County Clerk, other County officials shall indicate their approval by signature of the plat in the following order: County Surveyor, Planning Director, Treasurer, and/or County Court.
D. No subdivision plats, or replats may be recorded for lands located within boundaries of an irrigation district, drainage district, water control district or district improvement company until the notice and approval procedures set forth in ORS 92.120 have been implemented.
E. For subdivisions and partitions of land outside the boundaries of an irrigation district, drainage district, water control district or district improvement company, the applicant must file a statement of water rights. If a water right is appurtenant to the lands of the subdivision or partition, the statement of water rights, a signed copy of the Water Rights Application and a copy of the plan, plat or replat must be submitted to the Oregon Water Resources Department or to the local Watermaster. A copy of the acknowledgment from the Water Resources Department must be submitted with the final plat of the subdivision or partition to the County Clerk for recordation.
F. Copies of all tentative plans of any proposed subdivision or resource land partition shall be made available for review and comment in writing within 45 days to all affected City, County, State and Federal agencies; affected special districts (school, irrigation, fire); utilities (phone, power, cablevision); and all property owners within 250-500 feet of the external boundaries of the land involved.
SECTION 1003 ADJUSTMENT OF PROPERTY LINES
The common boundary line between lots or parcels may be adjusted in accordance with this section without the replatting procedures in ORS 92.180 and 92.185 or the vacation procedures in ORS Chapter 368. Once a lot or parcel line has been adjusted, the adjusted line shall be the boundary or property line, not the original line. The Director has authority to approve a line adjustment as a ministerial action.
