§ 15.210.020 TYPE I CODE ADJUSTMENTS
Definition: A limited adjustment to certain provisions of the Development Code. An adjustment cannot be
granted unless certain criteria have been satisfied. Approval of an adjustment shall be based on written
findings. The burden of proof, or demonstration of the need for an adjustment, is the responsibility of the
applicant and not the City.
The director may authorize adjustments from the following requirements through a Type I procedure:
(A) Yard setback dimensions, lot area, percentage of lot coverage, lot dimensions.
1. Setbacks/street trees Maximum adjustment of 25 percent of the dimensional standards for front
yard setback requirements and the spacing of street trees.
2. Lot area Maximum adjustment of 5 percent of the lot area required. A lot area adjustment shall
not be granted thereby allowing a greater number of dwelling units than that permitted without
the adjustment.
3. Percentage of lot coverage Maximum adjustment of two percent more than permitted for all
land uses except the maximum parking area coverage for R-3 Districts may be increased up to 50
percent.
4. Lot dimensions – Maximum of 10 percent of the required lot dimensions of frontages.
(B) Interior yard setback requirements in residential zones. Except for lots designated as “zero lot line
lots”, the director may approve an adjustment in the interior yard requirements so that a distance not less
than 3 ft is maintained.
(C) Dimensional standards and minimum number of off-street parking spaces. The director may
approve adjustments to the dimensional standards of off-street parking spaces; standards for the
minimum number of off-street parking spaces; and required spaces to be used for compact cars
excepting handicapped parking requirements.
(D) Vision clearance requirements on corner lots. Vision clearance requirements on corner lots may be
waived by the director.

§ 15.235.150 FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT OR PARTITION MAP APPROVAL
The final plat of final partition map shall be submitted to the director for final approval through a Type I
procedure. The director shall determine whether the final plat or map conforms to the tentative plan approval
requirements and applicable requirements of the development code. If the director determines that the final plat or map
does not conform, the applicant shall make necessary corrections.
PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION FOR FINAL PLAT:
C
omplete all conditions of preliminary plat approval for the partition or subdivision. Provide a written
response to all conditions of approval, explaining how each condition has been met.
Substantially complete all improvements required as part of subdivision or partition approval.
Arrange a final walk-through inspection by the Engineering Division of all improvements required as part of
subdivision or partition approval.
FINAL PLAT PROCESS
Final plat reviews are done primarily through coordination by Planning and Engineering staff. The basic steps are as
follows:
1. Applicant substantially completes public improvements and other conditions of approval as assigned at the tentative
approval stage, applies for final plat approval, and calls the Engineering Division for inspections and approval.
2.
Planning
compiles the final plat application materials (includes the application, fees, current title report, written
response to the conditions of approval, any required documents such as consent affidavit or easements, and two full-
size copies of the plat for red-line review) and routes to the Community Development Director
and City Surveyor for
review. The application packet may also be routed to anyone else with issues that are addressed by conditions of
approval, such as
the Fire Marshal or the Building Division.
3. The City Surveyor does red-line review of the plats and coordinates with Engineering to make sure that their
conditions of approval are met (all public-side items such as streets, sidewalks and utilities). Red-line corrections are
returned to the applicant’s engineer to make the corrections.
4. Planning reviews the plat for consistency with the tentative plan approval and coordinates with other departments to
make sure that all the conditions of approval have been met.
5. The Engineering Inspector coordinates the punch list of public improvements to be completed in the field, inspects
the construction and signs off when it is complete. If the public improvements are deemed “substantially complete”
the applicant may bond for the remainder of any outstanding items still to be constructed through a subdivision
agreement.
6. The applicant submits engineer’s estimates of the cost of any outstanding items to be completed for a subdivision
agreement and for the cost of securing the public improvements for two years with a maintenance bond. Engineering
reviews and approves the engineer’s estimates for the bonds.
7. The applicant submits a landscape estimate to Planning for any required street trees that will be installed at the time
of construction. Planning reviews and approves the amount for the bond.
8. The Engineering Secretary coordinates with Engineering, Planning, and the applicant to prepare the subdivision
agreement and notify the applicant of the bond requirements (landscape bond, performance and/or maintenance
bonds).
9. The applicant’s surveyor completes any red-line corrections and returns final mylar copies of the plat. The City
Surveyor
reviews first to ensure that the corrections were all made, then the plats get signed by
the Community
Development Director
and the City Recorder. The
City Surveyor
also compiles any documents that need recorded
and signed with the plat.
10.
When all of the conditions of approval have been met and all bonds turned in, the final signed mylars are returned to
the applicant to take to the Yamhill County offices for recording. The
applicant
must bring back
one of the recorded
copies of the plat for our records.

Definition: The adjustment of common property lines between two or more abutting properties. Approval of a property
line adjustment cannot be granted unless certain criteria have been satisfied. Property line adjustment approval shall be
based on written findings to the applicable criteria.
PROPERTY LINE ADJUSTMENT PROCESS & CRITERIA
Process: Coordinate with a surveyor to draw up new property surveys and legal descriptions for the parcels affected by
the property line adjustment. Coordinate with a title company to write up property conveyance deeds for the portion of
property to be adjusted in order to effect the property line adjustment. The Planning Division and City Surveyor will
review the deeds, property surveys, and legal descriptions for approval. After approval, the deeds will need to be recorded
with the Yamhill County Recorder and the new property surveys and legal descriptions will need to be filed with the
County Surveyor. A copy of the documents will need to be returned to the City after recording.
Criteria: Type I applications require a written response to applicable criteria to determine whether approval is justified.
Please provide a written response to each of the applicable criteria for a Type I design review. Your written response
should address how you meet each of the following criteria.
(1)
The property line adjustment does not create more lots than existed prior to the adjustment.
(2)
The adjustment does not create any substandard condition relative to this code, including lot area, lot width,
setbacks, and access. If any of the original lots do not meet these standards, the adjusted lots may remain non-
conforming provided:
(a)
The adjustment cannot reasonably or practically bring the lots into conformity.
(b)
The adjustment does not worsen the non-conforming status of the lots.
