The
Short Plat Exemption process allows minor changes to property
lines that are exempt from formal platting procedures.
Common
Exemptions
The
City of Yakima Subdivision Ordinance (YMC
14.05.160) describes the requirements and details of exemptions.
In summary, the following are exempt:
Although these actions
are exempt from formal platting review, applications are reviewed
to ensure that all lots conform to the requirements of the
subdivision ordinance and that no nonconforming lot are created
by an exempt activity. All lots must retain the minimum
lot size in each zoning district, as well as appropriate lot
frontage dimensions. No "landlocked" parcels
may be created by an exempt action, unless appropriate easements
are established or retained. In general lot line adjustments
should not be created to combined areas of two different zoning
districts into a single lot. Lot line adjustments may
not create a nonconforming use in a particular zoning district.
