It
sometimes becomes necessary or desirable to change
the configuration of your parcel or parcels of
land. Some jurisdictions require a Lot Line
Adjustment Map and others require a Parcel Map
Waiver Map. They are basically the same type of
map and the title is merely a preference in
semantics. These maps are an alternative to a
Parcel Map when you are adjusting the lines on 4
or fewer parcels and you are not creating any more
parcels than currently exist. State law allows
that you “waive” the normal parcel map requirement
in these instances.
Different
jurisdictions have different requirements for
these maps, but they generally consist of a survey
showing the physical features (buildings,
driveways, fences, etc.) of each parcel involved
to insure that you are not going to be violating
any existing zoning requirements, and a “metes and
bounds” legal description to describe the new
parcels in a precise legal language.
Bay Area Land Surveying has
prepared many of these surveys over the years and
we are experts at giving the different city and
county departments the information they need to
insure that your project goes
smoothly.
