A. Replatting and Vacations. Any plat or portion thereof may be replatted or vacated upon receiving an application signed by all of the owners as appearing on the deed.
B. Procedure. All applications for a replat or vacation shall be processed in accordance with the procedures and standards for a subdivision or partition (i.e., the same process used to create the plat shall be used to replat or vacate the plat). The same appeal rights provided through the subdivision and partition process shall be afforded to the plat vacation process.
C. Basis for Denial. A replat or vacation application may be denied if it abridges or destroys any public right in any of its public uses, improvements, streets or alleys; or if it fails to meet any applicable criteria, including but not limited to setbacks and conflicts with existing easements.
D. Recording of Vacations. All approved plat vacations shall be recorded in accordance with TMC 17.20.070, Filing and recording, and the following procedures:
1. Once recorded, a replat or vacation shall operate to eliminate the force and effect of the plat prior to vacation; and
2. Vacations shall also divest all public rights in the streets, alleys and public grounds, and all dedications identified or described on the plat.
E. After Sale of Lots or Parcels. When lots or parcels have been sold, the plat may be vacated only in the manner herein; and provided, that all of the owners of lots or parcels within the platted area consent in writing to the plat vacation.
F. Vacation of Streets. All street vacations shall comply with the procedures and standards set forth in ORS Chapter 271. [Ord. 818 § 2 (Exh. A (§ 8-2.480)); Ord. 692 § 22.]
