A. Land within a short subdivision, the short plat of which has been approved within five years immediately preceding, may not be further subdivided in any manner unless a final subdivision thereof has been approved and filed for record in accordance with Chapter 20.45A LUC, or a Binding Site Plan is approved in accordance with Land Use Code requirements; provided, however, when the original short subdivision contains less than four lots it may be revised to create additional lots if no more than four total lots are created within the boundary lines of the original short plat during the original five-year period. For the purposes of calculating the five-year period, the date of approval of a short subdivision shall be the date the short plat was recorded with the King County Department of Records and Elections.

B. Short subdivisions may be revised in accordance with the following requirements:

1. All affected ownership interests within the originally recorded short subdivision must be a party to the revision application, or must express written agreement to the proposed revision, including written agreement to accept ownership of any property, or to transfer or convey ownership of any property, which may be necessary as a result of the revision.

2. Any features contained in the original short subdivision which have been relied upon in subsequent land development or land use planning decisions and which are still applicable at the time of application shall be incorporated in the short subdivision revision, unless such features are provided by other legal means at the time of short subdivision revision.

3. Procedures and requirements established by this chapter for preliminary short subdivision approval shall be applicable to revision requests. Revisions shall comply with applicable conditions and provisions of the original plat or short plat and shall not adversely affect access, easements, or any land use requirements as provided for in the laws of the City.

4. Approval of any revision shall be filed and recorded as a supplemental declaration of short subdivision which shall contain the adjusted legal description and shall be effective upon being recorded by the Development Services Department with the King County Department of Records and Elections and upon receipt of proof of recording.
