The boundaries of a city shall be adjusted
to include or exclude the remaining portion of a parcel of land
located partially within and partially without *of the
boundaries of that city upon the governing body of the city
adopting a resolution approving such an adjustment that was
requested in a petition signed by the owner of the parcel. A
boundary adjustment made pursuant to this section shall not be
subject to potential review by the boundary review board of the
county within which the parcel is located if the remaining
portion of the parcel to be included or excluded from the city is
located in the unincorporated area of the county and the
adjustment is approved by resolution of the county legislative
authority or in writing by a county official or employee of the
county who is designated by ordinance of the county to make such
approvals.
Where part of a single parcel of land is located within the
boundaries of one city, and the remainder of the parcel is
located within the boundaries of a second city that is located
immediately adjacent to the first city, the boundaries of the two
cities may be adjusted so that all of the parcel is located
within either of the cities, if the adjustment was requested in a
petition signed by the property owner and is approved by both
cities. Approval by a city may be through either resolution of
its city council, or in writing by an official or employee of the
city who has been designated by ordinance of the city to make
such approvals. Such an adjustment is not subject to potential
review by the boundary review board of the county in which the
parcel is located.
Whenever a portion of a public right-of-way is located on
such a parcel, the boundary adjustment shall be made in such a
manner as to include all or none of that portion of the public
right-of-way within the boundaries of the city.
As used in this section, "city" shall include any city or
town, including a code city.
