  1. The combination or recombination of portions of previously subdivided and recorded lots if the total number of lots is not increased and the resultant lots are equal to or exceed the standards of the Development Ordinance.
  2. The division of land into parcels greater than 10 acres if no street right-of-way dedication is involved.
  3. The public acquisition by purchase of strips of land for the widening or opening of streets.
  4. The division of a tract in single ownership, the entire area of which is not greater than 2 acres, into not more than 3 lots, where no street right-of-way dedication is involved and where the resultant lots are equal to or exceed the standards of the Development Ordinance.
