Blocks intended for business or industrial use shall be designed specifically for such purpose with adequate space set aside for off-street parking and delivery facilities. H. The lot arrangement and design shall be such that lots will provide satisfactory and desirable sites for buildings, and be properly related to topography, to the character of surrounding development and to existing requirements. I. All lots shown on the preliminary and final plats must conform to the minimum requirements of the zoning ordinance, if any for the zone in which the subdivision is located and to the minimum requirements of the Town of Garden City Public works Department, Utah State Board of Health, Bear River District Health Department and Bear Lake Special Service District for water supply and sewage disposal. The minimum width for any residential building lot shall not be less than that specified by the zoning ordinance. The minimum area of such lot shall be not less than that approved by the Utah State Board of Health, or that required by the zoning ordinance, whichever area is largest. J. Each lot shall, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission, abut on a street shown on the subdivision plat or on an existing publicly dedicated street which has become public by right of use and which is more than eighteen (18) feet wide. Double frontage lots shall be prohibited except where unusual conditions make other designs undesirable. K. Sidelines of lots shall be approximately at right angles, or radial to the street lines. L.
