17.18.030 Lots 1

Lot Arrangement and Design: a. The lot arrangement and design shall be such that lots will provide satisfactory and desirable sites for buildings and be properly related to topography and to existing and future development. b. Reasonable access shall be provided to each lot. c. Lots shall be arranged, whenever possible, such that access is to a local/ residential road. d. Unless restrained by topography, access for corner lots shall be onto the road of lesser classification. e. Lots shall generally be rectangularly shaped with four (4) sides. Irregularly shaped lots are discouraged. Where lots are irregularly shaped, side and rear yard lines shall be defined on the subdivision plat. 2. Compliance with Zoning Ordinance: All lots shown on the subdivision plat must comply with requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 3. Abut on Public or Private Street: Each lot shall abut on a public street or private street dedicated by the subdivision plat or an existing publicly dedicated street. Interior lots having frontage on two (2) streets shall be prohibited unless specifically determined by the Approval Authority that such design is the most appropriate use of the property, would not create any additional nuisance or hazardous conditions, and vehicular access to one (1) of the streets (except for commercial or industrial uses), as determined by the City, is prohibited as recorded on the plat. 4. Side Lines: Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles, or radial to the street line for not less than the front yard setback distance. Special exceptions may be made by the DRC if justified by topography, hazards, or other physical constraint(s). 5. Remnants: All remnants of parcels or lots below the minimum size required in the zone, leftover after subdividing a larger tract, must be added to adjacent lots, rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. 6. Flag Lots: Flag lots are not allowed. 7. Skyline Drive: No new lots shall access Skyline Drive (4300 N) between 900 West and Pleasant View Drive unless no other physical option remains, as determined by the DRC. 8. Corner Lots: For all corner lots, a no-access line shall be shown on the plat along the street rights-of-way for a distance of the lesser of one-half of the frontage or fifty (50) feet, beginning at the apparent intersection of the right-of-way lines.
