4-3 Lot standards

(1) Except for planned unit developments and conservation subdivisions or as otherwise provided in this Tooele County Land Use Ordinance, every lot shall have such area, width and depth as is required by for the zoning district in which such lot is located. (2) No building permit may be issued for a lot that does not have frontage upon a dedicated or publicly approved street, except: (a) residential lots may front upon a private road approved by the planning commission; or (b) lots used solely for the provision of essential services may be accessed via a recorded perpetual easement. (3) In the residential and rural residential zoning districts, no lot shall be created which is more than three times as deep as it is wide. In rural residential zoning districts, a special exception thereto may be granted by the appeal authority if it can be shown by the applicant that a deeper lot represents the most judicious configuration of the property, but in no case shall the exception be granted for more than five lots in any subdivision, neither shall it create a lot more than five times as deep as it is wide. (4) No structure or driveway shall be located within 20 feet of any portion of a hillside slope, either up or down, exceeding 30 percent, or for dwellings, within the setback envelope, whichever is greater. (a) The County may require greater setbacks when a geotechnical report recommends that greater setbacks are necessary for the protection of life, safety, or property. (b) Driveways to the building site shall have a maximum slope of 10 percent and shall have direct access to a public or private street. The jurisdiction’s fire authority may approve steeper grades for private driveways to building sites in accordance with the International Fire Code. (5) Any lot created through Chapter 35-1-8 of the Tooele County Land Use Ordinance or Section 17-27a-605 UCA for an agricultural partition is not a buildable lot for a residential dwelling or use. To become a residential building lot, the lot or parcel shall first be divided as a subdivision under Chapter 35 of the Tooele County Land Use Ordinance.
