1. Provision of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use contemplated including the base district requirements as to property sizes and dimensions.
2. Avoiding double front lots. If unavoidable, one of the frontages shall be restricted from access.

C. Pedestrian access rights of way not less than ten feet (10') wide, may be required for walkways through or across a block when deemed desirable to provide circulation, or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation, and other community facilities. Said access right of way shall be a separate platted lot. (Ord. 389, 6-14-2000)
