18.11.010   General conditions.
   The design of subdivision improvements, including the lots themselves and all infrastructure, shall comply with the following:
   A.   The size, design, character, grade, location and orientation and configuration of lots within a proposed subdivision and improvements required in connection therewith shall be consistent with the density and uses authorized for the area by the general plan or the applicable specific plan, whichever is more restrictive.
   B.   The density, timing or sequence of development may be restricted by considerations of safety, traffic access or circulation, the slope of the natural terrain, the physical suitability of the site (including soil conditions), the nature or extent of existing development, the availability of public utilities, the availability of public facilities and public services, or other provisions of these regulations.
   C.   No subdivision shall create lots which are impractical for improvement or use due to steepness of terrain, location of watercourses, size, shape, inadequate frontage, or access or building area or other physical condition, or which do not meet minimum size requirements of the zone in which the property to be subdivided is located.
