The use of septic tanks or other waste disposal systems in lieu of using the city's sewer system is prohibited on lots that are less than 14,400 square feet in size. Lots less than 14,400 square feet may be allowed the use of a septic system or other alternative waste disposal system if the property is determined to have the following limitations and criterion. This determination is subject to approval by the directors of the Planning and Public Works Departments, and Department of Water and Power.
(A) The property is considered an in-fill development because it is bound by existing developed properties, preventing the property owner from having the ability to acquire additional properties to meet the minimum lot size of 14,400 square feet.
(B) The property is located in an area in which there is insufficient infrastructure to serve the property.
(C) The property can be graded in a manner to accommodate septic tanks or other waste disposal systems including leech lines and seepage pits, in which the system is located underground and properly covered, and poses no impacts to neighboring properties.
