(A) Conformance to zoning. All lots shall conform to or exceed the requirements of the applicable zoning ordinance. Each lot shall front at least 20 feet onto a publicly dedicated street, other than an alley, or in the case of two contiguous flag lots, 20-foot frontage may be reduced to ten feet of frontage per parcel; provided, the contiguous lots share a common unobstructed easement of access to the publicly dedicated street of at least 20 feet in width; and, further provided, the common easement shall be located within 20-foot strip. In no case shall more than two flag lots be contiguous to each other at the publicly dedicated street. Flag lots shall only be used in those locations where due to geometric, topographic and other physical features, it would be impractical to extend a publicly dedicated street to serve lots located in the areas, as determined by the Planning Commission’s duly authorized repre- sentative.
(B) Lot frontage and width.
(1) Arterial street frontage. No access onto an arterial street shall be permitted from abutting properties, except as provided for in these regulations.
(2) Corner lots. Corner lots shall have extra width to permit conformance to the minimum setback from the side street. In no case shall a corner lot be so narrow that minimum zoning requirements cannot be met.
(3) Double frontage lots. Lots shall not be laid out so that they have frontage onto more than one street, except:
(a) When the lots are adjacent to the intersection of two streets; or
(b) When the rear of the lot faces an arterial, freeway, expressway, collector street or railroad right-of-way, and the front of the lot faces onto another street.
(C) Lot depth.
(1) Conformance to zoning. Each lot shall conform to all requirements of the applicable zoning ordinance.
(2) Maximum depth. The maximum depth of a lot shall not be greater than four times the width of the lot, except lots which contain over five acres of area. Exceptional individual site conditions may require variation from these requirements, as permitted by the Planning Commission, or its duly authorized representative.
(3) Extra depth and width in certain cases. Additional side yard and lot depth as per the applicable zoning ordinance may be required where a lot in a subdivision abuts an industrial or commercially zoned area.
(D) Useable lots.
(1) Building lots. All subdivisions shall result in the creation of lots which are developable and capable of being built on. No lots may be developed which create building sites which are impracticable to improve due to known problems related to soil conditions and geological formations and areas subject to flood prone conditions based on information on file in the offices of the NKAPC (soil survey studies prepared by the United States Soil Conservation Service, Geological survey maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey and flood prone information supplied by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the United States Geological Survey).
(2) Strips of parcels. No remnants of property shall be left which do not conform to minimum lot requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located, or which are not required for a private or public utility purpose, or which are not accepted by the legislative body or fiscal court or any other appropriate public body for an appropriate use.
(3) Side lot lines. The side lot lines of all lots, whenever practicable, shall be at right angles to the street which the lot faces or radial to the center of curvature, if such street is curved. In the case of a cul-de-sac on which the lot faces, side lot lines shall be as nearly radial to the center of curvature of the cul-de-sac as practicable.
