(A) Conformance to zoning. All lots shall conform to or exceed the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Each lot shall front onto a publicly owned street, other than an alley.
(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 Section 6.0 (C)(4) of these regulations.
(2) Lot width. The lot width at the minimum building setback line shall not be less than that specified by the zoning district in the zoning ordinance controlling said lot.
(3) Corner lots. Corner lots shall have extra width to permit conformance to the setback line on the side street. In no case shall a corner lot be so narrow that minimum zoning requirements of the zoning ordinance cannot be met.
(4) 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, railroad right-of-way, etc. and the front of the lot faces onto a local residential street.
(C) Lot depth.
(1) Conformance to zoning. Each lot shall be of such a depth that front yard and rear yard requirements of the zoning ordinance, plus a reasonable building site, shall be provided.
(2) Maximum depth. The maximum depth of a lot shall not be greater than three times the width of the lot, except lots which contain over five acres of area. Lots containing over five acres of area shall not be less than 250 feet in width at any location. 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. Fifty feet in addition to the required lot depth may be required where a residential lot in a subdivision backs up to a railroad right-of-way, a high pressure gasoline or gas line, an arterial street, an industrial area or other existing land use which may have a detrimental effect on the residential use of the property, and where no street is provided at the rear of such lot. Where a residential lot has its side lot line adjacent to any of the aforementioned, an appropriate additional width may also be required.
(D) Usable lots.
(1) Building lots. All subdivisions shall result in the creation of lots which are developable and capable of being built upon. No subdivision shall create lots which are impractical to improve due to steepness of terrain, dangerous soil conditions, locations of watercourses, or other natural physical limitations.
(2) Strips or parcels. No remnants of property shall be left which do not conform to lot requirements, or which are not required for a private or public utility purpose, or which are not accepted by the city and/or any other appropriate public body for an appropriate use.
(3) Side lot lines. The side lot lines of all lots so far as 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.
(E) Large lots. When land is subdivided into very large parcels they should be of such shape and dimensions as to render possible the re-subdivision of any such parcels at some later date into lots and streets which meet the requirements of these regulations and of the zoning ordinance.
(F) Lot division. No lot shall be divided by a city or county boundary line.
(G) Yard requirement. Yard requirements for lots within a subdivision shall conform to the yard requirements set forth in the zoning ordinance for the zoning district in which they are located.
