All urban lot splits with two-unit residential developments within the R1 Zone must comply with the R1 development standards contained in Section 15-4B-3 and the development standards of this Section 15-4G-3. If there are conflicts between the provisions of Section 15-4B-3 and this Section 15-4G-3, the provisions of this Section will govern.
A. Urban lot splits must incorporate all built-form parameters of State of California Government Code Section 66411.7, including:
1. A parcel map that subdivides an existing R1 parcel will create no more than two new parcels of approximately equal lot area and with one of the two created parcels not smaller than 40 percent of the lot area of the original parcel proposed for subdivision. See Figure 4G-1.
2. Both newly created parcels will be no smaller than 1,200 square feet in gross area.
3. No more than two (2) dwelling units per lot will be constructed on a R1 urban lot split.
5. A minimum of one off-street parking spaces will be provided per newly constructed dwelling unit. No parking is required if the parcel is located within one-half mile walking distance of a High-quality Transit Corridor or major transit stop or if a car share vehicle is located within one-block of the parcel.
B. Lot line splits will be parallel to public street frontages. See Figure 4G-2.
C. When cross easements across lot split parcels are required to provide access to units, or access to vehicle parking spaces, or access to utilities and utility connections, or access between lot split parcels, or access for any other purpose, a covenant establishing the cross easement acceptable to the Community Development Department must be recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder upon the filing of the Final Parcel Map described in chapter 14-6 of this code.
