A minimum lot area in an R-S district shall be as follows:
A. Each lot shall have a standard minimum area of ten thousand (10,000) square feet, except as described herein.
B. Lots as small as ten thousand (10,000) square feet in area may be permitted in subdivisions which meet all of the criteria listed below:
1. The total number of lots existing or created by a land division does not exceed the gross area of the site being subdivided, divided by the standard minimum area described in subsection A. of this section and does not exceed the allowable density described in Section 17.21.020. In R-S zones, no lots with less than twenty-two thousand (22,000) square feet of area may be subdivided, and forty three thousand five hundred sixty (43,560) square feet shall be required in order to create two (2) lots, etc.
2. If the number of lots created by a land division or subdivision equals the maximum number permitted by density standards for the zoning district, then all lots must be smaller in area than 1.9% times the standard minimum area described in subsection A. above. This requirement is intended to prevent future density increases on the property being subdivided, unless at some point in the future the City revises adopted density limitations and lot standards are also revised accordingly.
3. No corner lot may have an area less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet.
C. No lot shall be further divided if calculated contiguous to other parcels the total is equal to the maximum allowable density.
