The following lot criteria shall be adhered to when developing any subdivision plat:
(A) The lot size, width, depth, shape and orientation, and the minimum building setback lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use required under the zoning code.
(B) Within the extraterritorial jurisdiction the lot size, width, depth, shape and orientation, and the minimum building setback lines shall match the adjacent or nearest zoning district and shall be compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. Where no adjacent districts exist, the lot requirements shall match Zoning District R-3 for residential lots and B-l for business lots.
(C) Corner lots for residential use shall have extra width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation to both streets. When such lots side upon a major thoroughfare or collector street, a note to this effect shall be properly entered on the plat to be recorded.
(D) The subdividing of the land shall be such as to provide, by means of a public street or an approved private way, each lot with satisfactory access to the existing public streets of the city; provided that any private way proposed for approval in connection with a subdivision plat by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the minimum standards for improvements set out in § 155.53 or in any other applicable ordinance, regulation, or policy of the city.
(E) For new development not already platted, double frontage, and reverse frontage lots should be avoided, except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots from an already platted subdivision shall require the minimum front yard set back on each street.
(F) Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines.
(G) Where a non-conforming lot of record in a residential zoning district has less width or depth or lot area than required by its current district requirements, it shall not prohibit the erection of structures, as long as the remaining current district requirements are met.
