A. Every dwelling shall be located and maintained on a single "lot", as defined in this title. Except for group dwellings and accessory dwelling units where allowed, not more than one dwelling structure shall occupy one lot.
B. If a dwelling has been built across one or more property lines, all affected parcels and/or lots, whether metes and bounds or platted, shall be deemed consolidated and shall not thereafter be treated as multiple lots without an approved subdivision as per this title. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012; amd. Ord. 2021- 24, 9-9-2021)
Any lot legally held in separate ownership at the time of adoption of this Code, which lot is below the requirements for lot area, lot width or frontage for the zone in which it is located and was legally created under the provisions of a previous land use ordinance, shall be classified as a legal nonconforming lot under this Code.
A. In any zone, when a lot lacks sufficient area to meet the minimum required by this Code and there is abutting property under the same ownership, the two (2) parcels shall be combined. If the combined parcels do not meet the minimum requirement and there is sufficient area upon which to construct a residence reasonably comparable to those in the vicinity with required setbacks, the lot may be determined to be legal nonconforming and a single-family dwelling shall be permitted if such lot is in a residential zone. Provisions herein shall not violate maximum lot size limits of section 13.14.040, chart 13.14.040 of this title.
B. If there is not sufficient area for a buildable area, comparable to the other residences in the area, or of at least thirty feet by fifty feet (30' x 50'), a building permit shall not be issued. (Ord. 2018-05, 5-17-2018)
The requirements of this title as to minimum lot area and minimum setback may be reduced by the Planning Commission for a public use. The Planning Commission shall not authorize a reduction in the lot area or setback requirements unless the evidence presented is such as to establish that the reduction will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
No parcel of land which has less than the minimum width and area requirements for the zone in which it is located may be cut off from a large parcel of land for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of building or development as a lot, except by permit of the Administrative Appeals Officer. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
