(a) Conformity to Zoning Code. Lot width, depth and area shall be not less than the particular district requirements of the Zoning Code, except where outlots are provided for an indicated and permitted purpose.
(b) Lot Lines. Side lot lines shall be essentially at right angles to straight streets and radial to curved streets.
(c) Width in Relation to Length. Narrow deep lots shall be avoided. The depth of a lot generally shall not exceed two and one-half times the width, as measured at the building line.
(d) Corner Lots. A corner lot shall have extra width to permit appropriate building setback from both streets or orientation to both streets. A lot abutting a pedestrian midblock crosswalk shall be treated as a corner lot.
(e) Back-Up Lots. A lot shall back into such features as freeways, arterial streets, shopping centers or industrial properties, except where there is a marginal access street provided. Such a lot shall contain a landscaped easement along the rear at least twenty feet wide, in addition to the utility easement to restrict access to the arterial street, to minimize noise and to protect outdoor living areas. A lot extending through a block and having frontage on two local streets is prohibited.
(f) Frontage. A lot shall front on a publicly dedicated street, but variances from this requirement may be permitted in an approved planned unit development.
(g) Division. The division of a lot in a recorded plat is prohibited, unless it is approved following application to Council. The application shall be filed with the City Clerk and shall state the reasons for the proposed division. No lot in a recorded plat shall be divided into more than four parts, and the resulting lots shall be not less in area than permitted by the Zoning Code. No building permit shall be issued, or building construction commenced, until the division has been approved by Council and the suitability of the land for building sites has been approved by the County or District Health Department. The division of a lot resulting in an area smaller than prescribed in this section may be permitted, but only for the purpose of adding to the existing building site. The application shall so state and shall be in affidavit form.
(h) Division of Unplatted Parcel. The division of an unplatted parcel of land into two, three or four lots involving the dedication of a new street shall comply with these Subdivision Regulations.
