(A) Lots extending through a block are generally prohibited except where they back onto a freeway right of way, an arterial or collector street, a shopping center, an industrial district, a park, or other similar nonresidential area. All lots shall abut by their full frontage, on a dedicated public street, or an approved private street. Variances to this provision may be permitted in approved comprehensive developments.
(B) The portion of a lot bordering on a lake, stream, open area or similar amenity may be designated as the front, provided that a setback can be obtained on the street side equal to the setback required for the front. In no case, however, shall either setback be less than the front setback required in Chapter 151 of this code.
