(A) Lots sizes and dimensions shall conform to the minimum requirements of the applicable zoning district. Lot area shall be calculated including all easements. Changes in the required lot sizes and dimensions may only be allowed through rezoning or through the granting of a variance by the city. Lots in the extraterritorial jurisdiction shall provide the minimum lot area necessary for the treatment of wastewater.
(B) Each lot shall abut an improved public street right-of-way along at least one property line.
(C) Key lots or irregular shaped lots shall have sufficient width at the front building line to meet frontage requirements of the appropriate zoning district. Also, the rear width shall be sufficient to provide access or all utilities, but in no case less than ten feet.
(D) Flag lots, which have minimal or panhandle-type frontage, shall not be allowed in lieu of providing access to lots on the interior of a subdivision with one or more public streets except, however, that one flag, lot may be approved in the subdivision of an extremely long and relatively narrow previously unplatted tract into two lots provided that the street frontage of the flag lot is at least 25 feet, and the width of the lot where any building is constructed is at least the minimum required by the applicable zoning district.
(E) Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines.
(F) Double frontage and reverse frontage lots will be avoided, except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantage of topography and orientation. Where lots have double frontage, a front building line shall be established for each street.
(G) Each lot in each block shall be labeled sequentially from one.
