(a) LOT. A parcel of land of at least sufficient size to meet minimum zoning requirements for use, coverage and/or area, and to provide the yards and other open spaces as are herein required. The lot shall have frontage on an improved public or private street, and may consist of:
(1) A single lot of record;
(2) A portion of a lot of record;
(3) A combination of complete lots of record, of complete lots of record and portions of lots of record, or of portions of lots of record, provided that it is recorded as one lot; or
(4) A parcel of land described by metes and bounds description, provided that in no case of division or combination shall any residual lot or parcel be created which does not meet the requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.
(b) LOT FRONTAGE. The front of a lot shall be construed to be the portion nearest the street. For the purpose of determining yard requirements on corner lots and through lots, all sides of a lot adjacent to streets shall be considered frontage and yards shall be provided as indicated under yards in § 1133.170.
(c) LOT LINES. The lines bounding a lot.
(d) LOT MEASUREMENTS. See Figure 1133.01.
(1) AREA OF A LOT. Shall be computed from the area contained in horizontal plane defined by the lot lines.
(2) DEPTH OF A LOT. The distance between the midpoints of straight lines connecting the foremost points of the side lot lines in front and the rearmost points of the side lot lines in the rear.
(3) FLAG LOT. A more efficient building lot configuration designed to allow an interior lot access to a right-of-way or where natural or other limitations would restrict a full lot width at the street frontage.
(4) WIDTH OF A LOT. The distance between straight lines connecting front
and rear lot lines at each side of the lot measured across the rear of the required front yard, provided, however, that width between side lot lines at their foremost points (where they intersect with the street line) shall not be less than 80% of the required lot width except in the case of lots on the turning circle of cul-de-sacs, where the 80% requirements shall not apply.
(e) LOT, RECORD. A lot which is part of a subdivision, the map of which has been recorded in the office of the County Recorder of Warren County, Ohio, or of a lot described by metes and bounds, the description of which has been recorded in the office.
(f) LOT, CORNER. A lot located at the intersection of two or more streets. A lot abutting on a curved street or streets shall be considered a CORNER LOT if straight lines drawn from the furthermost points of the side lot lines to the foremost points of the side lines to the foremost point of the lot meet at an interior angle of less than 135 degrees. See Figure 1133.02.
(g) LOT, INTERIOR. A lot other than a corner lot with only one frontage on a street other than an alley. See Figure 1133.02.
(h) LOT, REVERSED FRONTAGE. A lot in which the frontage is at right angles, or approximately right angles, to the general pattern in the area involved. A reversed frontage lot may also be a corner lot or an interior lot. See Figure 1133.02.
(i) LOT, THROUGH. A lot other than a corner lot with frontage on more than one street other than an alley. THROUGH LOTS with frontage on two streets may be referred to as double frontage lots. See Figure 1133.02.
