(A) All lots shall have a minimum frontage, minimum width, and a minimum depth in conformance with the standards established in Title 17 and the General Plan. Exceptions to this provision are as follows:
(1) The requirements for frontage on a dedicated street shall not apply to lots served by an approved private way;
(2) Corner lots shall be at least 14% wider than the minimum requirements for interior lots in any zone, in order to maintain required building lines on both front and side streets.
(B) All residential lots shall have a minimum area as set forth in the General Plan and § 17.12.010 of this code. Easements over any such lot for public utility purposes shall not be considered as a reduction of the required lot area; provided, however, that said easements shall not cover more than one-sixth of the total area of such lot.
(C) Where lots front on a major or secondary highway as shown on the General Plan, said lots shall have no direct vehicular access thereto. Provision shall be made for access by the dedication of alleys to the side or rear of said lots or by the provision of service roads, separated from and parallel to the highway.
(D) On major traffic, collector and local streets, all lots shall front upon the street that parallels the long dimension of the block. In the case of square blocks, the Commission shall determine on the basis of the existing uses and the purposes established in the general plan which block face shall be considered as frontage.
(E) Flag lots shall not be permitted.
(F) Double frontage shall not be permitted except where access rights are limited to one street.
(G) Side lot lines of rectangular lots shall be as nearly perpendicular to the centerline of the street upon which the lots front as is practical. Side lot lines of lots fronting on curved streets shall be nearly radial as is practical.
(H) Notwithstanding other provisions of this code, no lot may be created which has less than 50 feet of frontage on a dedicated street; provided however, that this provision shall not apply to any lot created as part of an historic preservation participation incentive in accordance with § 17.40.140 of this code.
