Lots created for single-family detached dwellings in any residential district and two-family dwellings where permitted shall comply with the area and dimension requirements specified in Schedule 151.1004 for the district in which the lot is located.
(A) Minimum Lot Area. The area of a lot that may be used for the purposes of a dwelling unit shall not be less than the area set forth in Schedule 151.1004 except as otherwise permitted in division (D) below.
(B) Minimum Lot Width. The width of a lot, measured at the building line, shall not be less than the width set forth in Schedule 151.1004.
(C) Minimum Lot Frontage. The minimum lot frontage shall be the same as the minimum lot width except for lots on cul-de-sacs as set forth in Schedule 151.1004 and as otherwise permitted in division (D) below.
(D) Exceptions for Panhandle Lots.
(1) The minimum lot frontage required for panhandle lots shall be 20 feet measured at the public street right-of-way which provides access to the lot.
(2) Panhandle lots can only be created, however, when the lot area is 150% of the permitted minimum lot area of the district or 100% of the area of the front lot of which the panhandle lot is located immediately behind, whichever is larger in size. If the lot is located behind more than one lot, the new lot must be 150% of the permitted minimum area or 100% of the area of all the lot area that it is located behind, whichever is greater, provided, however, that no lot need exceed 200% of the permitted minimum area.
(3) In calculating the area of the panhandle lot for purposes of determining whether it meets the minimum area requirements, if the panhandle or portion of the lot providing access to the street right-of-way is less than 35 feet in width at any point of the panhandle, the area of the panhandle shall not be included in the lot area calculations.
(4) The principal dwelling of a panhandle lot shall not be constructed closer to the side and rear lot lines than 150% of the respective minimum side and rear yard setback requirements established in Schedule 151.1005, and shall be a minimum of 50 feet from the front lot line. For the purposes of this division (D), the front lot line shall be that portion of the property line nearest and perpendicular to the access strip or panhandle of the lot. The rear lot line is the lot line opposite and parallel to the front lot line.
(5) Adequate screening may be required for the panhandle lot if the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposed dwelling, parking area, driveway or accessory structures infringes on the privacy and enjoyment of adjoining residential properties. In such case, appropriate landscaping shall be provided as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
(E) One Dwelling per Lot. There shall not be more than one dwelling constructed on a lot, except as otherwise regulated in § 151.1006 for single-family clusters, attached single-family or multi-family developments.
