59-C-1.42. Special requirements.

In addition to the development standards set forth in section 59-C-1.43, the following regulations shall apply:

   59-C-1.421. Development Approval Procedure. The procedure for approval shall be as set forth in the subdivision regulations, being chapter 50 of the County Code.

   59-C-1.422. Community Water and Sewer. No land shall be subdivided under this method and no building permit shall be issued unless the resulting development will be connected to community water supply and sewerage systems.

   59-C-1.423. Unsuitable Lots. To control what may be included on a plat for the purposes of the average net lot area requirement, the planning board, at its discretion, may exclude from such average any lot or lots which by reason of size, shape, location or for other good cause, are not reasonably suitable for single-family residential development, or the planning board may require replatting of such lots.

   59-C-1.424. Limitation on Size of Certain Lots. The planning board may require that lots have an area no smaller than the average net lot area required for the zone, if they adjoin any of the following:

      (a)   Major highways;

      (b)   Limited-access highways;

      (c)   Railways;

      (d)   Land zoned for multiple-family, commercial or industrial use; or

      (e)   Lots developed within the standard development provisions of section 59-C-1.32.

   59-C-1.425. Land Dedicated to Public Use. Land to be dedicated on the subdivision record plat for recreation, parks, school sites or other public use and approved by the planning board, may be included in the calculation of the average net lot area.

   59-C-1.426. Public Rights-of-Way. Areas dedicated for public roads, streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, utility and storm drainage rights-of-way and for the location of other necessary facilities appurtenant thereto, shall not be included in the calculation of the average net lot area.

   59-C-1.427. Maintenance of Average Area. The average net area of all of the lots in any record plat, together with all record plats previously recorded in the same subdivision, shall at no time be less than the average required for the zone.

   59-C-1.428. Transfer of Excess Area. The planning board may approve the transfer of area from a subdivision to an adjoining subdivision in the same zone if both are subdivided under this method and the combined development will have an average lot area no smaller than required for the zone.

   59-C-1.429. Resubdivision Controlled. Resubdivision of land subdivided under this method is prohibited if it would result in a reduction in the average net lot areas, except for any land which has been reclassified to a different zone. Record plats shall bear the notice "Density Control Development-Resubdivision Strictly Controlled," and an indication of the zone in which the land is classified.
