17.500.010   General design standards-General.
   A.   The size, design, character, grade, location, orientation and configuration of lots within a proposed subdivision and improvements required in connection therewith shall be consistent with the density and uses authorized for the area by the general plan, the applicable specific plan, this title, and other land use regulations, and shall provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.
   B.   The density, timing or sequence of development may be restricted by considerations of safety, traffic access or circulation, the slope of the natural terrain, the physical suitability of the site (including soil conditions), the nature or extent of existing development, the availability of public utilities, environmental habitat or wildlife preservation or protection, or other provisions of this title.
   C.   All subdivisions shall result in lots that can be used or built upon. No subdivision shall create lots that are impractical for improvement or use due to steepness of terrain, location of watercourses, size, shape, inadequate frontage, access, building area, or other physical condition. Except for lots within a planned unit development, all residentially zoned lots shall have not less than 20 feet of public street frontage, approved private street frontage, or alley frontage.
