(a) Lot Dimensions.
(1) All lots shall conform to the minimum dimensional requirements of the Zoning Code.
(2) Where lots are more than double the minimum lot width and/or lot area required for the zoning district, the Planning Commission may require that those lots be arranged so as to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets where they would be necessary to serve potential lots, all in compliance with the Zoning Code and these regulations. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for business, commercial, or industrial purpose shall be adequate to provide for the off-street parking and loading facilities required for the type of use and development contemplated, as established in the Zoning Code.
(b) Lot Arrangement. All lots shall abut on a public street or place.
(c) Corner Lots.
(1) All corner residential lots shall have extra width sufficient for maintenance of building lines on both streets. The minimum width shall be one hundred (100) feet.
(2) Dimensions of corner lots shall be large enough to allow for erection of buildings, observing the minimum front yard setback from both streets.
(d) Lot Orientation. In general, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines (or radial to curving street lines) unless a variation from this rule will give a better street or lot plan.
(e) Double Frontage Lots and Access to Lots.
(1) Double frontage and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arterials or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation.
(2) Lots shall not, in general, derive access exclusively from a major or secondary street. Where driveway access from a major or secondary street may be necessary for several adjoining lots, the Planning Commission may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazards on the street. Where possible, driveways should be designed and arranged so as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on major and secondary arterials.
(3) Any lot having an area of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet or less shall not be deeper than three (3) times its width and contain a minimum width of ninety (90) feet.
(4) Any lot over twenty thousand (20,000) square feet in area shall not be deeper than two and one-half (2-1/2) times its width.
(5) All lots shall have a minimum lot width of ninety (90) feet and a minimum lot depth of one hundred twenty (120) feet.
