In no instance shall a certificate of occupancy be approved for a lot or parcel split without the approval of the city. The sale or transfer of ownership of a portion of such a lot or parcel or the detachment of a portion of such lot or parcel to an abutting parcel, which causes the remaining parcel to be less than the requirements of § 190.290 of this chapter, shall not be allowed. The following procedure shall be followed in the undertaking of any lot or parcel split and any transfer of one part of a lot or parcel to an abutting lot or parcel.
(A) Submissions. The developer or petitioner shall submit to the City Engineer:
(1) One copy of an application for review of the proposed lot or parcel split; and
(2) One copy of a sketch drawn to scale of the proposed lot or parcel split indicating the following data:
(a) Name and address of the owner, subdivider or petitioner;
(b) Date, north arrow and scale, written and graphic;
(c) Boundary lines of the lot or parcel to be split;
(d) Street names, rights-of-way and roadway widths of all existing and proposed streets within and adjacent to the proposed lot or parcel split;
(e) All existing structures and other physical features which would influence the layout and design of the lot or parcel split; and
(f) Location, width and purpose of easements.
(B) Application review.
(1) Should the City Engineer find that the proposed lot or parcel split will not impair or does not create or increase the non-conforming condition or create a lot or parcel which cannot be used under the terms of the zoning ordinance, such lot or parcel split shall be approved.
(2) All lots or parcels resulting from a lot or parcel split shall be suitable for development as zoned.
(3) Should the City Engineer find that the proposed lot or parcel split will create or increase the non-conforming condition of a lot or parcel which cannot be used under the terms of the zoning ordinance, such lot or parcel split shall be disapproved. If the application is denied, the applicant may appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
