§ 16.20.080. Lots.

A.

Generally. The size, shape, and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development contemplated.

B.

Lot Dimensions.

1.

Lot dimensions shall comply with the zoning ordinance.

2.

Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated.

3.

Residential lots abutting on major streets and highways shall be platted with sufficient depth to permit adequate separation between the buildings and such traffic ways.

4.

Lots should be designed with a suitable proportion between width and depth. Normal depth should not exceed two and one-half times the width, nor be less than one hundred (100) feet.

C.

Corner Lots. Corner lots should be designed to permit setback on both streets as required by the zoning ordinance.

D.

Access to Public Streets. Every lot shall front or abut on a dedicated public right-of-way.

E.

Lot Lines. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines.

F.

Large Lots. Where lots are created of a size larger than normal for the area, the planning commission may require that the plat be so designed as to allow for the possible future resubdivision of such lots into sizes normal for the area.

G.

Municipal Boundaries. Lots shall follow municipal boundary lines wherever practicable, rather than cross them.
