17.140.010 General.

In general, a lot shall be a parcel of land of sufficient size to meet minimum zoning requirements for use, coverage, width, and area. [Ord. 344, 2004; Ord. 93 § 3.3(1), 1987].

17.140.020 Dimensions.

(1) Residential Lot Size. Lot sizes shall conform to the property development requirements of each district. Corner lots shall be at least five feet more in width than other lots on the same block in order to permit appropriate building setback from the orientation to both streets.

(2) Commercial Lot Size. Where property is zoned and planned for business or industrial use, other widths and areas may be permitted at the discretion of the planning commission. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street parking and loading facilities required by the type of use contemplated.

(3) Large Lot Development. In developing tracts into large lots which at some future time are likely to be redivided or partitioned, the planning commission may require that the blocks shall be of size and shape, be so divided into lots and contain building site restrictions to provide for extension and opening of streets at intervals which will permit a subsequent division of any parcel into lots of smaller size.

(4) Lots for Utility Substations or Pump Stations. Lot sizes for utility substations and pump stations in any zoning district shall be the minimum necessary to accommodate the use. [Ord. 344, 2004; Ord. 93 § 3.3(2), 1987].

17.140.030 Street orientation.

(1) Lot Lines. All side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial to curved street lines, unless variation from these requirements is deemed necessary by the planning commission. [Ord. 344, 2004; Ord. 93 § 3.3(3), 1987].
