Section 16.24.160 Lots.

    A.    Arrangement. The lot arrangement and design shall be such that all lots will provide satisfactory building sites, properly related to topography and the character of surrounding development.
    B.    Frontage. Each lot shall have its full frontage on a street. The minimum frontage shall be as specified in the zoning ordinance.
    C.    Depth. The depth to width ratio of any single-family residential lot shall not be greater than three to one.
    D.    Side Lot Lines. Except where it is determined that an exception to the following would provide a better lot layout, all side lot lines shall be at nearly right angles to streets; where streets are curved, the lot lines shall be radial to the street.
    E.    Double Frontage Lots.
    1.    Residential lots with frontage on two parallel streets shall be avoided except where the commission determines that it is essential to provide separation of the residential development from arterial or collector roads. A Type A buffer, as defined in the zoning ordinance, shall be provided along one of the street frontages.
    2.    Nonresidential lots with frontage on two parallel streets are acceptable; however, the plan commission may require a Type A buffer, as defined in the zoning ordinance, along one of the street frontages.
    F.    Corner Lots. Corner lot shall be sufficiently larger than interior lots to allow maintenance of setback lines on both streets.
    G.    Lots Fronting Arterial or Collector Roads. Whenever possible, a major subdivision which fronts arterial or collector roads shall be designed so that all lots are provided access through the development of local subdivision streets. Access standards for property abutting collector and arterial streets are found in Table II. (Ord. 99-24 § 3 (part), 1999; Ord. 97-48 § 3 (part), 1997; Ord. 89-60 § 3 (part), 1989; prior code § 28-52)
