Lake County Zoning Code § 7.12 Minimum lot size

• (a) Twenty (20) acres except when the conditions exist as set forth in Subsection (b).

• (b) Minimum lot sizes of five (5) to twenty (20) acres may be approved when, as a result of physical features of the property, it is determined that adherence to the twenty (20) acre minimum parcel size would result in significant environmental impacts, or loss of agricultural efficiency, or physical separation of proposed parcels by physical features. Physical features may include, but are not limited to:

  1. “Blue line” creeks as indicated on U.S.G.S. topographic maps; or

  2. An existing publicly maintained road; or

  3. A “ridge”; or

7-6

4. Prime soils, Classes I through IV, may be the basis for reduction in minimum lot size where a reduction would allow the retention of prime soils in a single agricultural unit.

• (c) All subdivisions created pursuant to Section 7.12(b) shall include as a condition of approval rezoning to add a “B-Frozen”, “B-4” or “B-5” district of Article 30 to insure that the permitted density of Section 7.11 is not exceeded.
