Title 1 — General Provisions (Abatement)›Chapter 24.04 — IMPROVEMENTS
§ 24.07
Marin County Planning Code · 2026-07 edition · ingested 2026-07-08 · Marin County
24.07.010 - Buildable lots. ¶
All developments shall result in the creation of lots which are developable, buildable, and reasonably accessible and shall not create lots which are impractical for improvement, as determined by the agency and/or the community development agency, due to steepness of terrain, location of watercourses, inability to handle waste disposal, or other natural or manmade physical conditions.
(Ord. 3181 § 5 (part), 1994)
24.07.020 - Double frontage lots. ¶
Lots other than corner lots having double frontage with depths of less than two hundred feet will not be approved except where necessitated by topographic or other physical conditions or where ingress or egress from one of the streets is constrained or otherwise prohibited.
(Ord. 3181 § 5 (part), 1994)
24.07.030 - Panhandle lots. ¶
Panhandle lots may be created where their use will result in better sites than would result with lots of normal frontage. The panhandle portion shall be a minimum width of twenty feet throughout.
(Ord. 3181 § 5 (part), 1994)
24.07.040 - Minimum frontage. ¶
All lots shall have frontage on a right-of-way or easement sufficient to accommodate the construction of a driveway in accordance with Part II (Driveways) of Chapter 24.04 of this code. The right-of-way or easement on which the lots front shall also be able to accommodate said driveway construction. Frontage on an easement will only be considered if, in the opinion of the agency, it results in better lot configuration and/or access than providing frontage on a right-of-way. The frontage shall be a minimum of twenty feet and shall in all cases be wide enough to entirely encompass the driveway and any appurtenant walls, fill slopes, cut banks and utilities.
(Ord. 3181 § 5 (part), 1994)
24.07.050 - Sidelines. ¶
Sidelines of lots shall be as near as possible to right angles to the street line upon which the lot faces.
(Ord. 3181 § 5 (part), 1994)
Chapter 24.10 - IMPROVEMENT PLANS
24.10.005 - Preparation and approval.
(a)
Prior to the commencement of any work on improvements covered by this title and before filing any required final subdivision map or parcel map, complete plans for all of those improvements shall be submitted to and approved by the director. In addition, landscape and irrigation plans and other plans required by the community development agency shall be approved by the community development agency director.
(b)
Improvement plans shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer unless this requirement is waived by the director. Plans shall be legible and clearly drawn. They shall be of such a scale, size and detail as to be acceptable to the agency. All elevations referred to shall be based on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum except that an assumed datum may be used if the entire project is above an elevation of twenty-five feet N.G.V.D.
(c)
Accompanying the plans shall be such engineering data and computations as are deemed necessary by the agency to check the adequacy of the proposed improvements and accuracy of the plans.
