§ 21.32.010. Specifications generally.

When property is designated on the General Plan or by the zoning provisions for commercial use, the plan of the subdivision shall be appropriate for such use. Streets shall be designed to handle the anticipated traffic that will utilize them. Insofar as possible, streets shall be laid out so that there will be direct access to the commercial area from arterial and collector streets without utilizing local streets or traversing residential areas. Lot areas and dimensions shall conform with the requirements of zoning provisions and shall be adequate to accommodate the yard spaces, off-street parking facilities and off-street loading facilities required by the zoning provisions and such additional spaces and other service facilities as are needed for the type of use and development contemplated. Property shall not be designated for commercial use on a subdivision map unless the property is designated for commercial or industrial use on the General Plan and the zoning provisions.
