§ 17.48

The width of blocks shall ordinarily be sufficient to allow for two tiers of lots with easements along rear lot lines as required.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

Depth and width of properties reserved for commercial or industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for development which includes off-street parking and loading areas.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

Pedestrian and/or bicycle paths at least ten feet in width shall be provided across blocks when required for public convenience or access to school playgrounds, parks, shopping centers or to other community facilities. All paths shall be improved and delineated in a manner approved by the city planning commission. Where the average grade of the pedestrian path right-of-way within a block prior to improvement exceeds twelve and one-half percent, groups of steps of concrete or other approved material shall be placed at appropriate locations in the path. Bicycle paths shall conform to the Standard Specifications for Public Improvements.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

In determining the permissible minimum lot area of lots less than ten thousand square feet in size, the area of all public utility transmission line easements, even though included in the lot design, shall not be included in the area of the lot.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

In a residential subdivision, corner lots and reversed corner lots shall have a lot width at least five feet greater than the minimum lot width specified in Title 16.

(Ord. 1198 § 1, 1988: Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

(Ord. No. 2266, 1-18-2011)

Through lots, flag lots, reverse frontage lots and reverse corner lots shall be avoided except where essential to provide a separation of residential development from traffic arteries or where otherwise required by topography and/or orientation.

(Ord. 2201 § 1 (part), 2007: Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

Side lot lines shall be substantially perpendicular or radial to street lines; however, in order to prevent skewed side lot lines because of subdivision design or orientation, the planning commission may allow nonperpendicular or nonradial side lot lines.

(Ord. 1432 § 1, 1990: Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

No subdivision shall be accepted which leaves unsubdivided lands, strips or parcels of property unsuited for subdividing and not accepted by the city for appropriate use and all lots must conform to the requirements of Title 16 of this code.

(Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

(Ord. No. 2266, 1-18-2011)

All lots, except for residential lots fronting onto the turnaround portion of a cul-de-sac, on the exterior curve of a cul-de-sac street or on the exterior curve at the intersection of two streets on a curve or a cul-de-sac, shall have a minimum of thirty feet of frontage on a public street and shall be no less than forty-two feet in width at the front yard setback. In addition, the planning commission may require the establishment of building setback lines (B.S.L.'s) on the final map on said lots. Planned unit development lots shall conform to the ordinance established for said lots pursuant to Title 16. This minimum frontage on a public street shall not apply to a condominium project, a community apartment project or mobile home park project so long as adequate common area or private streets are provided for ingress from and egress to a maintained public street for protection of public health, safety and welfare as approved by the planning commission. Design of ingress to and egress from and circulation within such projects shall be approved by the city engineer and the development department for the purpose of insuring adequate design criteria to permit entrance and maneuvering of city service and emergency services vehicles.

(Ord. 1287 § 5, 1985; Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

(Ord. No. 2266, 1-18-2011)

(a)

Single-family residential lots abutting any arterial or collector street shall not front or have access rights to such streets. The planning commission may allow, however, single-family residential lots one-half acre or larger in size with frontages of one hundred feet or greater to front on and have access rights to arterial or collector streets. Circular drives or other means to allow forward egress of vehicles from residential property onto the arterial or collector may be required by the planning commission in such cases. No residential lots shall front on or have access to major arterial streets. Lots rearing onto collector streets shall provide an additional ten foot wide lettered lot for the establishment of Landscape Management Assessment District. Lots rearing or siding onto arterial streets shall provide an additional seven foot wide lettered lot for the establishment of Landscape Management Assessment District. Where an LMAD meets a street intersection, the LMAD shall provide a 45 degree taper cutoff that maintains the minimum LMAD width at the mid-point of the cutoff. Where a frontage road is not provided, a solid masonry wall six feet in height shall be constructed along the right-of-way line along an arterial street. In lieu of the required solid masonry wall along arterial streets, the planning commission may substitute the requirement with more restrictive setback requirements for residential lots one-half acre or larger and one hundred feet of frontage or more.

(b)

The planning commission may require waiver of access rights to arterial streets from multiple residential property abutting thereon. Where a frontage road is not provided along such arterial streets and access rights to abutting multiple residential property are required to be waived, the planning commission may require the construction of a solid masonry wall six feet in height along the right-of-way line of such street abutting multiple residential property.

(c)

The planning commission may, as a condition of approval of a tentative or parcel map, restrict ingress and egress points and access to public streets as determined necessary for reasons of public safety. Such restrictions of ingress and egress and access points shall be duly noted by certificate on the parcel or final map.

(Ord. 2201 § 1 (part), 2007; Ord. 1271 § 3, 1985; Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)

(Ord. No. 2302, § 1, 10-15-13)

Where a residential subdivision abuts commercially or industrially zoned property, a street (to serve as a buffer) shall be provided along the lot line abutting the commercially or industrially zoned property. The street shall contain adequate width, exclusive of curbs, gutters and/or pavement to allow for the installation of landscaping along the common lot line. Further, the subdivisions shall be designed so as to eliminate residential units fronting on the street serving as the buffer, unless the subdivider can demonstrate sufficient constraints which necessitate the residential lots fronting on the street. In lieu of the required street and landscaping, the planning commission may substitute the requirement with an alternative of sufficient width to serve as the buffer, which may currently exist. In addition to the buffer requirement, a six-foot solid masonry wall shall be provided along the common lot line between the buffer and the commercial or industrial properties.

(Ord. 1383 § 1 (part), 1989)

The minimum area of commercial or industrial lot shall be the minimum building site area designated by Title 16 of this code for the zone district in which the lot is located, and the minimum frontage on a public street for a commercial or industrial lot shall be sixty feet.

(Ord. 1383 § 1 (part), 1989; Ord. 999 § 1 (part), 1985)
