Sec. 26-299. - Conformance to City standards.

All adopted General Plan elements and specific area plans.

The master plan of streets.

Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction.

(d)

City Engineer's standard drawings.

(e)

Any applicable City ordinances and resolutions.

(f)

Lot standards as contained in this Code.

(1)

Frontage on street. All lots in the subdivision shall have a minimum twenty (20) feet of frontage on a street except that on other than R-1 and/or R-A zoned land an alternate minimum twenty (20) feet wide permanent access easement may be utilized subject to approval of the Planning Commission and/or City Council. Documents necessary to implement an approved permanent access easement shall be subject to review and approval of the City Attorney and shall be recorded concurrently with the final map or parcel map.

(2)

Lot dimensions. Lot dimensions shall conform to the standards of development as contained in chapter 26 of this Code or other official plans adopted pursuant to law. Irregularly shaped lots shall be subject to individual approval by the City.

(3)

Jurisdictional boundary lines. No lot shall be divided by a county, City or school district boundary line.

(4)

Lot side lines. Lot side lines shall be approximately at right angles or radial to the street center line.

(5)

Use of flag lots. The standards in this subsection shall only apply to residential flag lots. Residential flag lots may be permitted through a parcel map or tentative subdivision map when they comply with the standards in this section, in addition to any other applicable City standards:

a.

Limitation on number of residential flag lots. Flag lots shall not be approved where alternative designs are feasible. To avoid an over-concentration of residential flag lots in any one (1) neighborhood, residential flag lots shall not be allowed where approval of a proposed subdivision would result in flag lots comprising greater than one (1) or ten (10) percent of the number of lots in the immediate neighborhood (whichever is greater). Lots in the immediate neighborhood shall be defined as all lots which would be created by a proposed subdivision plus all residentially-zoned lots lying wholly or partially within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed subdivision.

b.

Where a subdivision proposes more than one (1) flag lot a flag lot shall not be located adjacent to another flag lot.

c.

Flag lots must have a minimum of twenty (20) feet of frontage on a street. The lot(s) located between the primary portion of the flag lot and the street shall have the minimum feasible depth required to comply with the requirements of chapter 26 of this Code. The accessway serving an infill residential flag lot shall not be included when calculating the required area of that lot.

(6)

Cul-de-sacs. Minimum street frontage of thirty-three (33) feet.

(g)

Any subdivision that results in a lot without direct access to and from a public street shall dedicate a separate parcel as a private street maintained by the homeowners association. Private streets shall comply with all applicable standards listed in chapter 19, article VIII of this Code.
