Lot splits under SB 9 in Rolling Hills Estates

Both proposed newly created parcels must be of approximately equal lot area, which for purposes of this subsection means that one parcel may not be smaller than forty percent of the lot area of the original parcel proposed for subdivision.

An easement at least fifteen-feet wide must be provided over the front parcel to the rear parcel for access to the public right of way, providing quasi-public services and facilities, maintenance of utilities, and fire department access.

If a resulting lot is not directly adjacent to a public right of way, a private access easement at least fifteen-feet wide must be provided over the front parcel to the rear parcel for access to the public right of way.

Ten-foot wide easements must be provided over one of the parcels being created for private sewer lateral, water lateral and/or drainage that may cross over the shared property line in favor of the other parcel being created.

No new access from an arterial street will be permitted.

The use of a parcel subdivided as an urban lot split is limited to residential use.

The owner of the parcel intends to occupy one of the housing units as their principal residence for a minimum of three years from the date of the approval of the urban lot split.
