Lot frontage requirements shall reflect the subdivision or land development conditions. These standards are intended to provide a reasonable building envelope on each lot. The following guidelines govern lot configuration (see Section 40.26.210):

A.

Where a grid street system exists, the lots should be as close to rectangular as feasible.

B.

In curvilinear street patterns, irregular lot shapes will result. The construction envelope is where the minimum frontage is needed; therefore, the lot width may not be narrower than the minimum frontage at any point of intersection within the envelope. The developer may have envelopes more restrictive than the minimum yard setbacks.

C.

Where topography, natural resources, or property shape make normal lotting difficult, common drives, flag lots, or shared easements shall be considered.
