The purpose of the Lot Size combining district is to provide for various lot sizes in the Estate (E) and Natural Resource (NR) districts. The minimum lot size specified for E and NR districts will vary by combination with the Lot Size combining district. The numerical designation following an E or NR designation in parenthesis (e.g., E (½ acre)) will specify the minimum lot size in that district. The basis for the minimum lot size applied to an area shall include neighborhood character, compatibility with surrounding uses, and consistency with the county general plan. In no case shall the Lot Size combining district establish a lot size less than the minimum specified by the base district with which the Lot Size combining district is combined.
