On "irregular lots," defined as a lot of such a shape or configuration that technically meets the area, frontage, and width/depth requirements of this title but is unusual in elongations, angles, curvilinear lines unrelated to topography or other natural features, including triangle, gore, or pie-shaped lots, where determined by the city that alternative building orientations are not feasible and/or desirable to the city, the city council may approve adjusted building setbacks below the minimums listed in this subsection provided the average setback remains at or greater than the required setback; provided, however, that no portion of a building shall feature less than a 10-foot setback in relation to any property line.

The city may deny a commercial use on property where insufficient lot size or lot shape is such that it creates illogical traffic circulation, or is not conducive to the intent of this title. The city will encourage the consolidation of lots for commercial uses where odd-shaped and insufficient-sized lots exist.

These areas shall be oriented away from public view and shall be well maintained. Where a garbage dumpster is used, the enclosure shall be a solid masonry wall and the gate shall be painted or powder coated metal.

The Riverton City council finds that the regulation of title lending businesses and check cashing businesses is a serious matter which affects the prosperity and welfare of the residents of Riverton City. The council further finds that the regulation of title lending businesses and check cashing businesses is appropriately the responsibility of the governments of the United States and of the state of Utah. The council also finds that current regulation and control over title lending businesses and check cashing businesses by the federal and state governments is inadequate to protect the welfare of the citizens of Riverton City, in that state and federal regulations do not place limitations on the locations wherein title lending businesses and check cashing businesses can be found, and further do not limit the number of eligible title lending businesses and check cashing businesses within a community.

Limitations.
