20.56.120 Other general development standards.
A. Identification or Designation of Lot Lines in Doubt. Where the identification or designation of the front, side, or rear lot line is in doubt, as in the following situations, the director of community development shall determine the identity or designation of the lot lines:
1. Corner lots or parcels of land with two street frontages approximately equal in length;
2. Through lots or parcels of land fronting on two or more streets; and
3. Lots or parcels of land where the only contiguous boundary to a public street or highway is provided by a driveway or other private access, or by a street frontage of less than 35 feet. The director of community development shall also determine the measurement of the lot width.
B. Street Frontage. Each lot or parcel of land shall have a street frontage of not less than 35 feet where the front property line coincides with the street dedication line.
C. Under-Width Streets. A building or structure shall not be erected on a lot or parcel of land that abuts a street having only a portion of its required width dedicated and where either no part of, or less than half of, such dedication would normally revert to the lot or parcel of land if the street were vacated, unless the yards provided and maintained in connection with such building or structure have sufficient width or depth in that portion of the lot or parcel of land needed to complete the street width, plus whatever width or depth of yards is required on the lot or parcel of land by this zoning code.
D. Floor-Area Ratio.
1. Adherence to Designated Floor-Area Ratio. Proposed buildings and existing buildings which may be reconstructed, altered, moved, or enlarged may not exceed the floor-area ratio indicated for the zone in which said buildings are or may be located except as otherwise provided in subsection (D)(2) of this section.
2. Buildings Located on Zone Boundary Lines. Where proposed buildings and existing buildings which may be reconstructed, altered, moved or enlarged are located or may be located on a lot or parcel of land divided into two or more zones, then such building shall be established in compliance with any prescribed floor-area ratio, or the average floor-area ratio if more than one ratio applies. Where a height limit applies in one zone and a floor-area ratio in another, such building shall be established in compliance with the less restrictive regulation.
3. Floor Area Underground. Floor area included in subsurface floors of a building shall not be counted or included in any determinations based on floor area or lot coverage. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
