Ordinance No. 2228 <br /> Page 11 of 17 <br /> 1. A flag lot shall be allowed with an urban lot split in a situation where a conventionally <br /> configured lot would not allow for a second lot of at least 1,200 square feet, <br /> accommodating two housing development units of at least 800 square feet each. <br /> 2. The portion of the flag lot constituting the access corridor shall be excluded when <br /> determining compliance with minimum lot size requirement of this chapter, from the <br /> site area, lot width, and lot depth as defined in chapter 18.08, and for purposes of <br /> determining floor area as defined in chapter 18.08. <br /> 3. Front, side, and rear yards for the purposes of identifying required setbacks shall be <br /> determined by the director of community development based on the relationship of <br /> the parcel to surrounding lots and structures and shall generally follow the pattern <br /> established by adjacent lots. <br /> 4. The maximum width of the access corridor portion of the flag lot shall be the same as <br /> the minimum width specified for driveway access in chapter 18.88.040, except where <br /> greater width is required for fire department access. <br /> 5. A fence may be constructed between the access corridor of a flag lot and the <br /> adjacent parcel, except that the fence height may not exceed 42 inches within the <br /> front yard area of the adjacent property. <br /> 6. All fire code requirements shall be met with respect to, but not limited to: access, <br /> driveway length and width, turnarounds, clearance, road grades, fire hydrant <br /> connections. <br /> D. Driveways shall conform to the minimum standards set forth in chapter 18.88.040, or as <br /> specified in the fire code if emergency vehicle access is required. <br /> E. Two driveways on less than 70 feet of total frontage are permitted only when necessary to <br /> provide access to both parcels resulting from the urban lot split. In this case, either the <br /> aggregate width of two separate driveways or a combined shared driveway must comply <br /> with the dimensions set forth in chapter 18.88.040 and the driveway shall be configured to <br /> avoid unnecessary loss of available curbside parking in the neighborhood. Shared <br /> driveways and shared curb cuts are encouraged whenever possible. <br /> F. Public service easements shall be provided within the subdivision where required for <br /> public utility purposes, in accordance with title 19 of this code. <br /> G. All uses on each newly-created parcel shall be limited to residential uses. <br /> 18.101.110 Required standards for all Housing Developments and Urban Lot Splits. <br /> All housing developments and urban lot splits shall meet the following standards: <br /> A. The standards set forth in this chapter shall not preclude the construction of up two <br /> housing development units per parcel and shall not preclude each housing development <br /> unit from being at least 800 square feet in floor area. <br /> B. No setback shall be required for an existing structure, or a structure constructed in the <br /> same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure. <br /> C. Each housing development unit shall maintain a minimum of four feet to interior side and <br /> rear property lines. <br /> D. On the street side of a corner lot the side yard for a housing development unit shall not be <br /> less than twice the depth of the minimum side yard prescribed for the district, except that a <br />
