§ 96-30. Lots.

(a)

General. All lots shall be consistent with the requirements of the zoning ordinance [chapter 110, Code of Ordinances]. In addition, the following requirements shall apply:

(1)

Width. All lots fronting on a cul-de-sac shall have a minimum width at the right-of-way line of not less than 35 feet, measured at the chord.

(2)

Depth. Lot depths along designated thoroughfare roads shall be 150 percent of the average lot depth or lots shall front on service drives without increased depth.

(3)

Orientation.

a.

Every lot shall abut on a public street which has a minimum right-of-way of at least 50 feet, except as may be provided under section 96-28(e)(1)a.

b.

When lots are platted or developed abutting a limited-access city, state or federal highway, ingress or egress shall be limited to the interior streets or marginal-access roads.

(b)

Dimensions. Lots shall meet the minimum dimensional requirements of the zoning ordinance [chapter 110, Code of Ordinances] and shall be determined by the particular land use and building size proposed provided that minimum dimensions for lots utilizing individual wells and/or septic tanks shall be in accordance with section 96-34.

(1)

Corner lots. Corner lots shall have a 15 percent greater width and area than that required by the applicable zoning classification to accommodate setbacks from both streets except where all lots have an area of one-half acre or larger.

(2)

Business, industrial off-street parking. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for business and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated. Due to high lot coverage of building, parking and roads, lot size shall include suitably sized and located areas to accommodate on-site storm water retention and/or detention in accordance with chapter 98, article IV of this Code, and tree protection and replacement in accordance with chapter 98, article II.

(3)

Street access. The development of land shall provide, by means of a street or accessway, each lot with satisfactory and permanent access to an existing paved public street. Backing onto streets shall not be permitted except in single-family and duplex developments. In addition, where automobiles backing onto adjacent streets from single-family or duplex driveways are anticipated to present a potential traffic flow or safety problem, the DRC may require provisions, such as turnaround areas or horseshoe driveways, or other access control measures as deemed necessary.

(c)

Double-frontage lots. Double-frontage lots shall be permitted only where necessary to separate a development from thoroughfares, to overcome disadvantage of topography and orientation, or to limit individual driveway access where necessary to preserve the carrying capacity of streets. Where double-frontage lots are created, they shall all front in the same direction. The rear of the lots shall be screened from the abutting street by a wall of brick or masonry construction, erected on-site, six feet in height. The DRC may require landscaping of suitable height or permit a fence other than masonry. Such double-frontage lots shall be at least 150 feet in depth. Access rights along the portion of the lots abutting a thoroughfare shall be dedicated to the city by means of a note stating, "Vehicular Access Rights Dedicated to City of Deltona" lettered on the final plat along the right-of-way line adjacent to the lots affected.
