2.2.3 Review criteria.
Policy B subdivisions require consideration by the City Planning Commission. They shall be considered against the following criteria:
- The request to separate buildings involves only principal buildings or the approximate footprints of historic principal buildings which no longer exist, as documented on surveys, Sanborn maps, aerial photography, or other resources.
- The subdivision creates the fewest lots necessary to separate buildings and/or the approximate footprints of historic principal buildings which no longer exist;
- Proposed lot conditions comply as nearly as is practical with the applicable requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance while still accomplishing the policy’s intent of creating separate lots for separate buildings/historic building sites.
- The proposal is consistent with the Land Use Element of the Master Plan.
