4.3.4 Change of Lot Frontage
When a resubdivision proposes to change a lot’s frontage from one street to another, the new frontage shall be consistent with the existing lot frontage pattern or an improvement over the established pattern in the same zoning district. Where multiple lots are held in common ownership in a single development site, the front of the development site shall be treated as the lot frontage. The Executive Director shall make the determination as to whether a proposal is consistent with, or an improvement over the established pattern. Proposed change of lot frontage that is generally consistent with the existing lot pattern, as determined by the Executive Director may be approved administratively. Proposed change of lot frontage that is not generally consistent with the existing lot pattern shall be considered by the City Planning Commission.
