4.3.5 Multi-Frontage Lots

Multi-frontage lots that create situations that are inconsistent with the existing surrounding development may require consideration by the City Planning Commission.  There are two types of multi-frontage lots, as listed below:

  1. Through Lot (Lot having frontage on two approximately parallel streets). In general development shall be oriented towards both streets. Through lots require review by the City Planning Commission except in the two following instances:
    • In an established urban environment of the city, through lots may be permitted in instances where a similar development pattern already exists in the surrounding area.
    • For institutional, commercial and industrial scale land uses occupying an entire square or portion of square
  2. Lot having frontage on two or more approximately perpendicular streets (except corner lots). This type of multi-frontage lots may be deemed appropriate upon a determination that there will not be a substantial negative impact upon neighboring properties.
