Page 5 of 12 proposal would reduce a street access nonconformity but it does not conform with subdivision requirements for lot location on a public street and also does not conform with Zoning Code requirements for number and size of accessory structures. The proposed would address four nonconforming accessory structures for location while creating a new nonconforming accessory structure for location and increasing the nonconformities of number and size of accessory structures for Subject Property B. The applicable requirements and evaluations of the proposed subdivision are addressed in the next section. Plan Evaluation Chapter 11, Subdivisions Regulations Review 1. 1150.04 Division or Consolidation of Platted Lots of Record The application is to divide one or more existing platted lots designated in a subdivision plat on file and of record in the office of the recorder or registrar of titles for the county, into one or more separately described parcels. While the minor subdivision request does not create new lots, the request further divides the subject properties. The Application is subject to compliance with the conditions for Survey, Relation to Zoning Ordinance, Public Welfare, Conformity, and Filing Fee. The application meets the requirements for these conditions except Conformity, which requires that the proposed division shall conform to such other requirements in the Subdivision chapter of the City Code. The proposed adjustments to the lot lines impacting Subject Properties B and C do not bring Subject Property B into full conformance with the Subdivision code as it relates to lot location on a public street. The proposed also does not bring all subject properties into conformance with the Zoning Code, which is evaluated in the next section. Location - Nonconforming All lots are required to abut by their full frontage on a public street. Subject Property C has frontage on Oak Avenue and Lake Johanna Boulevard and would be considered a corner lot with the front lot line being along Oak Avenue. The existing Subject Property A does not have any frontage on a public street and is accessible by a driveway easement from Lake Johanna Blvd. The Applicant’s request would not change this, nor would it create another lot that would not have full frontage on a public street. Subject Property B has frontage on Lake Johanna Blvd but the property does not have direct access to this roadway and the front building line of the principal structure is oriented toward Oak Avenue. Lake Johanna Blvd is a county road and is identified as a community street in the Subdivision code and as a collector street in the Zoning Code. Section 1325.06 of the Zoning Code requires single- family dwellings to provide two (2) off-street parking spaces and all off-street parking spaces shall have access driveways and access directly to public streets. Any residential lot, with frontage on both a local street and a collector street must access the property only from the local street. Based on the code requirements, Subject Property B is required to be accessed from a local street, in this case, Oak Avenue. Double Frontage Lots – Permitted Exception By incorporating the existing driveway into Subject Property B, the property would become a double frontage lot as defined by the Subdivision Code or through lot as defined by the Zoning Code. The Subdivision code states that double frontage lots shall be avoided except where lots back on an arterial or community street. Lake Johanna Boulevard acts as a community street and
