19.42.090 Minimum lot width circle calculation and exceptions.
A. Purpose. The purpose of the minimum lot width circle requirement is to:
1. Ensure that each lot is wide enough to maintain a consistent and compatible land use pattern in residential neighborhoods; and
2. Ensure that a minimum buildable area is included in each lot created.
B. Requirement. Table 19.42.020 identifies the minimum lot width circle diameter that must fit within each newly created lot in residential zones. This circle establishes that at least some portion of a lot must be at least as wide as the minimum lot width. The lot width circle must not include submerged lands, landslide hazard areas and buffers, regulated wetlands and buffers, and Types 1, 2, 3 and 4 streams and buffers.
C. The following lots are exempt from minimum lot width circle standards: duplexes, triplexes, cottage and townhouse developments, where individual units are subdivided into separate lots via unit lot subdivision.
