All proposed land divisions and land transfers must comply with the minimum lot area and minimum lot width requirements for the zoning district in which they are located. Dimensional standards for each zoning district are provided in Section 5.17, Tables 5.17-1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the Unified Development Code. Copies of the UDC are available to download at www.a2gov.org/udc. Zoning maps are available for online viewing at www.a2gov.org/zoning.

Further, any existing structure that will not comply with the minimum required setback (either less than the minimum required setback or cut by a proposed lot line) must be relocated or demolished before a land division or land transfer can be approved. ☐ There are no existing structures on the original parcel(s). ☐ All existing structures will continue to comply with required setbacks after proposed division or transfer. ☐ The proposed division or transfer will result in an existing structure that does not comply with required setbacks, and will be relocated or demolished prior to approval. ☐ The proposed division or transfer is located in a nonresidential zoning district and the distance between the front lot line and the public right-of-way is at least equal to the required front setback.
Lot Accessibility Information
Access to a public street is required for all parcels in accordance with Section 5.21.4 of the Unified Development Code. Indicate how the proposed parcels will access a public street: ☐ All proposed parcels abut a public right-of-way or a private street easement. ☐ The original parcel is located in an R1 zoning district, AND no more than two proposed parcels will be “landlocked,” AND a minimum 30-foot wide unobstructed access and utility easement is proposed as the only means of access to the proposed parcel(s). See Section 5.21.4.A.4 for all requirements of “landlocked” R1 parcel access and utility easements. ☐ The original parcel is located in a nonresidential zoning district, AND an easement is proposed meeting the requirements for “landlocked” parcels in nonresidential zoning districts of Section 5.21.4.A.3.
