Where more than one dwelling is constructed on one lot or parcel
of land, the buildings shall be so located that the lot or parcel
can be divided geometrically into smaller parcels or lots. When so
divided each shall be considered as a separate lot or parcel. The
number and location of buildings shall comply with the requirements
of the zone in which the lot or parcel of land is located. Nothing
in this section shall be construed to allow the partitioning or division
of any lot or parcel of land in such a manner as to result in substandard
lots in contravention of any other ordinance of the city prescribing
minimum lot standards.
(Ord. 98 § 12.01, 1974)
No lot or parcel of land held under separate ownership shall
be separated in ownership or reduced in size below the minimum lot
width or lot area required by this title. No lot or parcel of land
held under separate ownership at the time this title becomes effective
and which has a width or an area less than that required by this title
shall be further reduced in any manner. No portion of a lot, necessary
to provide the required area per dwelling, shall be separated in ownership
from the portion of the lot upon which the building containing the
dwelling unit or units is located.
(Ord. 98 § 12.02, 1974)
No building or structure shall be moved from one lot or premises
to another, or be relocated upon the same lot or premises, unless
such building or structure shall thereupon be made to conform to all
the provisions of this title and all other ordinances of the city
relative to buildings or structures hereafter erected upon the lot
or premises to which such building or structure shall have been moved
or relocated upon.
(Ord. 98 § 12.03, 1974; Ord. 132 § 1, 1976)
No building or structure existing prior to adoption of this
title which is designed, arranged, intended for, or devoted to a use
not permitted in the zone in which such building or structure is located,
shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, built upon or structurally
altered, unless the use of such building or structure is changed to
a use permitted in the zone in which such building or structure is
located.
(Ord. 98 § 12.04, 1974)
Nothing in this title shall be deemed or construed or prevent
the completion of any building or structure which is under construction
prior to adoption of this title, in the event that such construction
or the proposed use of such building or structure, is not at said
date in violation of any other ordinance or law, and in the further
event that such building or structure is completed within one year
from such date. Nothing in this title shall be construed to prohibit
the restoration of any building or structure, the minor portion of
which shall have been destroyed by the elements, fire, explosion,
act of God or act of public enemy. If the major portion of any building
or structure shall have been destroyed upon restoration thereof the
use thereof shall be made to conform to a use permitted in the zone
in which such building or structure is located, a major portion being
that the cost of repairs equal or exceed fifty percent of the fair
market value of such structure based on the most recent assessment
information of the county assessor.
(Ord. 98 § 12.05, 1974)
All electrical, telephone, CATV and similar services, wires,
or cables, which provide direct service to any property being developed
shall, within the exterior boundary lines of such property, be installed
underground. Risers on poles and buildings are permitted and shall
be provided by the developer or owner onto the pole which provides
service to the property. Utility service poles may be placed on the
project boundary of the property to be developed only for the purpose
of terminating underground facilities. The developer or owner is responsible
for complying with the requirements of this section and shall make
the necessary arrangements with the utility company for the installation
of such facilities. For the purpose of this section, appurtenances
and associated equipment such as, but not limited to, surface-mounted
transformers, pedestal-mounted terminal boxes and meter cabinets and
concealed ducts in an underground system may be placed aboveground
where located behind the front setback line.
(Ord. 98 § 12.06, 1974)

under the provisions of this title shall be fully dedicated in accordance
with adopted street alignments and city standards and further fully
improved with all public improvements including, but not limited to,
street paving, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaped parkway, street
lights, street trees, fire hydrants and repair or maintenance of existing
improvements. The city may establish and charge fees as approved by
the city council for installation and/or maintenance of any such public
improvements in lieu of immediate improvement. All lots or building
sites developed with any use or structures under provisions of this
title shall be fully improved on site in accordance with zone provisions
