The size, design, character, grades, location, orientation and
configuration of a proposed subdivision and improvements required
in connection therewith shall be consistent with the density and uses
authorized for the area by the general plan, any applicable specific
plan, the Roseville Municipal Code, the Zoning Ordinance including
the tree preservation chapter, the improvement standards, the City
of Roseville community design guidelines, and other applicable policies
and standards of the Roseville Municipal Code and adopted ordinances,
whichever is more restrictive.
(Ord. 2747 § 1, 1993; Ord. 4009 § 1, 2003)
A. The
lots within a proposed subdivision shall comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
B. All
subdivisions shall result in lots which can be used or built upon.
No subdivision shall create lots which are impractical for improvement
or use due to steepness of terrain, location of watercourses, location
of native oak trees, size, shape, inadequate frontage or access or
building area or other physical condition, unless they are designated
for open space, flooding, or some other similar purpose.
C. The
side lot lines of all lots, so far as practical, shall be at approximately
right angles to the fronting street, or approximately radial to the
center of the curvature, if the street is curved. Sidelines of each
lot shall be approximately radial to the center of the curvature of
a cul-de-sac, where applicable.
D. No
remnants of property, with the exception of approved nonbuildable
sites, shall be created which do not conform to lot requirements herein
or which are not required for public or private utility purposes.
E. Flag
lots may be used to address topographic and other natural constraints,
or where there is no practical alternative design for the development
of the interior portions of excessively deep or irregularly shaped
parcels.
F. The
lots within a proposed subdivision shall be reviewed for consistency
with the native oak tree evaluation criteria contained in the tree
preservation chapter of the Zoning Ordinance, and any applicable specific
plan. Lot patterns, sizes and existing topography shall be reviewed
with consideration of the location of native oak trees to maximize
preservation of native oak trees.
(Ord. 2747 § 1, 1993; Ord. 4009 § 1, 2003)
The design of blocks shall be governed by the following:
A. Lot
access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic, as outlined
in the circulation element of the general plan and the improvement
standards;
B. Lot
sizes, as required by the Zoning Ordinance; and
C. Limitations
and opportunities of existing topography and other physical features.
