[1] 
Obtain a site approval for a subsurface sewage disposal system from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality within each newly configured lot or developed site, or connect to a community sewer system; and
[2] 
The requirements of Chapter 19.84 JCC (Water Standards) shall apply to new land divisions creating parcels two acres or smaller in size, and to developments requiring site plan review that require more than 1,600 gallons per day of groundwater. This requirement shall apply to all land divisions even though JCC § 19.84.020(A) and (B) specify a one-acre threshold. The Water Resources Director or the Planning Director shall administer the requirements of Chapter 19.84 JCC. This requirement shall not apply if the water source is a community water system or the City of Grants Pass.
b. 
Merger of Nonconforming Lots or Parcels. When one or more nonconforming lots or parcels are involved in a single development, the nonconforming lots or parcels shall be merged with each other, and with other conforming lots or parcels also involved in the development, by property line adjustment or replat to the extent needed to achieve conformity or the least nonconformity possible. In addition, no variance to any setback standard shall be authorized to support development of nonconforming lots or parcels.

The use may be limited or altered by conditions in the permit approval so that consistency is achieved, or denied if consistency cannot be achieved;
4. 
Building size, accessory heights, setbacks and yard dimensions shall conform to the provisions of Chapter 19.72 JCC, except:
