§ 7.5. [Lots and blocks.]

In general, lots shall conform in width, depth and area to the pattern already established in the adjacent areas, having due regard to the character of the neighborhood, its particular suitability for development for residential purposes and also taking into consideration the natural topography of the ground, drainage, sanitary sewerage facilities and the proposed layout of the streets.

It shall be unlawful for the building inspector to issue a permit for any residence, in a zoned residential area, utilizing as a building site the rear portion of any corner lot, or the rear portion of any corner lot merged with a portion of any adjoining lot, to produced a plottage of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for a permissible residential use.

Lots shall front on a public right-of-way and conform to all appropriate requirements as set forth by the zoning ordinance.

All sidelines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines, unless a variation from this rule would, in the opinion of the city planning commission, give a better lot plat.

For private housing projects and planned development uses as permitted by the zoning ordinance, it will not be necessary to subdivide tracts of land. Site plans, however, must be filed showing the arrangement of the project in detail, together with essential requirements such as parking facilities, locations of buildings and the other uses to be permitted and dedication of easements and rights-of-way.

All proposed subdivisions shall conform to the plan of the city of Fort Stockton. Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces any part of a highway, major street, secondary street or parkway, so designated on the major thoroughfare plan, such part of such proposed public way shall be platted by the subdivider in the same location and at the same width as indicated on the major thoroughfare plan.
