Appendix 710. Lot design and building placement standards.

711 The lot area, width, depth, shape and orientation and the minimum building setback lines shall be in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped elongations solely to provide necessary square footage of area which would be unusable for normal purposes. Generally, subdivided lots of less than ten (10) acres shall not exceed a lot depth-to-width ratio of five to one (5:1).

712 Every lot shall front a street, and the side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles or radial to the street line.

713 Corner lots shall have a width sufficient to conform to required building setback lines on both streets and to provide adequate building sites.

714 In the case of lots for residential purposes, the building setback line shall conform to the requirements of the Culpeper County Zoning Ordinance.

715 In the case of lots for commercial, industrial or nonresidential use, the lot area, width, depth, shape, orientation and the minimum building setback lines shall be in accordance with the requirements of any existing zoning or other applicable ordinance and shall be adequate to provide for the off-street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated.
