Article V sets forth site development standards which are intended to: 1) mitigate those adverse impacts to the community resulting from traffic, noise, glare, odor, drainage, and other typical by-products of development; 2) assure visual and functional compatibility between adjacent land uses; 3) assure that development meets a level of site design that promotes the safety and convenience of the general public; and 4) establish aesthetic design standards.

Lot design standards shall be as set forth in this Article. The arrangement of lots shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of topography or other conditions, in securing building permits to build on all lots in compliance with the requirements of this Code. To maximize the potential for solar energy access, each lot should be oriented along a north-south axis. Building orientation can vary up to 30 degrees from this north-south axis. The side property lines for a lot shall be within 30 degrees of perpendicular to the street upon which the lot has frontage, except on a curved street where the side property lines shall be within 30 degrees of radial to the curve.
