1. An existing dwelling unit on the site is located so that it precludes a land division that meets the minimum lot width standard of its zoning district;

2. Only one flag lot is proposed;

3. There will be only one residence on the flag lot (except in the RM-HD zone);

4. Minimum density, minimum lot size and maximum building coverage requirements of the zone will be met; and

5. In the interest of protecting existing neighborhood context, structures taller than 16 feet will not be allowed if more than 50 percent of the lots sharing common lot lines, not including the parent lot, have houses on them that are less than 16 feet tall. Lots without houses on them will not be considered.

1. The pole must connect to a street and must be at least 13 feet wide at the street and for its entire length, or 24 feet if the length from the centerline of the street right-of-way to the flag portion is more than 150 feet or if there will be more than one residence on the flag lot;

2. The pole portion must be part of the flag lot and must be under the same ownership as the flag portion;

3. The access drive must be at least 12 feet wide (or 24 feet; see subsection (C)(1) of this section) and paved with concrete or asphalt. The drive must be designed so that storm water runoff is directed toward an appropriate location and not onto neighboring properties;

4. The flag lot and the existing lot will share the flag lot access pole for common access to the two lots unless the city planner finds such a setup physically impractical.

1. Setbacks. (See Figure 17.30.030-1.) Flag lots have required building setbacks that are the same along all lot lines, except that the setback on the pole portion side shall be at least 13 or 24 feet, as appropriate, plus an additional 20 feet for garage entrances, or more if there is a possibility the pole may someday become part of a larger public right-of-way. The city reserves the right to require greater setbacks in such cases for garages and/or entire structures. The required setbacks for primary structures, including houses and garages, are:
