(A) A development permit for a building, structure or use located on an undeveloped lot shall be issued only if the lot abuts a street. A development permit for a building or structure located on a residentially zoned lot that does not abut a street may be issued, provided the following conditions are met:

(1) The lot was created before September 1, 1987.

(2) Access from a street over intervening lot(s) is provided by an access way having a minimum unobstructed width of twenty (20) feet, and the applicant has submitted evidence satisfactory to the planning and zoning director that the access way has been legally created in a manner which imposes upon the applicant and any intervening lot owners subject to the access way the obligation to keep open and maintain the access way. If documentation of the existence of the access way does not impose the responsibility for maintenance and a duty to keep the access way open upon the applicant and other affected owners, then the applicant shall record an acknowledgment in a form acceptable to the planning and zoning director that the city will not maintain the access way and that emergency service vehicles may not always be able to access the applicant’s lot.

(3) The applicant shall provide for future street access to the lot. If future street access to the lot is shown on the Show Low Master Street Plan, the applicant shall dedicate to the city sufficient land to create a street having a half right-of-way of twenty-five (25) feet on either side of the proposed street centerline. If future street access to the lot is not shown on the Master Street Plan, the applicant may be required to dedicate to the city sufficient land to create a street having a half right-of-way of twenty-five (25) feet on either side of the proposed street centerline to be determined by the city engineer. The applicant’s obligation to dedicate land for future street access is limited to land owned by the applicant. (Ord. No. 2009-01, §§ 1, 2, 1-20-09; Ord. No. 2009-08, §§ 1, 2, 6-2-09; Ord.
