Lot split variance policy revisions
Summary
The current policy compares proposed split lots to the median of nearby lots on BOTH area and width, which blocks most splits. Staff proposes tying the median test to whichever dimension the variance actually concerns, which would make splits easier to obtain. The board agreed the language needs to be clarified.
