      1.   There is no minimum property size for non-residential uses.

      2.   Minimum residential property size is set forth in Table 8-21B-2. Minimum residential property size is based on the type of structure and number of dwelling units within that structure.

      1.   Access must be consistent with the Spring Rock planned community sub-area plan future land use map.

      2.   Where access to a local street is not available, property owners must grant cross-access/ingress-egress easements to adjoining properties. This standard is intended to apply primarily to non-residential properties but may extend to residential properties that do not have access to a local street, private road, or alley.
