20.920.050 Tier 1 Infill Standards.
Tier 1 infill parcels, infill land divisions and the subsequent infill development on those Tier 1 infill parcels shall be subject to the following standards and incentives.
A. Minimum Parcel Area. Within an infill land division for single family development, no parcel shall be smaller than the minimum parcel area identified in Table 20.920.050-1, provided no lot shall exceed the maximum required by the underlying zoning district. In Tier 1, minimum parcel areas shall not be further reduced by a variance procedure in VMC Section 20.290. However, this shall not preclude variances to other standards.

However, subsequent development on infill parcels that were created with less than the minimum width and depth required by Table 20.410.050-1 (Development Standards In Low-Density Residential), shall not be eligible for a variance to the minimum setback or frontage requirements.
C. Setbacks. Infill parcels developed under provisions of this Chapter shall comply with setback requirements of Table 20.410-3 (Development Standards In Low-Density Residential) except that front yard and side yard setbacks in all zones shall be as follows:

b. Ten (10) feet for all other structures
2. Minimum Side Yard.
