A. Applicability and Exemptions. The provisions of this title shall apply to all proposals for subdivisions. Existing parcels of land which meet prior minimum zoning standards but which do not meet the standards of this section shall not be deemed substandard or nonconforming by enactment of this section. Minimum lot areas, widths and depths shall be as specified in Table 16.24.050. Each individual lot shall comply with the slope/density standards specified in Table 16.24.050.

C. Cross Slope Definition. As defined in Section 16.08.030.
D. Determination of Cross Slope. In all cases, the cross slope of an area shall be determined for land in its natural state or as altered pursuant to previous authorization by the city. The formula set forth in subsection B of this section shall be used to determine cross slopes.
