   (A)   The purpose of this subchapter is to establish minimum area and dimensional requirements for mixed use zoning districts to allow conformance with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

   (B)   Minimum frontage buildout indicates that lots must contain buildings along the prescribed length of property line.

      (1)   At front streets the minimum frontage buildout is a percentage of the length of the abutting property line.

      (2)   At side streets the minimum frontage buildout is a specified distance along the property line from the corner.

      (3)   Facades must be within the minimum and maximum setback.

      (4)   At corner lots the width of the property, for frontage buildout calculation, may be reduced by the setback of the perpendicular lot line as indicated by (a) in Figure 152.706.1 below.

   (C)   For buildings subject to a maximum front setback, the area between the building and the right-of-way will be maintained as city easement for right-of-way maintenance.

   (D)    Building width is measured at the front setback. The maximum building width does not apply to buildings with a forecourt frontage type where the forecourt is wider than 40 feet.
