(b)

Setbacks. Except as otherwise provided, all structures shall conform to the following minimum setbacks. The more restrictive distance shall apply.

Reduced setbacks. A setback of less than the required setback is permitted where there are at least five existing main buildings which are within the required setback within 500 feet of the proposed building site. In such cases, the setback shall be the average of the nearest main building on each side of the proposed site, or if there is no building on one side, the average of the setback for the main building on one side and the required setback.

As specified in section 22-678(b), the highway setback is determined by the road's functional classification. The highways contained in this listing are defined by county as statewide and areawide arterials on the 1970 functional system map.
