The front lot line of an interior lot is the lot line that abuts a street.

b.

The front lot line of a corner lot is the shortest lot line that abuts a street.

c.

The front lot line of a through lot is established as follows:

i.

For through lots where a front lot line has been previously established on one or more lots located on the same blockface, the street designated as the front lot line of the through lots in such blockface is the front lot line. Previously established means one or more structures along the blockface have established front entrances along that lot line.

ii.

For through lots where a front line has not been previously established on one or more lots on the same blockface or where all lots have not established front lot lines along the same street, the front lot line will be designated by the Director of Community Development.

2.

Interior Side Lot Line. The interior side lot line is a lot line not abutting a street that is not a rear lot line.

3.

Corner Side Lot Line. The lot line that is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the front lot line, which is the longer abutting street lot line of a corner lot.

4.

Rear Lot Line. The rear lot line is that lot line which is opposite and most distant from and is, or most nearly is, parallel to the front lot line.

N.

Lot Width. Lot width is the horizontal distance between the side lot lines measured at right angles to its depth along a straight line parallel to the front lot line at the minimum front setback line. For irregular lots, such as cul-de-sac lots or pie-shaped lots, lot width is measured at the front building line of the structure between side lot lines.

O.

Separation/Required Distance Between. When the Ordinance requires separation between structures or uses located on separate lots, such separation is measured between the closest lot lines of the two lots. When the Ordinance requires separation between structures or uses located on the same lot, such separation is measured between building walls.

P.

Sight Triangle. A sight triangle is located at the intersection of the street or alley right-of-way, access easement, and/or driveway pavement, is measured at a line joining the points at a distance as follows:

a.

Five feet from the point of the intersection of driveways and the lot line, as measured along the lot line and edge of driveway pavement.

b.

For intersections forming a 90-degree angle, 15 feet down each street measured along the right-of-way.

c.

For intersections forming an angle greater than 90 degrees, 15 feet down each street measured along the right-of-way, minus two feet for each 20 degrees or fraction thereof the angle exceeds 90 degrees.

d.

For intersections forming an angle less than 90 degrees, 15 feet down each street measured along the right-of-way, plus 2 feet for each 20 degrees or fraction thereof the angle is less than 90 degrees.

Q.

Yards and Setbacks. A yard is the open space area between a principal building and the adjoining lot line. A required setback may be equal to or lesser than a yard and is the required minimum distance a principal building must be located from a lot line, which is unoccupied and unobstructed by any portion of a principal building or accessory structure, unless permitted by this Ordinance. A setback extends along a lot line for the minimum depth specified by the zoning district in which such lot is located.

The minimum yard space required for one structure shall not again be considered as yard space for another adjoining structure.

No lot shall be reduced in area so that the yards or other open space become less than required by this ordinance.

a.

Front Yard and Setback. A front yard is located between a principal building and the front lot line. A front setback is the required minimum distance per the zoning district that a principal building must be located from the front lot line. The front yard and setback extends the full width of the lot between side lot lines measured perpendicular to the front lot line.

b.

Interior Side Yard and Setback. An interior side yard is located between a principal building and the interior side lot line. An interior side setback is the required minimum distance per the zoning district that a principal building must be located from the interior side lot line. The interior side yard and setback extends along the interior side lot line between the front and rear setback lines, measured perpendicular to the interior side lot line.

c.

Corner Side Yard and Setback. A corner side yard is located between a principal building and the corner side lot line. A corner side setback is the required minimum distance per the zoning district that a principal building must be located from the corner side lot line. The corner side yard and setback extends along the corner side lot line between the front setback line and the rear lot line, measured perpendicular to the corner side lot line.

d.

Rear Yard and Setback. A rear yard is located between a principal building and the rear lot line. A rear setback is the required minimum distance per the zoning district that a principal building must be located from the rear lot line. In the case of an interior lot, the rear yard and setback extends between interior side lot lines, measured perpendicular to the rear lot line. In the case of a corner lot, the rear yard and setback extends between the interior side lot line to the required corner side setback, measured perpendicular to the rear lot line.

e.

Reverse Corner Side Yard and Setback. A reverse corner side yard is located between a principal building and the corner side lot line, where the corner side lot line adjoining a street is substantially a continuation of the front lot line of the first lot to its rear. A reverse corner side setback is the required minimum distance per the zoning district that a principal building must be located from corner side lot line. The reverse corner side yard and setback extends along the corner side lot line between the front setback line and the rear lot line, measured perpendicular to the corner side lot line. For reverse corner lots, the lot width dimension used to determine the reverse corner side setback is measured at the shorter of the two street abutting lot lines; the "corner side setback" dimensional requirement in the district applies to the reverse corner side setback.
