(a)

Corner lots.

(1)

Front of lot. For corner lots, the side having the least street frontage shall be considered the front for setback purposes; however, the zoning official may waive this requirement and determine the front

yard to be on the street front which is in line with the established building pattern of the street.

(2) Corner lot. In case of corner lots, the side yard setback toward the street shall be 15 feet on lots where the front of the lot has a width at the building line of 70 feet or less. On corner lots where the front of the lot has a width at the building line of more than 70 feet, a setback of 20 feet shall be provided on the street side yard. These special corner lot setbacks are applicable within the R-1AAA, R-1AA, R-1A, and R-2 districts and within single-family areas of planned unit residential districts (PURD). The street-side yard setback for lots over 70 feet in width for lots in the R-2 district shall be 20 feet. Accessory buildings (structures), swimming pools, spas and outdoor recreational areas shall also be set back according to these standards.

(b)

Through-lots. In case of through-lots, front yards shall be provided on all street frontages. Where one of the front yards that would normally be required on a through-lot is not in keeping with the prevailing yard pattern, the zoning official may determine whether it may be treated as a rear or street-side yard.

(c)

Flag lots. Flag lots are any lot with dimensions at the street less than would exist at the building line front setback for the main residence. Flag lots shall observe a 20-foot setback from the property side parallel to the street on the side closest to the street.

(1)

The creation of new lakefront "flag" lots within the R-1AAA, R-1AA, and R-1A zoning districts shall be prohibited.

(d)

Shallow lots. Lots with an average depth of 75 feet or less may utilize a ten-foot rear setback to a one-story structure and a 20-foot rear setback to the two-story portion of any building. Properties with an average lot depth of 115 feet or less may utilize a 15-foot rear setback to a one-story structure and a 25-foot rear setback to the two-story portion of any building.

(e)

Lots of unusual shape. For any lots of unusual shape, not forming part of a general rectangular lot pattern as determined by the zoning official, the zoning official may prescribe front and side yard setbacks.

(f)

Garage and carport setbacks. All lots shall maintain a setback to a garage or carport door(s)/entry of at least 20 feet from any street front lot line so as to preclude the parking of vehicles over a sidewalk or in the right-of-way. Unless approved as part of an overall project development plan by the city commission, any garage doors or carport entry facing a public or private alley or access easement or other roadway used by more than two residences shall maintain a setback of at least 20 feet from the garage door(s) or carport entry to the roadway pavement of the public or private alley or access easement. In addition, for garage doors and carport entries facing a side or rear interior property line, a minimum distance of 22 feet shall be provided in front of garages and carports for the minimum parking exiting turn around space.

(g)

Nonconforming building additions. One-story residential building additions may be constructed less than the required side setback on lots built in line with the predominant side wall setback of an existing dwelling subject to the following conditions:

(1)

The existing dwelling has a nonconforming side setback of five feet or greater.

(2)

The length of the proposed addition does not exceed 24 feet.

(3)

The proposed addition is one story and no taller than the existing first-floor portion of the structure.

(h)

Single story additions to a nonconforming structure.

(1)

One story residential building additions, which are constructed in compliance with the chapter 58 land development code as it relates to FAR, setbacks, building height, and other zoning requirements, may be excluded from the associated construction cost as it relates to section 58-64(c)(2). This exclusion is limited only to the cost of the addition, and any improvements to the existing nonconforming structure, not in conjunction with the associated addition, will still apply.
