Article 5 Lot and Building Standards

5-30 Setbacks

Wake County Unified Development Code

5-13

(B) Front Setbacks

Front setbacks must be measured from the front property line unless the front property line

does not meet the minimum lot width standard (as is the case on a flag lot), in which case

the front setback must be measured from a point on the lot, nearest the front line, that

complies with the minimum lot width standard of the subject zoning district. The Planning

Director is authorized to establish the front property line and/or the front setback line in

cases of uncertainty.

(C) Rear Setbacks

(1)

On irregularly shaped lots, the rear setback is measured from an imaginary line that:

(a)

is within the lot;

(b)

is drawn at a point most distant from the front property line where the lot is 10

feet in width;

(c)

is parallel to the front property line; and

(d)

extends across the entire width of the lot.

(2)

The Planning Director is authorized to establish the rear setback line in cases of

uncertainty.

(D) Side Setbacks

All property lines that are not front or rear property lines will be considered side property

lines for purposes of measuring setbacks. The Planning Director is authorized to establish

the rear setback line in cases of uncertainty.
