Secondary and Cumulative Impacts Master Management Plan - 2014

Article 5 Lot and Building Standards 5-30 Setbacks

(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.
