Figure – Typical Relationship between Easement & Yard Setbacks
(4) Landscape Area Adjacent to Public Right-of-Way . A subdivision or development shall be required to maintain a landscape area adjacent to a public right-of-way pursuant to Article O Landscaping & Tree Protection Standards.
d. General Standards for Setbacks
(1)
Front Setback
A. Standard Setback . The front setback extends across the full width of a zoning lot or site, the depth of which is the minimum horizontal distance between the front property line and a line parallel thereto on the front plane of the principal building.
B. Corner Lot . The front setback on a corner lot shall be measured along the perimeter of the lot designated as the front, where the main entrance of the building is located.
C. Provisional Setback . Where an existing vacant lot is adjacent to developed lots on either side, the placement of the principal building may be allowed to use a front setback that falls at a point between the required front setback and the front setback that exist on the adjacent lot. This provision shall not be interpreted as requiring a greater front setback than imposed by the existing zoning district, and it shall not be interpreted as allowing setbacks to be reduced to a level that results in right-of-way widths being less than the established minimum requirement.
