Previously, the County increased front setback requirements along select corridors to reflect future right-of-way needs. Section 7.04.04 (Base Building Line Setback Requirements) the Land Development Code outlines setback requirements for thoroughfares (Table 7-11 in the Land Development Code) . The table defines existing and ultimate rights-of-way for named roadway segments as well as specific base building lines for each segment. For any road not found in the table, the base building line dimension is 30 feet. The land development code also clarifies that, “when a thoroughfare right-of-way from centerline is greater than the base building line dimension as hereby established, the right-of-way line shall serve as the basis on which to measure front, side, and rear yard setbacks.” The County has not had legal challenges to this practice to date.
