B.Road Setbacks. All new structures or additions to existing structures on lots or parcels with street frontage on a designated landscape management road shall have a minimum setback of 100 feet from the edge of the designated road right-of-way unless the Planning Director or Hearings Body finds that: 1. A location closer to the designated road would more effectively screen the building from the road; or protect a distant vista; or 2. The lot width makes a 100-foot setback not feasible; or 3. Buildings on both lots or parcels abutting the subject lot or parcel have front setbacks of less than 100 feet and the buildings on the abutting lots or parcels are within 100 feet of the lot lines of the subject property, and the depth of the front setback area is not less than the average depth of the front setback areas of the abutting lots or parcels. If the above findings are made, the Planning Director or Hearings Body may approve a less restrictive front setback which will be appropriate to carry out the purpose of the zone.

The placement of such systems shall minimize the impact on the vegetation along the river and shall allow a dwelling to be constructed on the site as far from the stream or lake as possible. Sand filter systems may be required as replacement systems when this will allow a dwelling to be located further from the stream or to meet the 100-foot setback requirement D.Rimrock Setbacks. New structures (including decks or additions to existing structures) shall have a minimum setback of 50 feet from the rimrock in an LM Zone. An exception to this setback may be granted pursuant to the provisions of DCC 18.84.090(E). E.Rimrock Setback Exceptions. An exception to the 50-foot rimrock setback may be granted by the Planning Director or Hearings Body, subject to the following standards and criteria. 1.
