9.3. Terms of Measurement

Building height shall be defined according to the measurements and exceptions in Section 2.24.E, Building Height.

Fence height is measured as the vertical distance from the average elevation of the finish grade within six feet of the base of the fence to the top of the fence exclusive of any filling, berming, mounding or landscaping.

Any hard surface, manmade area that does not absorb water, including principal and accessory building roofs, sidewalks, paved parking, driveways, and other paved surfaces.

A parcel of real property with a separate and distinct number or other designation shown on a plat recorded with the County Recorder’s Office, or on an approved record of survey, parcel map, or subdivision map filed with the County Recorder or the Director. A lot abuts at least one public street, right-of-way, or easement determined by the City to provide adequate access.

A lot located at the intersection or intersections of two or more streets at an angle of not more than 135 degrees. If the angle is greater than 135 degrees, the lot shall be considered an interior lot.

A lot having frontage on two dedicated parallel or approximately parallel streets.

An interior lot not having full frontage to a public or private street but including a portion or strip providing access. For purposes of determining setbacks, the front setback area shall be the property line where the access via the “flagpole” is located, the rear setback area shall be opposite to the “flagpole” portion of the lot providing access, and all other setback areas shall be determined to be interior side setback areas. Lots shall meet minimum width requirements set forth in Section 7.3.C(5), Flag Lots.

Includes all enclosed spaces on all floors of a building, including garages.

A lot other than a corner lot.

A lot whose opposing property lines are more than 35 degrees from parallel, such as a pie-shaped lot on a cul-de-sac, or a lot with offsets or other unusual conditions making such lot challenging in terms of establishing setbacks and/or frontages.

Any line bounding a lot.

The horizontal distance between the side lot lines, measured at right angles to the lot depth at a point midway between the front and rear lot lines.

The required distance between the established lot line and any building on the lot or, where the lot line is within a street or access easement, the edge of the street or easement and any building on the lot. All setbacks shall be measured from the edge of all ingress/egress/access easements.

The line that defines the width or depth of a required side setback area that is parallel with the abutting street line or future right-of-way line and is not defined as a front or rear setback area.

The line that defines the depth of the required front setback area. The front setback shall be parallel with the street line or future right-of-way line.

The line that defines the width or depth of a required side setback area that is parallel with an adjacent property line that is not abutting a street or public right-of-way and is not defined as a front or rear setback area.

The line that defines the width or depth of the required side setback area. The side setback line shall be parallel with the property line or if abutting a street shall be parallel with the street line or future right-of-way line.

The line that defines the width or depth of the required rear setback area. The rear setback line shall be parallel with the property line or if abutting a street shall be parallel with the street line or future right-of-way line. The rear setback area is that which is furthest away from the front setback area.

A required space of uniform width adjacent to the perimeter of a lot, the interior boundary of which is measured as a minimum horizontal distance from a lot boundary, or future width line as the required setback of a principal structure and which is unoccupied and unobstructed by improvements from the ground to the sky except for projections permitted by this Code.
