21.02.495 Lot lines.
A. Lot Front Line. “Lot front line” means, in the case of an interior lot, a line separating the lot from the street. In the case of corner lots or reverse corner lots that property line the prolongation of which creates the front property line for the greatest number of interior lots in the same block shall be considered as the lot front line of such corner or reverse corner lot.
B. Lot Rear Line. “Lot rear line” means a lot line which is opposite and most distant from the lot front line. For the purpose of establishing the lot rear line of a triangular or trapezoidal lot, or of a lot the rear line of which is formed by two or more lines, the following shall apply:
1. For a triangular or gore-shaped lot, a line 10 feet in length within the lot and farthest removed from the lot front line and at right angles to the line comprising the depth of such lot shall be used as the lot rear line;
2. In the case of a trapezoidal lot the rear line of which is not parallel to the lot line, the lot rear line shall be deemed to be a line at right angles to the line comprising the depth of such lot and drawn through a point bisecting the recorded lot rear line;
3. In the case of a pentagonal lot the rear boundary of which includes an angle formed by two lines, such angles and lines shall be employed for determining the lot rear line as prescribed for a triangular lot; and
4. In no case shall the application of the above be interpreted as permitting a main building to locate closer than five feet to any property line.
C. Lot Side Line. “Lot side line” means any lot boundary line not a lot front line or a lot rear line. (Ord. 2020 § 2, 1994; Ord. 190 Art. IV § 412, 1964)
