“Lot lines” means the lines bounding the lot. For purposes of establishing a setback line for a lot, “lot lines” shall also mean the limits of a private street, when such a street is located on the lot. See Figures 18.04.570(A) and (B).
A. Front Lot Line.
1. For an interior lot, the front lot line shall be that lot line which abuts the street right-of-way.
2. For a corner lot, the front lot line shall be that lot line which abuts a street right-of-way and bests conforms to the pattern of existing site development and/or the pattern of adjacent development, as determined by the planning director.
3. For a through lot, the front lot line shall be that lot line which abuts a nonarterial street or from which primary access is provided.
B. Rear Lot Line. The line opposite, most distant and most parallel with the front lot line. For a biangular or gore-shaped lot, a line 10 feet in length within the lot and farthest removed from the front lot line and at right angles to the line comprising the depth of the lot shall be used as the rear lot line.
C. Side Lot Line. All lot lines which do not qualify as a rear or front lot line.
D. Panhandle Lot Lines. For a panhandle lot, the lot lines shall be approved by the planning director. The lot lines shall be most consistent with the adjoining lot lines and shall take into consideration any unique physical characteristics of the property.
