§ 19-140

Measurements

  • (a) Lot frontage. Lot frontage shall be measured along the street right-of-way line between the side lot lines and shall be not less than 40 feet. Where all frontage is not contiguous, then only the largest single frontage will be considered with regard to minimum frontage requirements; in cases of equivalent noncontiguous frontage, minimum frontage will be determined by the zoning officer.

  • (b) Lot depth. Lot depth shall be measured from the front lot line to the rear lot line; this distance shall be the shortest distance. For lots where the front and rear lot lines are not parallel the lot depth is an average of the depth. Average shall be measured from the midpoint of the front lot line to the midpoint of the rear lot line. Lot depth for corner and through lots shall be as determined under section 19-141.

  • (c) Lot width. Lot width shall be measured as the horizontal distance between the side lines of a lot measured at right angles to its depth along a straight line parallel to the front lot line at the minimum front setback line. For lots where the front and rear lot lines are not parallel or the front lot line is curved, width shall be measured as the distance between lot lines along a line at right angles to the depth which intersects the depth at the minimum front setback line. Width for corner and through lots shall be as determined under section 19-141.
